Hayward Replacement Lateral Assembly w/Center Pipe For Pro Series Sand Filter SX144DA
The Hayward Replacement Lateral Assembly w/ Center Pipe for Pro Series Sand Filters (SX144DA) is a complete OEM-style hub and lateral standpipe assembly that restores proper sand bed filtration and flow in smaller Pro Series tanks like the S140T and S144T. It is ideal when multiple laterals are cracked, clogged, or broken and you want a full, ready-to-install replacement instead of individual parts.
Key Features & Benefits
- Complete lateral assembly replacement – includes the center standpipe with pre-mounted laterals, so you can swap out a damaged internal assembly in one step instead of replacing fingers one by one.
- Fits Hayward Pro Series sand filters S140T and S144T – engineered to match the original internal plumbing on these compact Pro Series filters for reliable, like-new performance.
- Includes center pipe – no need to re-use a worn or brittle standpipe; this unit replaces both the hub and laterals plus the vertical pipe for a full refresh.
- “Umbrella” style folding laterals (on many current versions) make installation and removal easier through the top of the filter tank compared with older screw-in laterals.
- Restores even water distribution across the sand bed, helping prevent channeling, poor filtration, and sand returning to the pool when old laterals fail.
- Durable Hayward construction designed for long service life under pressure and in chlorinated pool water, reducing the frequency of internal filter repairs.
