Hayward Replacement Lateral Assembly w/Center Pipe for Select Sand Filters SX180DA
The Hayward Replacement Lateral Assembly w/ Center Pipe SX180DA is a genuine Hayward umbrella-style hub and standpipe assembly that restores proper sand filtration and flow in select Pro Series and high‑rate sand filters.
Key Features & Benefits
- Complete lateral assembly with center pipe replacement for worn, cracked, or clogged internals, making it easy to refresh your filter in one swap instead of replacing individual laterals.
- Fits Hayward Pro Series sand filter model S180T only, providing a direct OEM-style drop‑in assembly for this 18" tank size.
- Also compatible with S210T1580 Series high‑rate sand filters, covering certain pre‑plumbed above‑ground systems that use the same internal assembly.
- Folding “umbrella” lateral design passes through the top of the tank for easier removal and installation during sand changes or internal repairs.
- Helps restore even water distribution through the sand bed, reducing channeling, sand blow‑by, and cloudy water issues caused by damaged laterals.
- Genuine Hayward replacement part built from durable, chemical‑resistant materials for long service life in chlorinated water.
