Hayward Handle & Piston Assembly (SPX0410BA)
The Hayward SPX0410BA Handle & Piston Assembly is a complete internal replacement component for select Hayward push-pull style slide valves. This assembly restores smooth valve operation by replacing the internal piston mechanism and external handle used to control water flow during filtration and backwashing.
Designed for durability in demanding pool environments, the piston creates a proper internal seal while the handle allows easy manual operation of the valve. Replacing worn piston assemblies helps prevent leakage, binding, and incomplete valve engagement.
