Usage & Replacement Notes
Use SPX1420A1 when:
- The original flow-director/jet insert is damaged, cracked, missing or leaking.
- You need to redirect return water flow (e.g. to improve circulation or jet direction after remodeling or equipment changes).
- The return jet isn’t seating properly or water flow is erratic due to wear.
Installation is straightforward: remove the existing insert from the return-jet housing, press the SPX1420A1 rubber flow-director into place, then reinstall the jet trim or eyeball collar. Verify alignment and water flow after startup. Periodic check for cracking or wear helps ensure sustained performance and a tight jet seal.
