Hayward SPX1600F5 – Motor Mounting Plate
Product Overview
The Hayward SPX1600F5 is a replacement motor mounting plate designed for Hayward Super Pump, MaxFlo and other compatible in-ground pool pumps. It provides a secure and proper alignment surface between the pump motor and housing for reliable pump operation.
Key Features
- Exact fit for multiple Hayward pump models in the Super Pump and MaxFlo families.
- Precision-machined mounting surface ensures correct motor coupling and alignment.
- Durable construction built to withstand pool environments and pump vibration.
- Ideal when the original plate is cracked, warped or failed due to age or alignment issues.
Technical Specifications
- Part Number: SPX1600F5
- Application: Motor mounting plate for in-ground pool pump motors
- Compatible Pump Models: Hayward Super Pump SP1600X/SP2600X, MaxFlo SP1800X/SP2800X and others

Applications & Compatibility
This motor mounting plate is used when your pump motor mounting surface is damaged, misaligned or causing coupling issues. Replacing with the SPX1600F5 helps restore correct motor alignment and extend the life of your pump drivetrain. Always verify your current motor and pump model to ensure compatibility.
Installation Instructions
- Shut off all power to the pump and lock out the circuit.
- Disconnect the motor wiring and remove the motor from the pump housing.
- Remove the existing mounting plate and clean the motor foot surfaces and coupling area.
- Install the new SPX1600F5 mounting plate, align the motor shaft and coupling, and secure per manufacturer torque specs.
- Reconnect wiring, restore power and observe pump operation for proper flow, minimal vibration and correct alignment.
Troubleshooting
-
Excess vibration: Confirm alignment between motor shaft, coupling and impeller—check that mounting plate sits flat and bolts are tightened evenly.
-
Pump motor overheating: Ensure the plate aligns the motor correctly and that airflow around the motor is unobstructed.
-
Persistent mechanical noise: Inspect the coupling and mount surfaces for wear or misalignment even after plate replacement.
Maintenance Tip
Inspect the mounting plate during annual equipment service for cracks, warping or corrosion. Replacing worn mounting plates like the SPX1600F5 can prevent premature pump motor failure and improve system reliability.
