Hayward sp1044ins Insider Flush Return Fitting Pvc

Product Description

The HAYWARD sp1044ins is a 1.5-inch socket (SKT) Insider Flush Return Fitting designed for concrete pool and spa installations. This fitting ships with a mud cover to protect the threaded interior during construction or gunite application. The white PVC body provides corrosion resistance in chemically treated water environments. Internal 1.5-inch threads accept a range of directional fittings, plugs, grate inserts, outlet covers, and JetAir hydrotherapy fittings. Licensed pool and spa contractors install this fitting during the shell phase, embedding it flush with the vessel wall before plaster or finish is applied.

This fitting is intended for concrete, gunite, and shotcrete pool and spa construction. The flush-mount design eliminates protrusion into the pool interior, keeping the finished wall surface smooth. The included mud cover keeps the threaded socket clear of debris and concrete during the build phase. Once the shell is complete, the mud cover is removed and the appropriate directional fitting, plug, or hydrotherapy insert is threaded into the 1.5-inch female socket. This fitting is commonly used in residential and light commercial pool construction projects.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed pool and spa contractors during the shell construction phase, prior to plaster or finish application. The fitting must be properly positioned and secured before gunite or shotcrete is applied to ensure a flush, level finish. Leave the mud cover in place until the shell is fully cured and ready for finish work. Verify all fittings meet local health department and building code requirements for pool and spa construction before installation.
