Replacing Bulkhead Inlet

[cookbe911]

Hello, I have a leak on the inlet of my Jandy 460 Filter housing. I first tried tightening the end cap and it cracked which is one problem. In the process of trying to remove the bulkhead I realized I couldn’t remove the broken end cap because of the lip on the other end of the bulkhead. I thought it was screwed on but now it looks like it’s glued on. How am I supposed to replace the bulkhead in this case? Is there an easier way? I have attached a pic.

Thanks in advance!

You might have to cut & replace that fitting, but for some reason I seem to recall a split nut part that "might" be available. Not sure. Let's tag @1poolman1 to confirm. I think he does this stuff in his sleep.

Thanks! That would be great!

It appears the hand nut has broken. Search 2" union split nut repair.
It replaces the hand nut with a two piece that connects together around the fitting that goes into the filter.

Thanks, I will try that. I will let you know how it goes!

I suspect @1poolman1 didn't see the tag, but I'll also try @JamesW just in case.

Easiest is to cut the tailpiece off flush with the fitting (labeled Lasco). Glue in a 2" pipe extender.


Install a new assembly (R0522900).

The split-nut that fits a Jandy bulkhead/half-union is hard to find.
