Made in Mainland China from durable, reliable plastic with a rubber seal gasket, every component in this kit is designed for a secure, leak-free connection — no plumber required.

What's Included

• 1 x Sand Pump Compatible Conversion Plate — A circular sealing plate with a rubber gasket that converts your SFX1000, SFX1500, SFX600, or SFX1500S skimmer pump into a sand filter-compatible device. Ridged edges make installation and removal easy to handle.
• 2 x Type B Hose Adapters — Convert 1.25-inch pool fittings to 1-inch fittings when upgrading from a low-flow pump (1,000 GPH or less) to a higher-flow system (1,500 GPH or more).
• 1 x Roll of Teflon Tape — Non-toxic, tasteless, and highly effective for sealing threaded connections, preventing water leaks around the skimmer, and saving you an extra trip to the hardware store.
