Hayward SP1419ABLK Hydrostream Hydrosweep Directional Flow Inlet Fitting (Black) — 1-1/2″ MIP, Slotted Opening
The Hayward SP1419ABLK is an OEM Hydrostream Hydrosweep directional return inlet fitting for pool wall returns. It features a slotted opening and an adjustable internal flow direction to help create a proper circulation pattern and reduce dead spots. This version is black to match darker pool finishes and return trim.
Key Features
- Hydrosweep slotted outlet helps shape and spread return flow for improved circulation
- Fully adjustable to direct flow to targeted areas of the pool
- 1-1/2″ MIP threaded connection (fits common 1-1/2″ female return adapters)
- Durable pool-grade construction for long-term use
- Black finish
Fits / Compatibility
- Standard pool wall return applications that accept a 1-1/2″ MIP threaded return fitting
- Used as a replacement directional return fitting on many in-ground pool return lines
Common Reasons to Replace
- Cracked or brittle return fitting from age/UV exposure
- Worn/loose adjustment parts that won’t hold direction
- Missing or damaged return outlet components after service
- Upgrading from white trim to a black return fitting
Installation Notes
- Verify the wall fitting accepts a 1-1/2″ male threaded return inlet before ordering.
- Hand-tighten and align; avoid overtightening plastic threads.
- After installation, adjust the outlet direction to improve overall circulation (often angled across the pool surface toward the skimmer, depending on layout).

Maintenance Tips
- Brush around the return opening regularly to prevent debris and scale buildup.
- If flow weakens, check the pump basket and filter first—dirty filtration is the most common cause.
- Keep water chemistry balanced to reduce calcium scaling that can restrict return outlets over time.
- Re-aim the return periodically as seasons change (wind patterns and debris loads can shift the best circulation direction).
