Frequently Asked Questions

Which Polaris models does this coupling fit?
This coupling is designed for the Polaris 280 pressure-side pool cleaner. Check your existing part number (W7230401) to confirm compatibility before ordering.

What does NPTF mean?
NPTF stands for National Pipe Taper Fuel — a tapered thread standard that creates a metal-to-metal seal for leak-free connections, commonly used in pool plumbing fittings.

Do I need thread sealant?
NPTF threads are designed to seal without tape or sealant due to the taper, but applying PTFE tape is still recommended for pool plumbing to ensure a watertight fit.

How do I know if this part needs replacing?
Signs of a failing coupling include water leaking at the hose connection, reduced cleaner pressure, or visible cracking or distortion in the fitting body.
