Hayward Twist Lock Pump Power Cord

This cord is designed for Hayward pumps that specifically require a 3-prong, twist-lock connection. While it fits many models, you should verify your existing pump's plug configuration and amperage requirements before purchasing to ensure a proper match.

Pool pumps draw significant electrical current, and 12-gauge wiring is thick enough to handle that load safely without overheating. Using a thinner gauge cord can lead to voltage drops or potential fire hazards, so sticking to the manufacturer's recommended gauge is essential for safety.

No, this cord is specifically designed for twist-lock receptacles. If your pump or power source uses a standard straight-blade plug, this cord will not fit, and you should not attempt to modify the plug or receptacle.

The 3-foot length is standard for pump-to-receptacle connections where the outlet is located immediately adjacent to the equipment pad. If your power source is further away, you will need to ensure your electrical setup meets local code requirements rather than using an extension cord.

This is a replacement cord assembly, so it includes the plug and the wiring leads. You will need to have basic tools on hand to open your pump's wiring compartment and secure the new connections properly.
