Spa Seat - Jet Repair

[MarkC]

I would try retapping the threads that are messed up with a metal pipe fitting with the same threads. That might put the plastic back where it should be.

Tried that, but no go. The threaded ring that holds in the jet is 1-3/4" in diameter. Could not find any metal plumbing fittings that diameter -- everything seems to be 1-1/2 or 2".

The jet is a Hayward SP1434 hydrotherapy jet. I've been able to remover the ring that hold the jet to the wall of the seat, but that doesn't help the situation other than to get a little better look at the messed up threads.

I am going to try to file or re-cut the threads by hand-- at least to see if I can get the threaded ring to sit right.

Otherwise, anybody know of to replace one of these jets without having access to the back/wall of the seat (which is under the concrete deck?

TIA
