Connection style: Barb

This part is supplied through the Artesian Spas OEM parts network for Tropic Seas Spas. For freeze damage or leak repairs, you may need more than one plumbing piece because glued fittings often have to be cut back to clean pipe before the repair can be rebuilt.
Fitment Notes
Compare this part to the piece removed from your spa. Check the pipe size, slip/socket, spigot, barb, threaded connection, number of ports, angle, and whether the part connects to a pump, manifold, valve, suction, drain, jet line, or waterfall line.
