Backwash Valve Sealing + Hayward Slide-Valve Service
- Val-Pak aftermarket replacement backwash piston O-ring set
- Made for compatible Hayward push-pull / slide backwash valve applications
- Current replacement references associate this seal configuration with SP0410 / SP410-series valves
- Helps restore sealing around the moving backwash piston assembly
- Useful when existing piston O-rings are worn, flattened, cracked, or leaking
- Exact Val-Pak part number V60-100 simplifies replacement identification
The Val-Pak V60-100 Hayward Backwash Piston O-Ring Set is an aftermarket replacement seal set for servicing compatible Hayward push-pull / slide backwash valve piston assemblies. Val-Pak identifies V60-100 specifically as its Hayward Backwash Piston O-Ring Set, making it a more precise application than a generic plumbing-union O-ring kit.
Backwash piston O-rings seal the moving piston assembly as the valve shifts between filtration and backwash positions. If the seals become worn or damaged, the valve may become difficult to operate or may no longer seal correctly. Replacing the correct piston O-rings can restore the valve while keeping an otherwise serviceable valve body and piston assembly in use.
Best For
- Compatible Hayward push-pull / slide backwash valve service
- SP0410 / SP410-style piston applications
- SP0410X502S valve repairs where this O-ring configuration is specified
- Replacing worn backwash piston seals
- Filter valve maintenance after piston-seal wear has been diagnosed
Why This Part Matters
The piston seals separate flow paths inside the backwash valve while allowing the piston to move between filter and backwash positions. Worn seals can contribute to leakage or binding. Hayward service documentation for SP0410-series valves specifically notes that worn piston O-rings should be replaced with the correct sizes and that incorrect O-rings can cause binding and leakage.
Common Signs to Inspect the Piston O-Rings
- Water leaks through the valve when it should be sealed
- Backwash valve piston movement becomes stiff or inconsistent
- Existing piston O-rings are cracked, flattened, swollen, or damaged
- Valve service identifies worn internal piston seals
- Your parts reference calls for the V60-100 / SP410-style piston O-ring configuration

Compatibility & Fitment Notes
Val-Pak classifies V60-100 as a Hayward Backwash Piston O-Ring Set. Current replacement references associate this O-ring configuration with Hayward SP0410 / SP410-series push-pull slide valves, including SP0410X502S. Verify the exact valve model and piston style before ordering. This is a backwash piston seal set, not a generic 2-inch plumbing union O-ring kit.
Installation & Use Notes
Turn off the pool pump, isolate the equipment, and fully relieve filter-system pressure before servicing the backwash valve. Confirm the valve model and piston assembly before removing existing seals. Install replacement O-rings in their correct positions and follow the valve manufacturer's current service instructions for lubrication, orientation, and reassembly. Do not open or service a pressurized filtration system.
Buy with Confidence
Benchmark Pool Supply helps customers match pool filter and valve seals by manufacturer reference, valve model, and actual application. Verify that your Hayward backwash valve uses the compatible SP0410 / SP410-style piston O-ring configuration before ordering V60-100.
