Over-torquing a flexible fitting can deform the collar and cause seepage at the joint — snug and aligned is the goal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual:2026-06-22 --\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51774183440659,"sku":"ECX1326A","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/hayward-flexible-elbow-for-starclear-cartridge-filter-50-sq-ft-w3c500-ecx1326a-1.webp?v=1788751716","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/hayward-flexible-elbow-ecx1326a","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
