Description
What This Nut Is
This is a dark plastic nut with an internal thread. It pulls the connecting element against the body of the sand filter and keeps the connection secure. It is made by Mountfield for Swing Plus and Azuro filters.

How It Works
The nut presses the seal into place and stops the connection from working loose. The textured surface is easy to grip with your fingers, so no wrenches are needed. When the thread wears out or the plastic cracks, water starts to leak from the connection.
Signs It Is Time to Replace It
- a crack in the body of the nut
- chipped or crushed thread teeth
- a connection that works loose during operation
- a nut lost during disassembly
The Advantage of the Original
The part is made to the dimensions of the specific models, so it fits without any modification. Non-original equivalents are sometimes off by a millimetre, which leads to another leak.
Replacement Step by Step
- Stop the pump and shut off the water supply to the filter.
- Unscrew the worn nut and check the condition of the seal beneath it.
- Replace the seal as well if necessary.
- Screw on the new nut carefully so as not to cross the thread.
- Tighten by hand, turn the water back on and check the connection for leaks.
Caring for Plastic Threads
Before winter, clean and inspect all connections. Store removed parts in a dry, dark place. Do not use power tools to tighten plastic. Do not fit a new part onto a neighbouring component that is already deformed.
