Intex inlet air nozzle and jet repair kit for above-ground pools — 1.25" connectors, fits 1,050–1,900 GPH pumps

Intex 26004E is a complete replacement kit of inlet air nozzle and related jet parts designed to restore water circulation in Intex above-ground pools and fit filter pumps rated 1,050–1,900 GPH.

This repair set gathers the most commonly needed inlet and jet components so you can replace worn or damaged pieces without buying a whole inlet assembly. The kit contains a plunger valve with O-ring, two 1.25-inch strainer connectors, two strainer grids, and a complete inlet air nozzle assembly with its own O-ring and fittings. Each piece is sized and shaped to match Intex fittings so installation is straightforward for standard above-ground pool setups.

How will these parts improve my pool's circulation?

Replacing a leaking or clogged inlet/jet restores proper flow patterns and prevents weak return streams. The new O-rings and strainers help maintain a sealed connection while keeping debris away from the jet pathways.

• Restores sealed jet connections with fresh O-rings to prevent air leaks
• Strainer grids block leaves and large debris from clogging jets
• Compatible fittings ensure full flow through pumps rated 1,050–1,900 GPH

Which parts are included, and what do they each do?

The kit bundles every component you’ll need for a typical inlet/jet repair on an Intex above-ground pool. Each item is intended either to protect the pump, control water flow, or reconnect the inlet to existing hoses and fittings.

• Plunger valve with O-ring (10747) — regulates inlet action and seals against leaks
• Two strainer connectors for 1.25-inch fittings (11070) — join hoses and prevent large material entry
• Two strainer grids (11072) — screen out debris before it reaches the jet or pump
• Inlet air nozzle set (12354) — exterior jet, O-ring, and fittings to complete the return assembly

Will this kit fit my pump and pool model?

The parts are made for Intex above-ground pools and compatible with filter pumps providing between 1,050 and 1,900 gallons per hour. They are designed to work with standard Intex hose sizes and inlet openings, but you should still match sizes before installing.

• Intended for Intex above-ground pools and Intex-style hose fittings
• Works with filter pumps rated 1,050–1,900 GPH
• Check that your hoses and inlet opening match the 1.25-inch connector size

How easy is installation and what tools are needed?

Installation is a straightforward maintenance task that most owners can complete without specialized tools. Parts plug or screw into existing inlet openings and connect to standard hoses; replacing O-rings and strainers typically requires only basic hand tools and lubricant for a snug seal.

• Typical installation uses only a screwdriver and a silicone lubricant for O-rings
• Plunger valve and nozzle fit into side inlet openings and attach to standard hoses
• Strainers and connectors snap or screw into place—no major plumbing changes required

Who is this for: Pool owners who use Intex above-ground pools and want to replace worn inlet or jet components without buying a full replacement inlet assembly. It suits DIYers servicing an Intex filter pump (1,050–1,900 GPH), maintenance staff who keep returns and strainers clean, and anyone needing compatible, genuine-style replacement parts to keep circulation efficient and debris out of the pump.
