YEHERIT Key Cover and Handle Assembly for Hayward SP0710 Series — 1-1/2" Vari-Flo with Gasket & O-Ring

YEHERIT SPX0710XBA17 is a direct replacement key cover and handle assembly with gasket and O-ring for Hayward 1-1/2" Vari-Flo multiport valves (SP0710 series), restoring secure operation and leak-free performance.

If you maintain a pool or service filtration systems, this replacement kit gives you the parts needed to revive older Hayward Vari-Flo multiport valves without replacing the entire valve body. Designed to fit models SP0710, SP0710X, SP0711, and SP0712 manufactured from 1976 onward, the kit includes the key cover, handle assembly, a gasket, and an O-ring so you can rebuild the user interface and restore smooth lever action.

How will this replacement part fit my Hayward Vari-Flo valve?

The YEHERIT assembly is engineered to match the original Hayward SP0710-series mounting points and handle dimensions. It installs in the same orientation and uses the valve's existing spindle and fasteners for a straightforward swap.

• Compatible with Hayward SP0710, SP0710X, SP0711, SP0712 1-1/2" Vari-Flo valves.
• Matches original hole pattern and handle spline for secure fit.
• Includes gasket and O-ring sized for the valve bonnet to reduce leaks.

What comes in the kit and what tools will I need?

The kit contains the key cover, the handle assembly, one gasket, and one O-ring so you have the visible parts that usually wear out. Basic tools—screwdriver, adjustable wrench, and silicone lubricant—are enough to replace the assembly in most cases.

• Included: key cover, handle assembly, gasket, O-ring.
• Recommended tools: Phillips screwdriver, 1/2" or adjustable wrench, silicone grease.
• Typical time to replace: 15–30 minutes for most DIYers.

Will this repair stop leaks or make the valve operate like new?

Replacing the key cover, handle, and seals addresses common sources of leaks and poor lever action when those parts are worn or damaged. While it fixes exterior handling and seal surfaces, it does not replace internal ports or the valve body—inspect the internal rotor and seat for wear if leaks persist.

• Gasket and O-ring restore the bonnet seal to reduce weeping around the handle.
• New handle and cover remove play and improve detent engagement.
• For persistent internal leaks, consider inspecting valve rotor and ports separately.

How long can I expect this replacement to last?

Longevity depends on use, chemical exposure, and installation quality but replacing worn parts with quality components typically restores reliable service for several seasons. Using silicone-based lubricant and tightening to the correct torque helps preserve the seals and mechanical fit.

• Durability influenced by sunlight, pool chemistry, and cycle frequency.
• Proper installation and lubrication extend service life significantly.
• Keep spare O-rings and gaskets on hand for future maintenance.

Who is this for: Pool technicians, DIY pool owners, and service shops that maintain older Hayward Vari-Flo 1-1/2" multiport valves will find this YEHERIT replacement kit useful. It's tailored for users wanting a cost-effective way to restore handle control and bonnet sealing without buying a full valve, especially for units from 1976 to present that use the SP0710-series components.
