Description
Balboa 2" Heater Split-Nut Less Screws (50086)
The screwless 2" heater split-nut from Balboa Water Group (BWG) is designed for seamless spa heater replacement and maintenance. Model 50086 mirrors the trusted split-nut fit used in Balboa heater assemblies while arriving without the screw hardware. It’s the screwless counterpart to the common screw version (X802900 / 50087), offering a streamlined option for compatible systems.
Why choose the screwless variant? It simplifies installation by eliminating screw handling during replacement and reduces potential points of failure in service. This design is ideal for technicians and DIY enthusiasts who work with Balboa 2" heater connections and prefer a cleaner, quicker install without extra fasteners.
Key compatibility and references
- Fits Balboa 2" heater connections and split-nut assemblies
- Equivalent fit to X802900 (Master Spas) and Balboa 50087 (screw version)
- Replacements and related parts: 400-5161 and 0121108020
What you’ll notice in real-world use
- Faster, tidier installations thanks to the screwless design
