I had the same problem before I switched to automation. I think it's fairly common. Tighten with pliers definitely helps. Not sure why this happens as new ones seem to work pretty well just hand tightened. Maybe the switch requires more force to throw as it ages and this causes it to drag the stops?
This is a great reason to switch to automation.

Torque from the motor starting puts a lot of force on the pipes. And pressure changes also put some more strain on pipes.

No the sleeve is missing, slide and tighten it down and it will stop leaking JK
Hopefully it won't be too hard to replace

Good news it's cheap so if your cut is 2" short toss it and start over..
My challenge is my brain doesn't look at a project and think "I need 3 90, 2 Tee and 10' of pipe" I grab a few of what I think and start piecing it together Usually after a few hours and a 2nd trip to Home depot I am done

Not sure, I think Hayward uses the same on most of their products. Look at inyopools.com if you don't see it email them, they are very helpful
@markayash I checked in with inyo and they helped me find the right parts.

Thanks, James. I checked in with them and that's what I'm going to order.
No more leaks! I had someone do the plumbing for me. I fixed the filter leak with marine epoxy.
