Its just a union but that exact one looks to be discontinued.
I imagine replacing the whole thing with any regular one would do. We’ll see what others have to say about it.
Is it leaking?

There are no threads to screw into.
There is only one union that will work.
If you can't get the correct union, there is not much you can do.

Probably time to switch to a variable speed pump.
I would not run the pump like it is as it might blow out at any time.

Thank you. Every time I look into variable speed it gets complicated and I just forget it. My cost of electricity at night in Arizona is pennies and I also have floor pop ups.
Maybe send the part out for copying at a 3d print shop.

If you can glue a coupling over the black part with a big disc in place, that might hold everything together, but it would be permanent.
Maybe a 2.5" deep coupling would work?

I would try to find a saddle clamp. Something that you can tighten (not excessively) around that the pipe that sits against the top of the union. You want to distribute the stress on those other 3 tabs. Not ideal, and it may only be temporary but would provide some safety.

Maybe something like this 
?
3 Inch V Band Clamp CNC Stainless Steel Flanges, 3in SS Vband, V-Band Flange Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08D77DL42/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_BXFRQ4ZZVCFP0DDHJQHF
Or even a large hose clamp?
Also call around to local pool places - they may still have one even though they are discontinued

thanks for finding this example. I searched HD and Lowes and all they had was regular lightweight clamps This is much better and agree, a pool store or a plumbing supply store may have similar products.Maybe something like this

Maybe you could create a tube around the entire part and then fill the tube with a strong pourable epoxy.
Maybe cut a piece of 3" or 4" PVC in half lengthwise and secure around the entire section with tape and then epoxy putty at the bottom to prevent leakage of the liquid epoxy.
Fill the tube with epoxy to lock everything in place.

I know exactly what you mean! You should still be able to get a single speed pump in Arizona, if not a two speed pump with a built in speed change switch.
After talking with several local pool companies, I am going with Pentair Intelliflow 2 HP Variable speed pump $1562.00 installed and the Pentair Intellicom for $450.00 which will integrate with my Jandy automation without changing it out. Hope I am making the right decision.
Why not get a Jandy 2.7 hp variable speed pump?
It's a bad idea to use a different manufacturer for the VS pump and the automation.

Hey Guys, looking to replace my 15 year old Hayward Northstar SP4015NS 1.5hp pump. Will the Intellflow work with my Jandy AquaLink RS automation. Is there anything else I should think about. Thank you
