Product details
The Pentair Rainbow R172060Z is the control valve for Rainbow automatic chemical feeders, with a 1/4 in. NPT connection on one side and a compression fitting on the tube side. The compression nut is included.
What it controls
A Rainbow feeder holds sanitizer solution and lets it bleed into the plumbing. The control valve is what sets the rate. Open it further and the pool gets more, close it down and it gets less, so this small valve is the whole adjustment on the feeder.
