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.

Which feeders

Listed for the Rainbow 300, 302, 300-19 and 300-29 chemical feeders.

Part numbering

The valve appears as R172060Z in the catalog listing and as R172060 in the manufacturer description. Both point at this part, so do not be put off if your parts list shows the shorter number.
