Product details
The Pentair 271096 is the bulkhead union kit for filters plumbed without a valve. It comes in white and includes two slip filter adapters, which is what makes up both connections at the tank.
Why a union kit
Unions are the difference between a filter that can be opened up for service and one that has to be cut out of the plumbing. On an installation that runs straight pipe into the filter, with no multiport or slide valve between them, this is the hardware that makes those connections and lets them be broken loose later.
Compatibility and sizing
Pentair lists the kit against the Triton II TR100C and TR140C sand filters, the Clean and Clear Plus cartridge filters and the FNS Plus DE filters. On size the source is not consistent: the kit is described as a 1-1/2 inch and 2 inch set in one place and as 2 inch in another. Measure the ports on your tank and confirm the size you need before ordering.
