Product details
The Pentair 272512Z is the HiFlow diverter with gasket for PacFab 262506 and 261130 top mount valves. It is the genuine Pentair part, also listed as 272512.
The gasket is part of the piece
The 4 spoke gasket is molded into the bottom of the rotor. It cannot be bought on its own and it cannot be peeled off and replaced, so when the sealing face is worn the diverter goes in as a unit. That is worth knowing before you go looking for a separate spider gasket for this valve.
Measurements
Rotor 5-11/16 in. with a total height of 4-3/4 in. and a shaft diameter of 1-1/8 in. The gasket measures 5-5/16 in. outside diameter with a 1-7/16 in. center hole. Spoke thickness and outside ring thickness are both 1/8 in. side to side.
When to replace it
A worn diverter face lets water bypass inside the valve, so the pool level drops while the handle is set to filter, or the returns run weak on a backwash. Compare the measurements above against the old rotor to confirm you have the right valve before ordering.
