Product details

The Pentair R172061 is the elbow check valve for the Rainbow chemical feeders, models 300, 302, 300-19 and 300-29. It is the genuine Pentair part.

What it does

The check valve is built into an elbow, so it turns the line and controls the direction of flow in the same fitting. Flow goes one way and is blocked from coming back, which is what keeps feeder solution in the plumbing it belongs in.

When to replace it

Chemical feeders are a hard environment for small plastic parts. A check valve that is cracked, distorted or no longer seating should be changed, and since it is an inexpensive piece it is worth doing while the feeder is already open for other service.
