Product details

The Pentair B4979BAN is a 1/2 inch bulkhead fitting for Pentair THS-Series horizontal pool and spa sand filters.

What it does

A bulkhead fitting seals the point where internal plumbing passes through the wall of the filter tank, keeping the connection watertight under pressure. On the THS-Series horizontal sand filter, this fitting completes the 1/2 inch connection at the tank.

Fit and compatibility

This fitting is sized specifically for Pentair THS-Series horizontal sand filters. Match the part number, B4979BAN, or the UPC, 788379723514, against the fitting currently installed before ordering, since Pentair filter tanks use more than one bulkhead size across different models.

When to replace it

Replace this fitting if it is cracked, warped, or leaking where it passes through the tank wall.

Before you order

The B4979BAN is sold individually as a single fitting, ready to install in place of a worn or damaged bulkhead connection.
