Product details

The Pentair 229600 is the metal gamma head tool for the G4, G4V and G4VHP. It is the genuine Pentair part.

What it is for

The gamma head is not meant to be turned with whatever is in the tool bag. It has a specific engagement, and a purpose made tool sits on it properly so the load goes where the design intends rather than into the corner of a thread or the edge of a plastic casing. Pliers, screwdrivers and improvised levers are how those heads get marked, distorted and eventually replaced.

A note on the description

This part is listed in some places as a removal tool and in others as an installation tool. It is the same Pentair part number, 229600, and it serves the gamma head in both directions. If the exact wording matters for your service procedure, check it against Pentair documentation for your model.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

What does this tool fit?
The Pentair G4, G4V and G4VHP.
Is it a removal tool or an installation tool?
The product listing calls it a removal tool and the manufacturer description calls it an installation tool. It is the tool for the gamma head in both directions, but if the distinction matters for your job, confirm with Pentair before ordering.
Is it metal or plastic?
Metal.
Why not just use pliers?
Because the head and its threads are easy to mark or distort. A purpose made tool spreads the load and grips where it is meant to.
