- For the 263064 push pull valve Listed specifically for that slide valve, so match the number on your valve body.
- The part that usually breaks first The handle takes all the leverage on a stiff valve, and it lets go long before the valve body does.
- Restores backwash control Without a handle you cannot lift the valve into backwash, so the filter never gets cleaned.
- Handle only The stem, the seals and the valve body are separate parts.
- A stiff valve is a warning If the old handle broke because the valve was hard to pull, service the seals as well or the new handle will follow it.

Product details
Pentair 270134 is the replacement handle for the 263064 push pull backwash slide valve. It is the genuine Pentair part.
Why the handle goes first
Everything you do to a push pull valve goes through the handle. It carries all the leverage each time the valve is pulled into backwash and pushed back to filter, and on a valve that has grown stiff that load is considerable. The handle cracks or pulls off the stem long before anything in the valve body wears out, and at that point you have a filter you cannot backwash.
Fix the cause too
If the old handle failed on a valve that took real force to move, the handle was the symptom. Dry or scored seals inside the valve are what made it stiff, and a fresh handle on an unserviced valve tends to break the same way in the same season. This listing is the handle alone, so the stem, the seals and the valve body come from separate part numbers.
