Product details
The Pentair 271106, also carried as G-160, is the sight glass gasket for a multiport valve. It is the seal that sits behind the clear sight glass in the valve body.
What it fixes
The sight glass is the window that lets you watch the water clear during a backwash. It seals against the valve body with a gasket, and that gasket flattens and hardens over years of pressure cycles. Once it does, the valve weeps at the glass every time the pump runs, which people often mistake for a cracked body.
One thing to check
Our sources describe the fitment two ways. The listing title calls this the M-Series gasket, while the product description gives it for the Hi-Flo 2 inch top mount and side mount 6 way multiport valve. Compare against the gasket you remove, or contact us before ordering if you are unsure.
