Product details
The Pentair 273513 is the rubber o-ring that seals the air bleeder screw. It is the genuine Pentair part.
What it seals
Every pressure filter needs a way to purge trapped air after the lid comes off, and that bleeder screw seals against this o-ring. It is a tiny part carrying the full working pressure of the filter at the highest point of the tank.
The symptom
A steady drip or a fine spray from the top of the filter after you close the bleeder. People chase the lid gasket and the clamp for weeks before looking at the bleeder o-ring, which is almost always the culprit when the leak is at the bleeder itself.
Fitment
Pentair lists it for FNS DE filters, Nautilus and Nautilus Plus DE filters, and Triton C and C-3 sand filters. It also appears in the Triton II TR40 through TR140 and the Triton II TR100C and TR140C sand filter parts listings.
