It measures 6-3\/4 inches inside diameter with a 1\/8 inch cross section.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it seals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe multiport valve is a body with a rotating diverter under a bolted cover. This o-ring goes between the body and that cover. It is the seal that keeps the whole valve from weeping around its rim once the bolts are torqued down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReading the leak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere water shows up tells you which seal has failed. Dripping from the joint around the top cover is this o-ring. Water running continuously to waste while the valve is set to filter is the spider gasket underneath, a different part. Get that distinction right before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the valve is open for any reason, replace this o-ring while you are in there. Lubricate it with a silicone pool lubricant, never a petroleum grease.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48626864849108,"sku":"PAC-051-2996","price":13.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_67bb2493-9253-4471-ac85-aa834ec1617a.png?v=1788716021","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/o-ring-valve-top-2","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
