Product details

The Pentair 152220Z is the sand filter drain with a 2 inch NPT left-hand threaded spigot, listed for the Triton II and Triton C-3 side mount sand filters. It is the genuine Pentair part.

Which model, exactly

The source information for this part is not consistent, so both readings are given. The product description names the Triton II and Triton C-3 models TR100, TR100C and TR100C-3. The part is also carried under the name sand drain kit for TR140 and TR140C. Compare the drain on your own tank to the part before ordering rather than assuming from the tank badge.

The left-hand thread

This spigot is left-hand threaded. That catches people out: turning it the way a normal fitting would go makes it feel seized, and enough force at that point cracks the boss on the tank. Turn it the other way and it moves.

Why it fails

A sand filter drain spends the season closed and gets asked to work once, at winterizing, usually in the cold. That is when the old one splits or refuses to seal again afterward. Replacing it is cheap insurance against a tank you cannot empty before a freeze.

Questions and answers

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

Does this fit a TR100 or a TR140?
The source lists both and does not agree with itself. The product description names the Triton II and Triton C-3 models TR100, TR100C and TR100C-3, while the part is also named as the sand drain kit for TR140 and TR140C. Check the drain on your tank against both before ordering.
Why is the thread left-handed?
Pentair uses a left-hand thread on this spigot. It means the fitting tightens counter to a normal pipe thread, and trying to turn it the usual way will feel like it is seized.
What size is the connection?
2 inch NPT.
When would I need this?
Usually at winterizing, when a drain that has sat untouched all season will not open or splits when it does. It is also the part to change if the tank weeps at the drain.
