Product details
This is the Pentair 152168Z, the M6 x 30mm stainless steel screw used on Pentair multiport valves. It is the genuine factory fastener, not a generic equivalent.
Where it goes
The screw is listed against the 1-1/2 inch and 2 inch top mount and side mount multiport valves, including the 501130, 501131 and 501231 models. Several are used per valve, so if one is corroded the rest usually are too.
Why stainless matters here
These screws live in a wet, chlorinated fitting and sit undisturbed for years. A plated screw rusts in place and rounds off the moment you try to service the valve. Replacing them with the correct stainless part keeps the valve serviceable next time.
