It is the replacement for the Pentair 262506 valve on Tagelus D style sand filters, covering the TA40D, TA50D and TA60D.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the multiport does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe multiport is the control center of a sand filter. Every position on the handle routes water differently: filter, backwash, rinse, waste, recirculate and closed. Everything you do to maintain a sand filter goes through this one valve, which is why it takes more wear than anything else on the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSigns the valve is done\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater at the waste line while the valve is set to filter, a handle that will not index into position cleanly, weeping around the shaft, or a hairline crack in the body all point at the valve rather than the filter. A spider gasket can be replaced on its own, but once the diverter and the body have worn against each other the leak paths do not close up again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore ordering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm your filter is one of the Tagelus D models listed and that your plumbing is 1-1\/2 in. Check whether your tank uses the clamp style connection, since that is what this valve is built for.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CMP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633765134548,"sku":"CMP-27502-154-000","price":127.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/27502-154-000.jpg?v=1788814757","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/tm-valve-1-5-262506-27502-154-000","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
