Product details

This is the Pentair 156344 upper inlet piping assembly, the genuine factory part for the Triton II TR100C and TR140C commercial side mount sand filters.

What it does

The upper inlet piping carries returning water into the top of the filter tank and spreads it out over the sand. When the piping cracks, splits or breaks free, water arrives in one concentrated stream instead. That channels a path straight down through the bed, so a large part of the sand never sees the flow and the filter stops clearing the water it used to.

Fitting it

This is an internal component, so the filter has to be shut down, isolated, drained and opened to reach it. It arrives as a complete assembly. On a commercial filter this is worth planning around a scheduled shutdown rather than an emergency one.

Questions and answers

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

Which filters does this fit?
The Pentair Triton II TR100C and TR140C commercial side mount sand filters.
Is this a genuine Pentair part?
Yes. It is the Pentair OEM upper inlet piping assembly, part number 156344.
What does the upper inlet piping do?
It carries incoming water into the top of the filter tank and spreads it across the sand bed. When it cracks or breaks, water drives straight down in one spot and the filter stops cleaning evenly.
Do I have to open the tank to fit it?
Yes. It is internal piping, so the filter has to be shut down, drained and opened to reach it.
