Product details
The Pentair 261186 is a 1-1/2" top-mount valve in clamp style, sold as the replacement for the Sta-Rite WC112-148 valve. The clamp and the valve to filter O-ring are supplied with it, so the two pieces most often lost or perished on an old install come in the box.
What it fits
It is listed for the Cristal-Flo T-BP Series high rate sand filters: the T-150BP1 15 inch, the T-170BP1 17 inch, the T-200BP1 20 inch and the T-240BP1 24 inch. Top-mount means the valve sits on the tank rather than off to the side, so the ports and the handle stay in reach when the filter is serviced.
Before you order
The manufacturer changed the design of this valve, and re-plumbing is necessary when it replaces the original. Treat the job as a small plumbing project rather than a straight swap: measure what runs into and out of the old valve, and have fittings on hand before the filter comes apart.
