Pentair Genuine OEM Brass Bleeder Valve$1899
Quick overview
- Solid brass The valve body is brass, which is what keeps a small threaded fitting serviceable after years on a filter tank.
- Bleeds trapped air Opening the bleeder lets air out of the tank so the filter fills and the system reaches normal pressure.
- Genuine Pentair Factory part 154662 rather than a generic petcock of uncertain thread.
- Common service item The bleeder is opened on every filter clean and is often the first fitting on the tank to seize or weep.
- Small part, real symptom A bleeder that will not seal shows up as a wet filter top and a pressure reading that never settles.
- Check the listing against your tank Our source associates this valve with more than one Pentair filter family, so match it to the fitting on your tank.

Product details
The Pentair 154662 is the brass bleeder valve that sits on top of a sand filter tank. It is the genuine Pentair part.
What it does
Air collects in the top of a filter tank, most obviously after the filter has been opened for a clean or after the system has been drained. The bleeder is the valve you open to let that air out so the tank fills with water and the pressure gauge gives a reading you can trust. Because it is opened on every service, it is one of the first fittings on the tank to seize, strip or weep, and brass is what makes it worth replacing rather than working around.
Read this before you order
Our source describes the fitment of this valve three different ways: under Pentair PF stainless steel side mount sand filters, on the Triton II TR40 through TR140 parts listing, and in its own text as the bleeder for SEP 48, 72, 96 and 144. We have carried all three rather than pick one. Compare the valve against the threaded port on your own filter, or contact us with your filter model and we will confirm it.
