Pentair 1.5" Multiport Valve Top (272531)

The Pentair 272531 is a genuine OEM complete top assembly replacement designed for Pentair 1.5-inch HiFlow™ multiport valves. This comprehensive assembly includes the valve cover, handle, diverter (rotor), and associated seals, allowing for a full refresh of the valve's upper working components. If your current multiport valve is leaking, difficult to turn, or not directing water flow correctly, this top assembly can restore its performance and ensure your pool or spa filtration system operates effectively.

Why You’ll Love It

• Genuine Pentair Part: Ensures perfect compatibility, optimal sealing, and reliable performance for your 1.5" HiFlow™ valve.
• Complete Top Rebuild: Replaces all critical upper valve components in one go, addressing common wear and tear issues.
• Restores Valve Performance: Solves problems like leaks from the handle or waste port, improper water diversion, and stiff handle operation.

• Cost-Effective Repair: A more economical solution than replacing the entire multiport valve body if only the top components are faulty.

Key features and installation notes for the Pentair 272531 Valve Top Assembly:

• Function: This assembly contains the diverter (rotor seal or spider gasket) that directs water flow for various filter operations (Filter, Backwash, Rinse, Waste, Recirculate, Closed). The handle controls the position of this diverter.
• Common Reasons for Replacement: Worn or damaged diverter gasket leading to leaks between ports (e.g., water going to waste while in filter mode); leaks from the handle stem O-rings; cracked valve cover; or a broken handle.
• Installation Tips:
  1. Safety First: ALWAYS turn OFF the pool pump at the circuit breaker and relieve ALL system pressure by opening the air relief valve on the filter BEFORE attempting to disassemble or replace any valve components.
  2. Note the orientation of the old top assembly before removal to ensure correct alignment of the new one.
  3. Lubricate all O-rings (cover O-ring, stem O-rings) with a pool-safe, silicone-based lubricant before installation.
  4. Ensure the new diverter gasket is clean and properly seated.
  5. Secure the top assembly to the valve body evenly and firmly, following any specific torque or tightening sequence recommended by Pentair for your valve model. Do not over-tighten screws/bolts.
• Compatibility Check: This top assembly is specifically for 1.5-inch Pentair HiFlow™ multiport valves. Verify your existing valve model number (often found on a label on the valve body) before ordering to ensure correct fitment.
