Pentair263064 PVC Push Pull Slide Valve, 7 1/2 Inch Centerline, Almond, for D.E. and Sand Filters

That valve was an direct, upgraded replacement to the original. Much better design for future maintenance. Fairly easy to put in although working with 2" PVC is tough in tight spaces. Works great!

Fits perfect with my new filter. Quality product for the money. It was an easy instal with my filter. Definitely would recommend.

Perfect replacement for my old pool plumbing and much cheaper than buying from the pool store high quality very heavy easy to install and instructions

We had a small disaster with our pool plumbing during the last Texas cold snap, even though the pumps were running in our saltwater pool the water froze and then cracked two PVC lines. I went looking for a new backflow valve locally and they were priced from $195 to $300 dollars. I found this one on Amazon at $105 and took a chance. It fit perfectly, came with everything I needed to finish the job and get the pool filters back in service. The instructions were clear and concise and even had instructions on how to set the valve and plumbing up for the two different install options. Couldn't be more pleased with this purchase.

It fit and worked correctly.

This model has the screw on cap on the top to hold the piston in place. The older model had a cap held in place with two metal screws. That older model design is horribly flawed, as the plastic above the screws will eventually break off, and the piston will shoot out at high speed when that happens. I'm glad my face wasn't above it when that happened, as I could have been seriously injured. It came down on my neighbors roof and I never saw it again. THIS model has the screw on top, a much much better design. It was a perfect replacement for the old model I previously had. I deduct one star because when you rotate the top lever so you can move the piston up and down, it is very stiff and you can feel the plastic shaft twisting. I'm afraid that one day the shaft will break, and I'll have to cut this off and replace the entire mess again...but until then, it works perfectly. A little pvc primer and some glue and I had it installed and running, works great!

Quick shipping, well packaged. Just what I needed to replace my 30-year old filter valve.

Easy to install and fit exactly as it should. Back wash glass needs to be a couple of inches longer to make it easier to see.
