Pentair 272568Z Multiport Valve Top Assembly | 6 Position
Pentair 272568Z Multiport Valve Top Assembly | 6 Position
Repair your worn or broken multiport valve top with the Pentair 272568Z Multiport Valve Top Assembly. If your sand filter's multiport valve is dripping at high RPM, the O-ring seal on the valve top is usually the culprit. The Pentair 272568Z replaces that entire top assembly rather than the O-ring alone.
What Does The Pentair 272568Z Multiport Valve Top Assembly Do?
The Multiport Valve Top Assembly replaces the valve handle. The valve handle controls switching between 6 different modes: filter, backwash, rinse, waste, recirculate, and closed. It also provides a perfect seal for the top of your multiport valve with the installed internal drive shaft O-Rings and spider gasket.

How do Pentair OEM pool products compare to Non-OEM Pentair pool products?
Pentair OEM pool products meet exact Pentair specifications. As a result, they provide reliable fit and consistent performance. Additionally, materials and quality control meet Pentair standards for offering dependable and lasting products.
Non-OEM products cost less and material quality and manufacturing precision vary. Furthermore, these generic products may not always be compatible with Pentair. Additionally, the lifespan and performance may be reduced. Overall, OEM components deliver quality, while non-OEM products, deliver uncertainty.
Pro Tips: Pentair 272568Z Multiport Valve Top Assembly
- If you notice your multiport valve is leaking at the handle, not easily changing position, or does not lock in position then replacement will be needed.
- If the valve body or housing is still in good condition. Then you do not need to replace the whole valve, instead use the Pentair 272568Z to replace the valve top assembly only.
- When installing it is important to not run the pump when working on or changing positions on your multiport valve. Turn the pump off and relieve the filter of pressure.
- Do not apply lube to the spider gasket it will collect sand and damage it. While installing the valve top hand tightening is suggested at first to avoid damaging the valve.
- We suggest to not tighten each bolt down at once and tighten them in even increments. This will make sure that the spider gasket is evenly compressed and not damaged.
- While the pump is still off and you are done installing, turn it to the rinse position. Now you can turn the pump back on when the multiport valve top assembly is installed or positions have been moved. Run the pump for 30 to 60 seconds and this will clean out any debris and test out the newly installed valve top for leaks.
