Pentair 263064 Slide Valve – 2″ PVC Push/Pull, 7½″ Centerline
Part # 263064 — a durable push-pull slide valve for use with select Sand or D.E. filters featuring a 7.5″ centerline. This valve manages flow direction between service and backwash modes, providing reliable performance in residential pool systems.
Key Features
- 7½″ centerline spacing simplifies replacement in filter systems designed for this standard dimension.
- 2″ port size accommodates larger flow volumes common in modern pool equipment setups.
- Almond-colored PVC construction offers corrosion resistance in aggressive pool water environments.
- Push-pull operation makes mode switching simple and quick for service technicians or homeowners.
- Compatible with existing unions or plumbing making it easier to retrofit older systems.
Typical Applications
This valve is ideally used on mid to large residential pool filtration systems (sand or D.E.), especially when upgrading plumbing or servicing the valve assembly. It is suitable when the existing slide or multiport valve is leaking, stiff, or otherwise failing to manage backwash and normal filter positions.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Before installation, ensure the pump is turned off and system pressure relieved. Remove the existing valve, clean and inspect the union connections and plumbing alignment. Verify the system plumbing matches the 7½″ centerline spacing and that the replacement can be mounted without strain. Install the new 263064 slide valve using proper sealing methods, then test the valve’s operation through both service and backwash positions and confirm no leaks at the unions or ports.
Why Choose This Valve?
Selecting the Pentair 263064 provides a trusted, industry-recognized solution for valve replacement or upgrade. Its correct fit, durable materials, and service-friendly design reduce downtime and help maintain filtration system performance and lifespan.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the valve annually for wear, cracks or leaking union connections.
- Cycle the valve occasionally during off-season to ensure smooth movement and prevent sticking.
- Keep replacement O-ring kits on hand, as routine wear items—such as O-rings—extend valve service life.
- When plumbing changes or filter replacement occurs, re-verify plumbing alignment to preserve the 7½″ centerline and port size compatibility.
