Pentair Rainbow Hose Bib / Drain Valve w/ T-Handle, 1/2" PVC | R175009

The Pentair Rainbow R175009 is a 1/2" PVC hose bib (drain valve) with a T-handle used on Pentair Rainbow High Capacity automatic chemical feeders. This valve is typically used to drain the feeder body for service or winterization and to help manage water flow during maintenance. Replacing a cracked valve body or worn threads helps prevent leaks and makes feeder servicing easier and cleaner.

Compatibility

  • Pentair Rainbow High Capacity Automatic Chemical Feeders: HC-3315, HC-3330, HC-3340
  • Used where the parts list calls for the R175009 hose bib / drain valve

Key Features

  • 1/2" PVC drain valve / hose bib for feeder draining and service work
  • T-handle for easier grip and valve operation
  • Direct replacement for leaking, cracked, or hard-to-turn drain valves
  • Helps reduce leaks at the feeder drain point when threads or body are damaged

  • Size: 1/2"
  • Material: PVC

Common Reasons to Replace

  • Water dripping or leaking from the valve body or threaded connection
  • Cracked PVC from freeze damage or over-tightening
  • Valve is difficult to turn or no longer shuts off reliably
  • Stripped threads causing poor seal at the feeder drain port

Installation Notes

  • Shut off the pump and relieve pressure from the system before servicing the feeder.
  • Drain the feeder as needed and remove the old valve.
  • Use thread sealant suitable for plastic threads (avoid over-wrapping tape that can split PVC fittings).
  • Hand-tighten and then snug slightly—do not over-tighten.
  • Restore flow and check carefully for leaks at operating pressure.

Maintenance Tips

  • Operate the drain valve periodically during the season to prevent it from sticking.
  • When winterizing, fully drain the feeder and valve area to reduce freeze damage risk.
  • If you notice minor seepage, address it early—small leaks can worsen and lead to feeder housing damage over time.
