Key Features
- Complete top assembly for 2″ Hi-Flow multiport valve including handle, diverter, O-ring kit, and top cover.

Typical Applications
Use this assembly when servicing a Pentair Hi-Flow 2″ valve that is leaking around the top cover, handling is stiff or the diverter fails to index properly. Ideal for residential pool valve maintenance where repairing the valve top restores system reliability without full valve replacement.
Installation & Compatibility Notes
Before installing, shut off the pump, relieve all system pressure and isolate the plumbing. Loosen and remove the existing valve top cover and diverter components. Inspect the valve body for cracks or damage before proceeding. Install the new 272422 top assembly including the handle, washers, spring and O-rings. Confirm that the diverter selector rotates through all positions without binding. Reassemble plumbing and resume normal operation, verifying no leaks at startup.
Why Choose This Assembly?
Choosing the Pentair 272422 ensures you restore the valve’s original performance with OEM-engineered components. This approach reduces downtime, extends service life and avoids the expense of a full valve replacement. Especially for pool professionals or service technicians who want reliable parts and fit-for-purpose installation, this part delivers value and longevity.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the valve top and O-ring annually for signs of chemical wear, cracks or seal degradation.
- Lubricate O-rings lightly with pool-safe silicone lubricant during service to maintain seal life.
- If the valve handle becomes difficult to move or the diverter fails to fully index, replace the top assembly promptly to prevent internal damage.
- During winterizing, set the valve to the “winter” or “closed” position as recommended by manufacturer and protect from freezing conditions.
