Technical Specifications

Applications & Compatibility
This lid assembly is intended for use with top-mount multiport valves in sand filters and other pool filtration equipment with 2″ ports, such as the Pentair/Sta-Rite 263085 body. If the original lid is cracked, leaking or no longer holds the correct position, replacing it with the 272568Z ensures the valve continues to function reliably.
Installation Instructions
- Turn off pump and relieve pressure in the filter system before servicing.
- Remove the old multiport valve lid and diverter assembly from the valve body.
- Inspect the valve body for wear, clean sealing surfaces and drain any trapped water.
- Install the new 272568Z lid assembly, aligning the diverter shaft and securing it to the valve body.
- Tighten according to manufacturer guidance, restore circulation, and test each of the six positions for proper flow and seal.
Troubleshooting
- Valve leaks in certain positions: Check O-ring seating, ensure diverter shaft is aligned and that the lid is uniformly tightened.
- Handle slips or fails to hold position: Verify handle installation, inspect the indexing mechanism and confirm the diverter rod engages properly.
- Reduced flow during “Backwash” or “Waste”: Strong resistance may indicate internal debris or damage in the valve body; clean or service as needed.
Maintenance Tip
Inspect the valve lid, handle and O-rings annually as part of your pool maintenance routine. Replace when you observe cracks, chemical degradation or loose components. Always keep the diverter mechanism clean and lubricate O-rings lightly during re-installation to extend reliable service.
