Installation & Compatibility Notes
Before installing, shut off the pump and relieve system pressure. Remove the existing multiport valve, drain residual water, and ensure plumbing connections match the 2″ port size of this valve. Mount the 261050 valve securely to the filter tank, align the handle in a neutral position, connect the suction and return plumbing, and tighten any union or slip-fittings as required. After startup, rotate through each valve position and verify proper flow, leak-free connections and system operation.
Maintenance Tips
- During regular service, inspect the valve handle and position indicator for wear or loose movement.
- If you notice restricted flow, increased backwash pressure or inconsistent rinse cycles, the valve internal seals or diverter may need attention.
- Keep spare O-rings and the handle assembly on hand as common wear-items for quick field service.
