Designed as a direct-fit spacing ring for high-capacity Pentair and PacFab 2-inch Hi-Flow™ top-mount and side-mount six-position multiport backwash valves, this flat thrust washer fits securely over the central vertical diverter stem, resting between the high-tension compression spring and the internal plastic housing elements. Precision-stamped from an industrial-grade, heavy-gauge stainless steel alloy, the washer provides exceptional tensile strength and complete immunity to galvanic corrosion, rust oxidation, and aggressive pool sanitation chemicals like concentrated chlorine, bromine, and high salt levels. By isolating the rotating diverter stem from the stationary coil spring, this washer smoothly absorbs the heavy vertical downforce and rotational torque generated when a pool owner or technician depresses and turns the handle to select different filtration cycles, effectively preventing the spring from binding, grinding, or shaving down the internal composite plastics. Built to endure continuous system operating line pressures up to 50 PSI and handle extreme seasonal pump room heat, this component ensures the valve handle maintains a fluid, non-binding range of motion.
