Pentair 2" White Diverter Assembly

The Pentair 2" White Multiport Valve Diverter Assembly (Product #: 272512) is a factory-original OEM replacement internal core module engineered to manage high-capacity fluid routing within residential and commercial pool or spa sand and diatomaceous earth (D.E.) filtration networks. Specifically designed to drop into the heavy-duty housing of Pentair, PacFab, and Praher 2-inch top-mount and side-mount six-position multiport backwash valves—which are commonly paired with Triton® II sand filters and FNS® Plus or Quad D.E.® vertical grid separation tanks—this comprehensive rotor core acts as the internal traffic controller for the entire water loop. Precision injection-molded from a thick-walled, ultra-high-impact white engineering polymer composite, the assembly features an integrated central selector stem and a series of heavy-duty molded spokes designed to compress uniformly over the valve's internal rubber spider gasket. When the external manual lever handle is depressed and turned, this diverter rotates smoothly within the valve body, shifting the pressurized water column smoothly between six distinct operational channels (Filter, Backwash, Rinse, Waste, Closed, and Recirculate) to prevent fluid cross-contamination or chronic waste line weeping under continuous line pressures up to 50 PSI. The rugged polymer matrix offers absolute immunity to chemical degradation from high chlorine or bromine concentrations, salt-chlorine generation, and severe pump room thermal cycling without warping, cracking, or binding. The physical dry weight of this complete Pentair 2" White Diverter Assembly is approximately 1.15 pounds (with a nominal boxed shipping weight of roughly 1.50 pounds depending on retail carton cushioning), providing pool technicians and DIY homeowners with an essential, highly reliable hardware standard to restore peak hydraulic efficiency and maintain pristine pool water clarity.
