Injection-molded from heavy-walled, chemically inert ABS thermoplastic polymer, this specialized slotted lateral branch measures approximately 5.75 to 6.25 inches in length. Its primary operational role is to connect radially into the bottom center collector hub via a quick-turn twist-lock mechanism, forming an expansive grid matrix that spans the floor of the filter tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eDuring the pool's standard filtration cycle, these fine, precision-slotted pores allow clean, filtered water to seamlessly pass into the plumbing network while creating an absolute physical barrier that blocks dense silica sand media from escaping back into the pool. Conversely, during high-velocity backwash cycles, the lateral evenly distributes inverted hydraulic flow to cleanly lift and flush trapped organic debris from the sand bed. This robust architecture ensures the internal core can manage high fluid velocities and safely sustain continuous internal system operating pressures up to 50 PSI without cracking, unseating, or experiencing media bypass under sudden pump vibration surges. Built for a lifetime of permanent submersion beneath hundreds of pounds of dense sand in a highly treated chemical environment, its durable framework completely resists degradation from concentrated pool sanitizers like chlorine, bromine, and winterizing acid flushes. Due to its rigid, hollow, slotted structural geometry, an individual lateral replacement unit carries a net product and shipping weight of approximately \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"1120\"\u003e0.15 to 0.25 pounds\u003c\/b\u003e (about 2.4 to 4.0 ounces), while a complete pre-assembled collector matrix hub assembly carries a weight of approximately \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"1262\"\u003e2.50 to 3.50 pounds\u003c\/b\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Commercial Pool and Spa Supplies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53403888582767,"sku":"24901-0003","price":24.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/3785\/3807\/files\/249010003-lateralassemblyfilter-front.png?v=1782401265","url":"https:\/\/commercialpoolandspasupplies.com\/products\/pentair-25-s8s70-filter-lateral-assembly","provider":"Commercial Pool and Spa Supplies ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
