Pentair 6.75" Triton® Air Vent Strainer Spacer

The Pentair 6.75" Triton® Air Vent Strainer Spacer (part number 154507) is a specialized internal component engineered exclusively for the internal air relief infrastructure of Pentair Triton and Triton C commercial series side-mount sand filtration systems, most notably the TR100C and TR140 configurations.

Injection-molded from a lightweight, high-impact, and chemically inert polymer compound, this cylindrical sleeve measures exactly 6.75 inches ($6-3/4"$) in length. Its primary operational role is to slide over and space the filter’s vertical internal air bleed tube inside the tank dome, aligning the high-flow air relief strainer at the optimal apex level of the upper sand bed chamber. By maintaining this precise component elevation, it ensures that trapped air pockets can be continuously and safely vented from the pressurized vessel during active filtration cycles, preventing air binding and maximizing hydraulic efficiency without letting fine silica sand or floating debris clog the internal relief lines.

Engineered to remain permanently submerged at the highest pressure point of the filter core, its robust plastic framework resists structural degradation, material warping, and corrosive breakdown from prolonged exposure to high-velocity water currents and concentrated pool sanitizers like chlorine, bromine, and winterizing chemical flushes. Due to its slender, hollow plastic structural profile, this individual air vent strainer spacer carries a nominal product and shipping weight of approximately 0.05 to 0.15 pounds (about 0.80 to 2.40 ounces).
