Pentair 6-Position Top Mount Clamp Valve Top Assembly

The Pentair 6-Position Top Mount Clamp Valve Top Assembly (such as part number 272568Z) is a premium, factory-integrated replacement cap and indexing mechanism designed for multi-port selector valves on top-mount pool and spa sand filters, including the Sta-Rite and Tagelus lines. This complete top housing contains the signature heavy-duty spring, diverter assembly, and a multi-position control handle that allows operators to easily cycle the system through its six distinct hydraulic paths: Filter, Backwash, Rinse, Waste, Closed, and Recirculate. Molded from a high-density, UV-stabilized, and chemical-resistant polymer composite, it seals the upper valve body against high water pressures and harsh chemical environments, ensuring smooth manual shifting and precise internal water routing. Engineered to offer complete functional renewal without requiring a full plumbing tear-out, this robust yet highly manageable top assembly carries an operational and shipping weight of approximately 2.23 pounds (with a boxed shipping mass of up to 3.0 pounds).
