Pentair Adapter Flange For Triton C-3 Sand Filter; 3 Inch

The Pentair 3" Adapter Flange for Triton C-3 Sand Filters (part number 154001 or 154001Z) is a specialized, commercial-grade plumbing manifold fitting engineered exclusively for the high-volume side-port connections of Pentair Triton II commercial series sand filters, specifically the heavy-duty TR100C-3 and TR140C-3 models. Injection-molded from a thick-walled, glass-reinforced engineering polymer composite, this 3-inch adapter flange features a precision-drilled bolt ring configuration. Its primary structural role is to establish a secure, unyielding mechanical bridge that transitions the filter's side-shell ports to the large-diameter 3-inch external plumbing or multiport backwash valves.

When securely bolted down to the tank using the corresponding hardware and a high-gauge elastomeric sealing O-ring, it creates an absolute watertight and airtight compression boundary. This heavy-duty interface allows the high-capacity commercial vessel to safely handle massive fluid circulation velocities and sustain continuous internal hydraulic operating parameters up to 50 PSI without weeping, experiencing localized thread stress, or risking connection failure under sudden pump vibration surges. Engineered to survive the demanding environments of commercial equipment pads, its robust composite architecture completely resists material deformation, stress cracking, and corrosive breakdown from exposure to intense UV weathering, high ambient temperatures, and concentrated pool sanitizers like chlorine, bromine, or acid flushes. Due to its wide-diameter, thick-rimmed solid plastic construction built to manage high commercial flow rates, this individual adapter flange carries a net product and shipping weight of approximately 0.50 to 0.60 pounds (about 8.0 to 9.6 ounces).
