Pentair Handle for 1-1/2" and 2" Side Mount MultiPort Valve

The Pentair Handle for 1.5-inch and 2-inch Side-Mount Multiport Valves (Product #: 272520) is a factory-original OEM replacement lever engineered to provide smooth manual control and robust leverage over pool and spa backwash filtration networks. Specifically designed to fit onto the upper dome assembly of heavy-duty Pentair, PacFab, and Praher 1.5" and 2" side-mount six-position multiport valves—which are commonly paired with premium Triton® II sand filters and FNS® Plus or Quad D.E.® vertical grid separation tanks—this ergonomic lever acts as the primary external control mechanism for water routing. Injection-molded from a thick-walled, reinforced fiberglass-polypropylene composite matrix, the handle features a textured, contoured grip that allows operators to easily depress the internal high-tension stainless steel compression spring, lifting the internal diverter rotor to index between six distinct hydraulic modes: Filter, Backwash, Rinse, Waste, Closed, and Recirculate. This heavy-duty composition ensures permanent rustproofing and absolute immunity to aggressive pool sanitizing chemistry, advanced UV deterioration, and heavy structural torque without cracking or stripping the central pin slot. The physical dry weight of this single Pentair Multiport Valve Handle is approximately 0.38 pounds (roughly 6.08 ounces, with a nominal packaged shipping weight of 0.50 pounds), delivering an exceptionally rugged, reliable, and long-lasting replacement standard for flawless pool water management.
