Pentair 2" TA60 Standpipe Assembly

The Pentair 2" TA60 Standpipe Assembly (part number 155268) is a specialized internal plumbing backbone engineered specifically for the 24-inch Pentair Tagelus TA60 top-mount pool and spa sand filtration system. Injection-molded from heavy-walled, high-impact PVC and ABS thermoplastic composites, this rigid center column functions as the primary vertical conduit for water circulation inside the pressurized sand tank. Its vital structural role is to connect the 2-inch top-mounted multiport backwash control valve directly to the lateral collector hub positioned at the very base of the filter shell, ensuring that high-velocity water is seamlessly transported through the core of the system without disrupting the surrounding media bed. Built to withstand continuous internal hydraulic pressures up to 50 PSI, intense backwashing flow reversals, and a relentless downward load from up to 325 pounds of dense silica sand or glass media, this assembly features reinforced joints to prevent cracking or internal pressure bypass leaks. Because it consists of a long, robust plastic pipe pre-fitted with heavy-duty 2-inch connection couplers, the complete center standpipe assembly carries an individual product and shipping weight of approximately 2.40 pounds (about 38.4 ounces).
