Pentair Spacer For Triton C Sand Filter Model TR100C TR140C; 3 Inch

The Pentair Spacer for Triton C Sand Filter Models TR100C and TR140C (part number 154002 or 154002Z) is a specialized 3-inch internal alignment component engineered exclusively for high-capacity, commercial-grade fiberglass side-mount sand filtration systems. Injection-molded from a heavy-walled, high-impact, and chemical-resistant polymer composite, this rigid cylindrical sleeve positions itself securely over the internal plumbing or bulkhead connections within the pressurized filter tank. Its primary functional role is to provide precise structural spacing and physical reinforcement, preventing the inner piping array from shifting, vibrating, or buckling under the immense weight of hundreds of pounds of dense silica sand and heavy hydraulic water currents. By maintaining perfect alignment of the internal manifold components during standard filtration cycles and powerful flow reversals during backwash cycles, it ensures the system safely contains continuous operating pressures up to 50 PSI without developing stress fractures or causing water bypass. Designed to remain continuously submerged in highly chlorinated pool water, commercial bromine, and seasonal acid washes without warping or suffering structural breakdown, this durable fitting ensures a long equipment lifespan. Due to its compact, hollow, and streamlined plastic architecture, this individual 3-inch spacer carries a nominal product and shipping weight of approximately 0.36 pounds (about 5.8 ounces).
