Specifically engineered for use with Sta-Rite® 2-inch PVC slide valves (such as the multi-vessel configurations paired with System:3® series sand and D.E. filters), this injection-molded, heavy-duty link arm acts as the primary mechanical pivot bridge connecting the operator's manual push-pull handle to the internal piston shaft assembly. Manufactured from a premium, thick-walled engineering thermoplastic composite, the component provides exceptional structural rigidity to resist flexing under heavy physical pull forces while maintaining complete immunity to corrosive pool chemicals, high salt concentrations, and mineral scaling. The linkage is infused with advanced UV stabilizers to eliminate the risks of structural brittleness, warping, or cracking under constant outdoor weathering and high-temperature pump pad environments. By replacing a worn, bent, or fractured linkage, pool service technicians and homeowners can instantly resolve a sticky or binding valve handle, preventing critical backwash line water weeping or internal chamber fluid bypass caused by an incompletely seated piston. Built to take the brunt of repetitive cycling and maintain pivot-point stability under continuous system operating line pressures up to 50 PSI, this part ensures the equipment pad operates at peak hydraulic efficiency. The physical dry product weight of this standalone plastic lever handle linkage is approximately \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"1694\"\u003e0.15 pounds\u003c\/b\u003e (roughly 2.4 ounces, with a nominal packaged shipping weight of approximately 0.25 pounds), providing an incredibly strong, featherweight, and indispensable replacement hardware solution for flawless water circulation networks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Commercial Pool and Spa Supplies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53165497679983,"sku":"14930-0016Z","price":12.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/3785\/3807\/files\/14930-0014-img1_1__56049.jpg?v=1779896412","url":"https:\/\/commercialpoolandspasupplies.com\/products\/pentair-sta-rite%c2%ae-plastic-slide-valve-lever-handle-linkage","provider":"Commercial Pool and Spa Supplies ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
