Pentair Tagelus® TA60 Piping Assembly With Hub and 1/4 Turn Lateral Replacement

The Pentair Tagelus® TA60 Piping Assembly With Hub and 1/4 Turn Lateral Replacement (part number 152233) is a comprehensive internal hydraulics package 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 integrated unit features a rigid vertical standpipe coupled to a heavy-duty lower collector hub, which is pre-fitted with a complete set of interlocking quarter-turn snap-on laterals. Its critical operational role is to anchor at the exact floor of the filter tank beneath up to 325 pounds of dense silica sand, where its precision-slotted laterals collect fully clarified water while blocking sand migration. The assembly then channels this high-velocity water upward through the central column to the top-mounted multiport backwash control valve. Designed to manage continuous internal hydraulic operating pressures up to 50 PSI and withstand intense water velocity shifts during routine backwash cycles, its reinforced polymer construction eliminates structural flexing and internal pressure bypass leaks. Because it combines an elongated, hollow vertical pipe with a dense multi-port lower lateral grid distribution manifold, the complete pre-assembled system carries an individual product and shipping weight of approximately 2.80 pounds (about 44.8 ounces).
