VALVE-COMM, 4IN SIDE MT , LAMINATED

The Hayward Valve-Comm 4-Inch Side Mount for Laminated filters is a heavy-duty, commercial-grade hydraulic control component designed to manage the water flow for large-scale filtration systems. Constructed from robust, corrosion-resistant materials, this valve is engineered to withstand the high-flow rates and significant pressures associated with commercial pool environments. Its primary mechanical function is to facilitate the multi-port operations necessary for system maintenance, including filtration, backwashing, and rinsing, by redirecting water through the laminated filter's internal lateral system. The 4-inch plumbing interface is designed to minimize friction loss, ensuring that the pump operates at peak efficiency even in high-volume applications. Its flanged side-mount configuration provides a stable, leak-proof connection to the filter tank, utilizing industrial-strength gaskets and specialized internal diverters to maintain airtight integrity. For shipping and logistical purposes, the estimated weight of the VALVE-COMM 4IN SIDE MT, LAMINATED is approximately 62.5 pounds in its retail protective packaging, while the actual dry weight of the individual valve assembly is roughly 54.0 pounds.
