Works perfectly. Fits like it should. Review: Perfect Pentair replacement part - After 15 years, I managed to break my pool pump filter valve housing while tightening a new pressure gauge. Quite frankly, it was on its way out anyway, making a rattling noise constantly, and resisting changing the filter settings. So not really my fault, my Dear. But I digress. No amount of silicone would seal the crack in the old valve housing. So unless I wanted to replace my sand filter (open your wallet), I needed an exact replacement for the Pentair 6 way valve that I bought so many years ago. Could I find one? Was it obsolete? Would I need a complete new sand filter? This is an exact replacement. Although the original did not have a model number on it, I had the installation paperwork that identified my filter valve - and this one is it - what a relief... Plumbed it in yesterday (used unions this time so I can refresh my filter sand without cutting any PVC pipe) and it's working just perfectly. I used Plasto-Joint Stik for the tapered threaded joints - no leaks whatsoever So if you need to replace your Pentair 262506 - here it is P.S. my valve came with a pressure gauge and an O-ring - if you're encouraged to order these separately, it's probably not necessary... ## Features - Replacement 1.5-Inch Pentair Top Mount Multi-Port Valve - Designed for use on various Pentair and Pac-Fab sand filters - Used to easily switch between 6 filter functions - Compatible with Pentair Cristal Flo II, Sand Dollar, Meteor, and Tagelus sand filter series - Pentair Model: 262506 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001F6UNKK | | Best Sellers Rank | #59,599 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ( See Top 100 in Patio, Lawn & Garden ) #611 in Pool & Spa Replacement Parts | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,333) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 1 pounds | | Item model number | 262506 | | Manufacturer | Pentair | | Product Dimensions | 9 x 16 x 8.5 inches | ## Images ![262506 1-1/2- Inch 6-Way Clamp Style Valve Replacement Pool and Spa Sand Filter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61fm2EceDBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect replacement *by L***P on October 17, 2025* Our pool is about 9 years old and the old valve finally broke so we had to buy a new one.

Did some quick math and realized that for just about the same money as those replacement parts I could have a new valve. So I ordered this, it arrived in two days, installed in 5 minutes and I was back in business with no leaks. I decided to keep the old valve in case I need parts down the road. This is the exact replacement for my Sand Dollar filter. I did read another review about draining the sand filter prior to install, and I think that made all of the difference for my valve replacement activities. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pentair 262506 1-1/2-Inch 6-Way Clamp Style Valve Replacement Pool and Spa Sand Filter - Captain O-Ring Replacement 272541 O-Ring for Pentair Pool/Spa Filter and Valve (2 Pack) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/5797932-262506-1-1-2-inch-6-way-clamp-style-valve](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/5797932-262506-1-1-2-inch-6-way-clamp-style-valve) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
