Key features and installation notes for the Pentair 270068 Valve Top Replacement Kit:

• Function: Replaces the entire top portion of a push-pull valve, which houses the piston and seals that direct water flow for filter, backwash, rinse, and other operations.
• Common Reasons for Replacement: Worn or damaged piston seals causing internal or external leaks, cracked or broken handle, difficulty moving the piston up or down, or a damaged valve cap.
• Installation Tips:
  1. Safety First: Always turn OFF the pool pump at the circuit breaker and relieve ALL system pressure by opening the air relief valve on the filter BEFORE attempting to disassemble or repair the valve.
  2. Note the orientation of the old assembly before removal.
  3. Lubricate all new O-rings and seals with a pool-safe, silicone-based lubricant before installation to ensure a proper seal and smooth operation.
  4. Ensure the new assembly is correctly aligned and securely fastened to the valve body according to manufacturer instructions.
• Compatibility Check: This kit is designed for specific Pentair push-pull valve models. Always verify compatibility with your exact valve model number before ordering (e.g., check if it's for 1.5" or 2" valve sizes).
