Common Questions & Instructions
Where does this left-handed drain spigot install on a sand filter?
This spigot threads directly into the lower drain port at the base of compatible 2-inch Pentair sand filter tanks to control winter draining and tank evacuation.
How often should the sand filter drain spigot be replaced?
Plan to inspect and replace this consumable piece every 1 to 2 seasons, or immediately if you notice thread rounding, hairline stress fractures, or dripping from the drain port.
