I have a Tagelus TA100D sand filter with a TM-22 clamp on style valve attached to it. I need to replace the valve as the plastic is cracking. I've found the replacement valve on your site, but also what appears to be a generic one. The Pentair manufacturer part number for the valve is 261185. I see part number 4601-1185 on your site, can you tell me if this part will work for my filter and also what the difference is? Also, what kind of warranty does it come with? Thanks

If you currently have the TM-22 valve then you have the generic valve made by Praher. For a long time Praher made the valves for Pentair and now Pentair is making their own valves. We have both the Pentair OEM and the Praher replacement. The only difference is the Pentair OEM will have a Pentair label instead of a Praher label. The Pentair is also quite a bit higher cost. Both have a year warranty and both are made by Praher. The OEM is 4600-1185 which you may view or purc

I have a Pantera sand pool filter. I need a new valve. I know the filter is very old but can't find parts anywhere for a "pantera" filter. Did Pentair make Pantera, and will the valves work on a pantera if they did? I can't find the model number on the filter at all. On the valve handle says Sta-rite, but I don't know if that is a handle name of valve name. it is a 6 position sand filter with 2 inch hoses and clamped on. thanks.

Hi Scott, Your correct replacement valve for your Pantera filter will be part number (4708-0)

I have a Sand Dollar filter that I want to put 2" plumbing on. Will this valve fit that filter and would my old standup tube assy still fit?

Hi, Emily. This valve can only fit the SD80 sand filter, all the other model uses the 1-1/2" Top Mount Valve Flanged -262506. You can still use 2" plumbing but will have to use a reducer from 2" to 1-1/2" to the valve.

I have a Prayer tm 22 valve with 2 inch inlets and outlets. Will this model be an exact replacement 4600-1185?

Hi, Randy. The p/n 4600-1185 is an Inyo number for the Pentair Top Mount Valve - 261185. So if you currently have a filter that uses the Pentair 261185 valve, p/n 4600-1185 can be used to replace it.

i recently purchased a tagelus 100d and just naturally assumed that it would come with 2" ports, however, i see now that this valve also comes in 1 1/2" ports. Which one comes standard so that i know if I need to contact my seller and either cancel the order or have them replace the valve before shipping

Hi. The TA100D filter comes with a 1-1/2" mpv valve. I checked with Pentair and there is not a TA100D that comes with a 2" mpv valve.

Can you use the Pentair Sand Filter Valve MPV TM Clamp 2in, 261185 as a replacement for Pentai Tagelus 1.5 in Top Mount Multiport Valve with Clamp, 262506? I would like to upgrade all of my plumbing to 2" and this multiport valve seems like it would do the trick. The filter is a Tagelus T60

Yes, you can use the 261185 2" valve as a replacement that will get you to 2" plumbing.
