This AppliaFit diverter with gasket is designed to fit Pentair 272512 and several other 1.5-inch 6-way Hi-Flow multiport valves, offering a heavy-duty alternative to worn factory parts. Installing a new diverter and gasket can stop leaks, eliminate valve binding, and help your pool system return to reliable performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know this diverter fits my Pentair multiport valve?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatibility is focused on Pentair 1.5-inch 6-way Hi-Flow models and several PacFab\/alternate part numbers.
