Note: the clamp is not included, so confirm clamp compatibility or order the correct clamp separately before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is the Pureline PL0700 a direct swap for Pentair model 262506?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes—PL0700 matches the Pentair 262506 multiport valve form and functions, but confirm your clamp type since the clamp is sold separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does this valve include a pressure gauge and sight glass?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes.
