The Genuine Pentair Triton Sand Filter Lateral Tube R302404 is a high-quality replacement component designed to ensure efficient water flow, proper filtration, and long-term reliability in your Pentair Triton or Triton II 24” sand filter. Laterals play a crucial role inside the filter, distributing water evenly through the media and preventing sand or glass media from escaping into the pool. When a lateral becomes cracked, blocked, or damaged, filtration performance can drop significantly — making replacement essential for maintaining clean, clear pool water.
This genuine Pentair lateral tube features a durable twist-lock fitting for secure installation and dependable operation. With a tube diameter of 160 x 35mm, it provides the correct fit for Triton and Triton II 24-inch sand filters, ensuring perfect compatibility and optimal water distribution. Suitable for use with both traditional silica sand and modern glass filter media, this Pentair lateral supports excellent filtration performance season after season.
Using genuine Pentair replacement parts guarantees proper fit, long-term durability, and trouble-free filtration without the risks associated with cheaper aftermarket alternatives.
