Description

Praher TM-12-L ABS Clamp-Down Top Mount Multiport Valve For Sta-Rite Crysal-Flo(TM) Filter; 1-1/2 Inch, 8.25 Inch Clamp Flange

The TM-12-L is a multiport valve assembly manufactured by Praher Plastics, widely used in pool sand filter systems. It’s designed to control the direction of water flow through your filter by selecting among several operating modes—such as filtering, backwash, rinse, recirculate, and waste—ensuring that your pool’s filtration system works efficiently.

Key Details

  • Type & Application: The TM-12-L is a top-mount multiport valve assembly, typically configured for a 6-position operation. It’s used on pool filters like Sta‑Rite Cristal‑Flo, Waterway Smartclean, and Baker Hydro III among others, where its role is to automatically redirect water through the filter media during different cleaning cycles.

  • Design & Construction:

    • Material: Constructed using durable plastics engineered to withstand constant exposure to water and chemicals.

    • Mounting: The assembly is designed for top-mount installation, which makes it easier to integrate into existing filter systems.

    • Connections: It usually features a 1.5‑inch threaded inlet connection along with a flange for secure retention. This precise design helps ensure a leak‑free seal and proper water routing.

  • Model Information: Praher’s TM-12-L is sometimes referenced by its catalog number (e.g., Catalog Part Number: 4770‑01) and is offered as a replacement part when the original valve assembly is worn or damaged in sand filter systems.

Benefits

  • Improved Filter Performance: Replacing a worn multiport valve with a Praher TM-12-L can help restore optimal water flow and proper filter cycling, which is critical for maintaining clear, clean pool water.

  • Cost-Effective Maintenance: Instead of replacing an entire filter system, simply replacing the valve assembly can extend the life of your current equipment, keeping maintenance costs in check.

  • Easy Installation: Due to its standardized design, the TM-12-L can often be swapped into place without major modifications, making it a popular choice among pool service professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.
