Know before you buy
No, this specific manifold retainer is engineered exclusively for the Pentair FNS 36 Diatomaceous Earth (DE) filter system. It is not designed to fit other filter models.
The rod measures 19 inches in length with a diameter of 15/16 inches (0.9375 inches). Please verify these measurements against your existing part before installation.
This is a genuine Pentair replacement part. Using original manufacturer components ensures the precise fit and material integrity required for your filter's internal assembly.
The manifold retainer is critical for keeping your DE filter grids properly aligned and secured. If the rod is compromised, it can lead to internal bypass, allowing DE powder or debris to return to your pool.
Installation is a direct-fit process and typically does not require specialized tools. However, you should ensure your filter system is powered off and depressurized before opening the tank to perform the replacement.
