Great Fit
It is an exact replacement. For those that say they crack when installed this part is a tool less installation. All you need is Teflon tape and your hands. You don't need to get on there with both feet. It adjusts smoothly and better than the original that was installed.

Our dial broke, and luckily, this is the exact replacement. Easy swap out.

I Got a Bad One
Despite not over-tightening this control valve, it cracked, ruining it. I maintain the plastic used to make it was defective and I ended up buying an off-brand that worked perfectly fine. Being threaded on the inside made the break even more puzzling - having worked on my pool and doing all the plumbing myself for 25 years. My experience may have been a one-off, but nobody stood behind this product - not the seller, nor Pentair as I replaced it with an off-brand that is working perfectly fine without any leaks.

Exact Replacement for my Rainbow Chlorinator
Not much to say…. It’s the identical flow valve that originally came on my Rainbow chlorinator. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because of the price. The price seemed excessive for a product like this.

Works great
This replaced the original, probably 30 years old. The old one was hard to turn and I was worried there wasn’t enough flow. The new one is great. Turns easily. I’m now running it at a lower level. Easily replaced the old one.

Good valve but the problem might be the check valve too
I bought this item because I could not stop the flow of water into the in-line chlorine feeder even when I turned it to 0. I replaced the valve and I still couldn’t stop the water by shutting off the valve. There is a check valve (Pentair R172248) under the plastic screen at the bottom of the feeder. I replaced that check valve and the plastic screen (Pentair R172255) and now it works perfectly. My original shut-off valve was probably still working but this one is working good now. There is also a screw in the bottom of the feeder under the valve that needs to be loosened before unscrewing the feeder body.
