Laterals distribute water evenly through the sand bed during filtering and backwashing; a cracked or broken lateral lets sand pass into the pool and clouds the water, and this precision-molded replacement restores proper flow and filtration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🚩 PRO TIP: A TR140 uses eight laterals, and they age together — if one has cracked, inspect all eight while the filter is open and replace any with split slots or worn threads. The 154540Z is sold individually, so order the quantity your inspection calls for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePRODUCT FEATURES \u0026amp; SPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Pentair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMPN: 154540Z\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 788379885526\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Filter Lateral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 12 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLateral Diameter: 1-5\/8 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection: 1-1\/4 in MPT (male pipe thread)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Chemical-resistant plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantity Required: 8 per filter (sold individually)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: Pentair Triton II TR140, Triton TR140C, and Triton TR140C-3 sand filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross-Reference: 154540, 4600-4540\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Pentair 154540Z lateral fit my filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Pentair 154540Z fits Pentair Triton II TR140, Triton TR140C, and Triton TR140C-3 sand filters.

The 154540Z is sold individually, so order eight for a full set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is sand getting into my pool?\u003c\/strong\u003e Sand in the pool, or cloudy water that backwashing does not clear, is the classic sign of a cracked or broken lateral. Replacing the damaged lateral — the Pentair 154540Z on TR140 filters — restores the sand bed's filtering and stops sand from passing into the return lines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 154540Z the same part as the 154540?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The Pentair 154540Z is the same 12 in Triton TR140 lateral that Pentair's Triton parts diagrams list as 154540, and it also cross-references catalog number 4600-4540.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWHY SHOP WITH AL'S COOL POOL STORE?:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Fast, reliable shipping on every order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Genuine OEM and top-brand parts only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Knowledgeable pool \u0026amp; spa experts ready to help\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✅ Hassle-free returns and satisfaction guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651084673159,"sku":"154540Z","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/1217\/4983\/files\/pentair-154540z-triton-tr140-filter-lateral-complete.jpg?v=1793271018","url":"https:\/\/alscoolpoolstore.com\/products\/pentair-154540z-triton-tr140-filter-lateral","provider":"Al's Cool Pool Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
