The Pentair 98209800 is the genuine OEM High Flow Manual Air Relief Valve and Bleeder Assembly. Engineered for reliability, this complete kit is a direct drop-in replacement for Pentair FNS Plus D.E. filters, Clean & Clear Plus cartridge filters, and various Sta-Rite models—no modifications required. The assembly includes the manual relief valve, a pre-installed pressure gauge, and all necessary hardware for a quick, leak-free installation.
🚩 PRO TIP
If you notice water dripping from the nozzle while the pump is running, or feel suction after shutting the pump off, the valve assembly has failed and requires replacement. When installing, apply a light coat of silicone lubricant to the base threads and gasket, and use plumber’s tape on the gauge threads for a perfect seal. Do not overtighten—filter tank plastic can be brittle.
