Description
This ring sits where the valve meets the tank and ensures that the connection does not leak water. Wear shows up as moisture or drops around the valve. Original Mountfield item, designed for the Clear (2 m³/h) sand filtration.
Technical specifications
| Intended for | Clear filtration, 2 m³/h, sand |
|---|---|
| Product type | valve / tank O-ring |
| Brand | Mountfield |
| Item number | BWP6149 |
Compatibility
- Clear, 2 m³/h, sand filtration – code 3BTE0398
The same filter also uses the vessel O-ring, the prefilter lid gasket and the general seal of the Clear filter. Also take a look at the filter and equipment parts.
When to replace it
Every time you change the sand or put the filter away for winter, the valve is removed. This squashes the ring and over time it hardens, so it no longer seals as it should. With a new one in the groove, the seal is restored.
- O-ring seal
- for the valve – tank connection
- original size for the Clear filter
Why an original part
The dimensions, profile and soft rubber are matched to this model, so there is no need to try similar rings. This prevents leaks that would otherwise lead to a more expensive repair.
Maintenance
It is best to renew rubber rings before the season. When reassembling, moisten them with water or a drop of silicone grease for pools. Avoid mineral oils – they corrode the rubber. Store spare gaskets in the dark at room temperature. If neighbouring parts in the same assembly are also worn, replace them together.
How to make sure it fits
Look up the code of your unit (for example of the 3BTE type) and compare it with the compatibility above. If it matches, item BWP6149 is the right one. If you are unsure, send a photo of the old liner and the model.
Installation
First switch off the pump and release the pressure. Then unscrew the connection, remove the valve, take out the worn ring and clean the groove. Fit the new one, put the valve back and tighten. Finally, check for leaks.
