Sized for tanks in the 21- to 24-inch diameter range with a 1-1\/2\" center connection, it functions as the bottom collection and distribution point that keeps a media bed working evenly across its entire footprint. In a tank this size, the distributor is one of the most important parts you'll never see once the system is assembled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside a large filter or softener tank, the bottom distributor is what prevents channeling. As water moves down through carbon, softening resin, or specialty media, it needs to be drawn off uniformly across the full diameter of the tank; otherwise flow concentrates on one side, treatment capacity falls, breakthrough comes early, and the media wears unevenly. This bayonet-style hub locks securely into the tank's center column and spreads its laterals across the base, screening the media while delivering balanced flow. The structural design is purpose-built for the larger 21–24\" diameters, where a flimsy distributor would flex or fail under the weight and flow of a deep media bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 1-1\/2\" x 21\"–24\" treatment tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHub-and-lateral design for even bottom flow distribution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBayonet-lock mounting for secure center-column seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces channeling and extends media life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 1.18 lb structural component\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Pentair tank-division hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you're commissioning a new mid-size whole-house or light-commercial filter, rebedding an aging tank, or replacing a distributor that has cracked or fouled, matching the correct bayonet hub to your exact tank diameter is essential. When laying gravel or media underbedding, keep the lateral slots clear so the screen surface stays open to flow. The right distributor seats cleanly, screens the media reliably, and keeps service flow balanced so the entire bed contributes to treatment rather than just the portion the water happens to favor. A properly seated hub also makes future rebedding easier, since the laterals come up clean instead of being cemented in place by compacted fines. For installers working with Pentair structural tanks in the 21–24\" class, this bayonet distributor is the dependable foundation that a high-performing, long-lived media system is built upon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45668847091765,"sku":"SF5667","price":159.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/4950\/2261\/files\/sf5667.jpg?v=1782535514","url":"https:\/\/watersoftenerplus.com\/de-eu\/products\/structural-bajonet-dist-1-1-2x21-24-tnk","provider":"Water Softener Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
