Description
This Pentair distributor tubing measures 32 mm in diameter by 72 inches long and is configured for use with 7000-series control valves. The distributor tube, sometimes called a riser, runs down the center of a mineral tank and carries treated water up from the lower distributor while keeping the media bed in place during both service and backwash. It is a foundational internal component in any softener or backwashing filter built around this valve and tank combination.
An Essential Internal Component
During the service run, water flows down through the media and up the distributor tube to the valve and out to the home. During backwash, flow reverses to lift and rinse the media bed. A correctly sized riser is critical to both directions of flow, and just as importantly, it works with the lower distributor to keep resin or filter media from escaping into household plumbing. Note that this version ships without a basket, making it the right choice when you are reusing an existing lower distributor or fitting a separate strainer to the bottom of the tube.

The 32 mm diameter and 72-inch length are matched to the geometry of tall mineral tanks paired with 7000-series valves, ensuring proper fit and clearance within the tank assembly. A cracked, undersized, or improperly fitted riser can allow media to migrate into the home's plumbing, fouling fixtures and appliances, so choosing the correct Pentair tube for your specific tank and valve combination is important. Whether you are building a new tank, replacing media, or repairing an existing system, this distributor tubing provides the clean, reliable central flow path that dependable softener and filter operation depends on. Choosing the correct genuine Pentair riser for your specific build is a small detail that pays off in clean operation and protection against the costly nuisance of media migrating into household plumbing. Whether you are building a fresh tank or rebuilding an existing one, this genuine Pentair riser delivers the reliable central flow path a 7000-series system depends on.
