Description

The Pentair 178583 Air Bleed Assembly is a crucial small part that ensures your filter system remains primed and efficient. This replacement tube is engineered for ease-of-use: it installs directly into existing ports, restoring automatic air venting so you don’t have to manually purge air each time you backwash. The design maintains alignment and avoids flow disruption, letting your pump work at full capacity with minimal fuss.

Pro Tip

Lubricate O-rings and gauge fittings around the bleed port before reinstalling. Pair with Pentair 192320 O-Ring and a new air relief valve if the original parts show wear for best results.

Installation Tips

Always shut off pump and relieve pressure before removing the old bleed tube. Ensure all seals and O-rings are clean and lubricated. Insert tube gently without forcing; avoid bending or kinking the assembly.
