Bzumperyz R172086 Control Valve for Rainbow Inline Feeder 1/2-inch FPT

Upgrade your pool chemistry control with the Bzumperyz R172086 valve

This upgraded control valve is designed to fit Rainbow inline chemical feeders and help your system deliver consistent chemistry to your pool or spa. Built for 1/2-inch FPT connections, it aims to provide steady water flow to the feeder so chlorine or bromine can be dosed more predictably. While real world results depend on your setup, the valve is engineered to work as a reliable upgrade component, reducing the risk of leaks and uneven dosing.

Compatibility and fitment are at the core of this part. The R172086 valve is specified for Rainbow inline feeders Model 320 and 322, and it can also work with Model 300-29X feeders. Some users report it functioning as a replacement for certain three way blend manifolds used in soft wash proportioner configurations. Before swapping parts, compare your current valve size and connector type to ensure a proper match.

• Rainbow inline feeder models 320 and 322
• Model 300-29X automatic chemical feeders
• Potential replacement for some three way blend manifolds

Material and durability are central to this valve’s design. The unit uses thick, corrosion resistant plastic that stands up to outdoor pool environments, while the 1/2 inch FPT threading simplifies installation and helps create a sealed, leak resistant connection. This combination is aimed at maintaining a balanced flow and prolonging the life of your feeder system, even in exposed outdoor areas.

• Corrosion resistant construction for outdoor use
• Thick plastic body designed to last
• Precise 1/2 inch FPT sizing for straightforward installation
• Leak prevention through controlled metering and secure threading

Plain language care notes: avoid overtightening the valve, as excessive torque can lead to cracking. If needed, sealing can be enhanced with waterproof tape or teflon tape to improve the seal. The installation approach is to tighten by hand and then apply a small final turn, ensuring a snug fit without over-stressing the connection.

• Do not overtighten to prevent cracks
• Seal connections with teflon or waterproof tape
• Install by hand, then apply a light final turn

Warranty and service are part of the offering, with a 30 day full refund window and a 12 month warranty from the date of purchase. This structure provides you time to evaluate performance in your setup and seek help if needed, helping you feel confident in your choice as seasons change.

In practical terms, this valve can be a straightforward upgrade for maintaining water balance and clarity in warm months, while providing a safeguard against common valve failures. It is not a guarantee of specific results, but it is designed to support reliable operation and easier maintenance of Rainbow feeder systems.
