Generic 1/4" Push-in Fitting Valve Head for Pentair Everpure & Generic Filters

The Generic 1/4" Push-in Fitting Valve Head is engineered for durability and efficiency.

This valve head is designed to be compatible with both the original Pentair Everpure Cartridges, as well as the Generic Alternatives to the Everpure Cartridges.

**Please note, however, that unlike the Pentair Original QL3B Valve head, the generic does not include a built-in shut-off valve to halt water flow through the valve head, when replacing the filter cartridge. It is recommended that you install a separate inline valve to shut off the water before the valve head, in order to replace the filter cartridge.
