Built to original Pentair OEM specifications, this gasket provides even compression around the pipe interface to prevent leaks, air intrusion, and chemical seepage at the mounting point. Its contoured profile supports consistent water flow through the feeder while maintaining a secure seal under pressure. Manufactured from chemical-resistant rubber, the R172263 is engineered to withstand prolonged exposure to chlorinated or brominated water and outdoor conditions, making it an essential service part when maintaining or resealing aging feeder systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1122\" data-end=\"1140\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1126\" data-end=\"1140\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"1141\" data-end=\"1934\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1141\" data-end=\"1311\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1143\" data-end=\"1311\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1143\" data-end=\"1178\"\u003eContoured Saddle Clamp Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shaped specifically for the Rainbow 300-29X saddle connection to ensure proper alignment and uniform compression against the pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1312\" data-end=\"1468\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1314\" data-end=\"1468\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1314\" data-end=\"1349\"\u003eLeak-Resistant Sealing Surface:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps prevent water and chemical leaks at the saddle mounting point, supporting safe and efficient feeder operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1469\" data-end=\"1632\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1471\" data-end=\"1632\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1471\" data-end=\"1510\"\u003eChemical-Resistant Rubber Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built to withstand chlorine, bromine, pressure changes, and outdoor exposure without hardening or cracking prematurely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1633\" data-end=\"1793\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1635\" data-end=\"1793\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1635\" data-end=\"1668\"\u003eDesigned for Rainbow Feeders:\u003c\/strong\u003e Commonly used on Pentair Rainbow 300 and 320 series inline and offline chemical feeders where saddle mounting is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1794\" data-end=\"1934\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1796\" data-end=\"1934\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1796\" data-end=\"1831\"\u003eCritical Maintenance Component:\u003c\/strong\u003e Restores proper sealing when original gaskets become flattened, brittle, or worn from long-term use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePentair Rainbow Automatic Chlorine\/Bromine Chemical Feeder Models: \u003c\/strong\u003e300-29X\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"2840\" data-end=\"2859\"\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2860\" data-end=\"3252\"\u003eThe Pentair R172263 Rainbow 300-29X Saddle Gasket is used to seal saddle-mounted Rainbow chemical feeders at the pipe connection point.
