Pentair Float Valve Assembly | Bermuda Gunite Skimmer | 506160Z

Description

The Pentair Float Valve Assembly (506160Z) is the OEM replacement float valve assembly for Bermuda Series gunite skimmers, maintaining proper water level within the skimmer body to ensure consistent suction and debris collection.

What It Does

The float valve assembly regulates water flow into the skimmer, compensating for minor water level fluctuations in the pool. When the float valve fails or becomes stuck, the skimmer may lose prime or draw air into the circulation system, reducing filtration effectiveness. Replacing this assembly restores correct skimmer operation and protects pump performance.

Specifications

Fits Into

Compatibility is based on Pentair parts documentation and available OEM records. This is not an exhaustive list. For certainty, verify the part number in your equipment’s manual or on the original part itself before ordering.

Pro Tip

Not all Bermuda gunite skimmer configurations include a float valve from the factory — it is an optional accessory on some models. Before ordering, confirm your skimmer currently has or is designed to accept a float valve assembly by checking your skimmer’s model number against the Fits Into table above. If your skimmer model is listed with “Float Valve” in its name (e.g., 506308, 506370, 506382), this is the correct service replacement. Match the part number 506160Z to the part number shown on your existing assembly before adding to cart.
