Product Overview

The Pentair Light Gray G4 Head Complete Adjustable Orifice with Riser | 222002 is a replacement in-floor pool cleaning head assembly designed for compatible Pentair in-floor cleaning systems. This complete G4 head includes an adjustable orifice and riser, helping direct water flow through the cleaning head to support proper floor circulation, debris movement, and cleaning coverage.

This replacement head is ideal when the existing in-floor cleaning head is worn, damaged, faded, missing, sticking, or no longer popping up and rotating correctly. The light gray finish helps blend with many pool interiors and existing in-floor cleaning head layouts.

Because in-floor cleaning heads are system-specific, always confirm your existing head style, color, collar/floor fitting, orifice needs, and part number before ordering.

Benefits

The Pentair Light Gray G4 Head Complete Adjustable Orifice with Riser helps restore cleaning action in compatible in-floor pool cleaning systems. A properly operating cleaning head helps direct water flow across the pool floor, improving debris movement and supporting better overall circulation.

The adjustable orifice allows the flow path to be matched to the system’s cleaning requirements when properly configured. This can help balance performance across cleaning zones and improve coverage in areas where water flow needs fine-tuning.

Replacing a worn or damaged head can be a cost-effective repair when the water valve, plumbing, and floor fitting are still in good condition.

Recommended Use

Use the Pentair 222002 when a compatible G4 in-floor cleaning head needs replacement and the system requires a light gray complete head with adjustable orifice and riser.

Common signs replacement may be needed include:

Head does not pop up correctly
Head sticks or does not retract
Weak or misdirected water flow
Visible wear, cracking, or fading
Missing or damaged head components
Poor cleaning coverage in one area
Head does not rotate or index as expected

If several heads are not working correctly, inspect the water valve, valve module, pump flow, filter pressure, and plumbing before replacing all heads.

Installation Notes

Installation should be completed by a qualified pool professional or a knowledgeable pool owner familiar with in-floor cleaning systems. Some cleaning head components may require a compatible removal or installation tool.

For best results:

Turn off the pool pump before servicing the cleaning head.
Confirm the existing head is a compatible G4 style.
Remove the old head carefully to avoid damaging the floor fitting.
Inspect the floor fitting or collar for cracks, debris, or worn locking areas.
Install the replacement head securely.
Adjust the orifice as needed for the system design.
Restart the system and verify pop-up action, rotation, water direction, and cleaning performance.
Check water valve operation and system pressure if performance issues continue.

Improper installation or incorrect part selection may cause poor cleaning performance, fitment issues, stuck heads, or damage to the floor fitting.

Important Fitment Note

This item is the complete G4 head with adjustable orifice and riser. It is not a universal in-floor cleaning head and should not be substituted for a different head style or color without confirming compatibility.

If the floor fitting, collar, or water valve is damaged, additional replacement parts may be required.
