Product Overview
The A&A G2V Retro Internal for Style 2 White | 236701 is a genuine Pentair/A&A replacement in-floor cleaning head designed for compatible Style 2 / Gamma Series 2 pool cleaning systems.
The G2V design uses Venturi-assisted water movement to support effective circulation and debris movement across the pool floor. This replacement internal installs into a compatible existing Style 2 floor fitting, making it ideal for replacing a worn, damaged, sticking, or missing cleaning head without replacing the permanent floor fitting.
Finished in white, the 236701 blends well with light-colored plaster, quartz, pebble, and other pool finishes.

Style 2 / Gamma Series 2 Compatibility
The 236701 is designed for compatible A&A/Pentair Style 2, also commonly referred to as Gamma Series 2, in-floor cleaning installations.
It is intended to replace the removable cleaning-head internal while utilizing the existing compatible floor fitting.
This part is not intended as a replacement for Style 1 or Style 1.5 cleaning heads. Verify the existing cleaning system and floor-fitting style before ordering.
G2V Venturi Design
The G2V designation identifies this cleaning head as the Venturi version of Pentair/A&A's Gamma Series 2 retro cleaning head.
The Venturi configuration is designed to use the water moving through the cleaning head to enhance circulation around the head. Properly operating in-floor heads work together by zone to move debris across the pool surface toward the main drain or other debris-collection point.
This can help provide:
- Improved floor circulation
- Effective debris movement
- Better distribution of treated water
- More uniform pool temperature
- Reduced stagnant areas within the pool
G2 vs. G2V
The 236701 is a G2V Venturi cleaning head, not the standard G2 variable-flow version.
For a standard white G2 Retro Internal with Variable Flow Orifice, the corresponding Pentair part number is 236671.
| Type | White Part Number |
|---|---|
| G2 Variable Flow Retro Internal | 236671 |
| G2V Venturi Retro Internal | 236701 |
Always confirm which cleaning-head design the existing in-floor system requires before ordering.
Available G2V Retro Colors
Pentair offers G2V Retro Internals in several colors:
| Part Number | Color |
|---|---|
| 236744 | Black |
| 236703 | Dark Gray |
| 236701 | White |
| 236702 | Light Gray |
| 236786 | Dark Blue |
This allows the replacement head to better match the pool's interior finish.
Installation Notes
Before replacing an in-floor cleaning head:

- Remove the existing cleaning-head internal using the appropriate installation/removal tool.
