Product Overview
The Pentair MasterTemp 125 Manifold Kit | 474972 is a genuine Pentair replacement manifold assembly kit designed for compatible Pentair MasterTemp 125 pool and spa heaters. This kit is used to repair or replace a damaged, leaking, cracked, or worn manifold assembly and helps restore proper heater water flow, sealing, bypass function, and pressure-switch operation.
The manifold assembly is a critical part of the heater’s water system. It directs pool water through the heater, supports the bypass valve, seals against the heat exchanger, and provides the proper location for the water pressure switch. When the original manifold is damaged or the seals have failed, replacing the assembly with the correct OEM kit helps restore safe and reliable heater operation.
This kit is commonly listed for MasterTemp 125 heaters and includes major manifold service components such as the coil/tubesheet sealing O-ring kit, manifold bottom plate, manifold O-ring, baffle plate, bypass valve, water pressure switch, manifold, stainless steel washer, and hex cap screw. Public listings identify the UPC as 788379865245.
