This gasket fits between the feeder body and saddle clamp to prevent leaks where the unit mounts to the plumbing line. Its contoured shape ensures even compression around the pipe connection, helping maintain consistent water flow while preventing chemical seepage and air intrusion. Manufactured from durable, chemical-resistant rubber, the gasket is built to withstand prolonged exposure to chlorinated or brominated water, pressure fluctuations, and outdoor conditions, making it a critical replacement part when servicing aging or leaking Rainbow feeder installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"934\" data-start=\"920\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"1646\" data-start=\"935\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1082\" data-start=\"935\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1082\" data-start=\"937\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"964\" data-start=\"937\"\u003eExact Saddle Clamp Fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contoured to match the Rainbow 300-29X saddle connection, ensuring proper alignment against the feeder body and pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1221\" data-start=\"1083\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1221\" data-start=\"1085\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1109\" data-start=\"1085\"\u003eLeak-Resistant Seal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prevents 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-end=\"1366\" data-start=\"1222\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1366\" data-start=\"1224\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1254\" data-start=\"1224\"\u003eChemical-Durable Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed to resist chlorine, bromine, pressure, and outdoor exposure without hardening or cracking prematurely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1506\" data-start=\"1367\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1506\" data-start=\"1369\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1405\" data-start=\"1369\"\u003eCompatible with Rainbow Feeders:\u003c\/strong\u003e Commonly used on Pentair Rainbow 300 and 320 series inline and offline chlorinators and brominators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1646\" data-start=\"1507\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1646\" data-start=\"1509\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1543\" data-start=\"1509\"\u003eEssential Service Replacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ideal for restoring proper sealing when original gaskets become flattened, brittle, or worn over time.\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=\"268\" data-end=\"287\"\u003eAdditional Info\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"288\" data-end=\"739\"\u003eThe Pentair R172263 Rainbow 300-29X Saddle Gasket is the sealing gasket used between the Rainbow feeder body and the saddle clamp where the feeder mounts to the plumbing line.
