Fluidra - Pressure Gauge Connection for ARM PTK 1200 Sand Filter (Ø1000–1200 mm)

Fluidra – Pressure Gauge Connection for ARM PTK 1200 Sand Filter (Ø1000–1200 mm)

This is the genuine Fluidra replacement pressure gauge connection fitting for the ARM PTK 1200 series commercial fibreglass sand filters in Ø1000 and Ø1200 mm diameters. It provides the threaded port through which a pressure gauge is mounted to the filter, allowing operators to monitor system pressure and determine when backwashing is required. Sourced directly from Fluidra, this component ensures a reliable, pressure-rated seal in demanding commercial pool environments.

Compatibility

This connection is designed specifically for Fluidra ARM Filters PTK 1200 series with tank diameters of 1000 mm and 1200 mm (assembly references 04962 / 04963 / 04973). The PTK 1200 series is a polyester and fibreglass laminated filter range; the successor Delta 1200 filter series evolved directly from these PTK filters and may share certain fittings — verify against your assembly diagram before ordering.

Why Genuine Matters

Commercial sand filters operate at significant pressures (up to 250 kPa / 2.5 bar), so a correctly rated, OEM-specification connection fitting is essential for safe operation. A genuine Fluidra part guarantees dimensional accuracy, compatible thread form, and material durability — eliminating the risk of leaks or failures that can arise with non-original substitutes. Keeping the pressure gauge circuit intact also ensures accurate readings that protect both the equipment and the pool system.

Installation

Installation involves fitting the connection into the designated threaded port on the filter lid or body and securing the pressure gauge. Always depressurise the filter fully before working on any fittings, and use appropriate thread sealant if recommended in your filter’s service manual. For large commercial filters of this scale, installation by a qualified pool technician is strongly advised.
