Fluidra - Sand Filter Manifold Lateral Arm 1½" 360 mm

Fluidra – Sand Filter Manifold Lateral Arm 1½” 360 mm

This is a genuine Fluidra replacement manifold lateral arm for the Europe Filter Ø1050-75MM commercial sand filter. The lateral arm connects to the central collector hub at the base of the filter tank and, via its slotted design, collects filtered water evenly across the sand bed during filtration and ensures complete fluidisation of the filter media during backwash cycles. It is sized for a 1½” connection and measures 360 mm in length.

Compatibility

This lateral arm is designed specifically for the Fluidra Europe Filter range with a 1,050 mm tank diameter and a 75 mm port connection, rated to 2.5 kg/cm² (2.5 bar). The Europe Filter series is available in 1 m and 1.2 m filter bed heights, and all models in the range can be fitted with a valve manifold collector assembly. Always verify your filter model code before ordering to ensure correct fitment.

Why Genuine Matters

Genuine Fluidra lateral arms are manufactured to precise dimensional tolerances, ensuring a secure, leak-free fit in the collector hub and consistent slot sizing across the full arm length. Using an off-brand substitute risks uneven flow distribution through the sand bed, reduced filtration performance, and potential damage to the filter internals. As a direct OEM spare part, this arm restores your filter to its original specification.

Installation

The lateral arm slots or threads directly into the central manifold hub at the bottom of the filter vessel. On a large commercial filter such as the Ø1050, the tank must be emptied of water and filter media before access to the collector assembly is possible. Professional installation is recommended for commercial filter systems of this size. Sold as a single arm — check how many laterals your collector assembly requires before ordering.
