FRP Vessel Top Distributor for Side‑Mount 42–48inch

Description

This is the upper internal water distributor that sits just below the side‑mount control valve inside a fibreglass (FRP) tank sized roughly 42″–48″ in diameter.

• 📍 Location: Top of the media bed, connected into the riser or to the side‑mount piping.

• 🌀 Function: Evenly spreads incoming water across the top of the media (sand, resin, carbon) so flow goes uniformly down through the bed.

• 🔧 How it looks:

  • A central hub that interfaces with the connection from the valve/riser,

  • With multiple radial laterals (spokes) extending outward horizontally toward the tank wall.

  • These laterals have small slots or holes so water flows out gently and evenly.

• 📏 Sizing: Engineered for 6″ flanged openings and side‑mount control valves on large tanks like 42″–48″ FRP vessels.

• 📌 Source guidance in distributor charts identifying H173 as the matching top distributor for such vessels.
