40 NB Top/Side Mount Filter Multiport Valve: Streamline Your Water Filtration
Effortlessly manage your water filtration system with the Initiative 40 NB Multiport Valve. This user-friendly valve offers optimal control over various filtration stages, maximizing the efficiency and lifespan of your filter media.
Difference Between Top Mount & Side Mount
-
Top Mount:
- Offers a more compact visual profile as the valve sits on top of the filter tank.
- Inlet and outlet connections are typically located on the bottom of the valve, requiring the pipes to run upwards from the floor or neighboring components.
- May be slightly more space-saving in tight areas, especially if there’s limited headroom above the filter tank.
-
Side Mount:
- Provides easier access to the lever for operation as the valve is mounted on the side of the filter tank.
- Inlet and outlet connections are located on the side of the valve, allowing pipes to run horizontally and potentially offering more flexibility in connecting existing plumbing.
- Might be preferable if headroom above the tank isn’t a concern, but may take up slightly more space overall.
Here’s a table summarizing the key differences:
| Feature | Top Mount | Side Mount |
| Valve Location | On top of the filter tank | On the side of the filter tank |
| Connection Location | Bottom of the valve | Side of the valve |
| Space Usage (Visual Profile) | More compact | Less compact |
| Access to Lever | May require reaching above | Easier to reach from the side |
| Pipe Connection Flexibility | May require vertical pipes | May allow for horizontal pipes |
