Need help finding spider gasket size

[satchel]

Hi,

There is water that is leaking out of my discharge pipe. It just drips when the filter is not running, but there is more of a leak when the filter’s going. I think I have to replace the spider gasket, but I’m not sure what size to get.

The filter is from like the 1970s and says Americana Multiport Valve. I couldn’t find a model number or serial number anywhere, but it did have a patent number; 3640310. The valve is to the side of a filter (that says it’s an Airquatic 66VX2FR, high capacity sand filter), and the pressure gauge is on top of the filter. The connection pipes are 2". I looked around on online to see what looked the most like my filter, but I couldn’t find any exact matches, probably because it’s so old. Do I have to get a specific gasket or are they universal just by brand? At first, I thought it might be a Hayward s200 or s240, but that pressure gauge is on the filter. Now I think it might be a Pentair Triton or maybe a Pac Fab filter, but I’m not sure what the model number would be.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Satchel,

Thanks for the photos those are great! I beleive you have this American Products Multiport Valve and I would suggest the tune up kit at the top of the page, please note there is a kit for Pre 1976 or Post 1976 so you will need to purchase accordingly. If you click into key #14 you can purchase the spider gasket by itself and you can see the difference in the spider gasket from Pre 1976 and Post 1976 and I have also listed those photos below.
