Confirm your filter model number before ordering. Pentair catalog data for this part number was not available in the 2025–2026 extract — verify fitment against your filter's installation manual or the part number printed on your existing assembly.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe air bleed assembly allows trapped air to be purged from the filter tank, maintaining proper water flow and system pressure. A failed or degraded air bleed valve can prevent the filter from reaching operating pressure, cause erratic pressure gauge readings, or allow air locks to develop in the system. Replacing this kit restores correct venting function and sealing integrity to the filter's air relief point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 20px 0; border: 1px solid #ccc;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePentair Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eWC8-126Z\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eKit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePro Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocate the part number stamped or molded on your existing air bleed assembly and match it to WC8-126Z before ordering. When servicing the air bleed, inspect the surrounding tank fitting and any associated O-rings for cracking or deformation — replacing these at the same time prevents a return trip to the equipment pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual:2026-03-30 --\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51774115905811,"sku":"WC8-126Z","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/PENWC8126Z_0.jpg?v=1747699203","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/pentair-air-bleed-kit-wc8-126z","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
