In-Line Builder Valve Kit Pool Cleaner made by PentairĀ® K12142B
Vacuum Line Valve Kit
We strongly recommend the use of the automatic regulator valve for maximum safety and
performance. The valve automatically adjusts to changes in the amount of water ļ¬ow to
provide Kreepy Krauly with the power necessaiy to ensure proper cleaning performance.
- 1. Turn the pump off A
- 2. Close the main drain and all suction lines, except the line to which Kreepy Krauly will
be connected. - 3. Thread the snap-lock wall ļ¬tting into the end of the dedicated vacuum line
- 4. Install the automatic regulator valve (encased in the strainer guard) into the snap-
lock wall fitting. See The Figure. Next, install the hose adapter into the end of the
automatic regulator valve. See The Figure Below - 5. Place Kreepy Krauly into the pool and allow it to sink to the pool floor. Continue to’ feed the hose vertically down into the pool until it is completely ļ¬lled with water and
purged of all air. - 6. Remove the hose protector from the female/female hose section and connect it to the end of the hose adapter installed into the automatic regulator valve. See The Figure
- 7. After completing the installation, turn the pool pump on. Allow the pump to run for
a couple of minutes to allow any trapped air to cycle out of the system. Kreepy Krauly
should be moving about the pool at a rate of 8 to 12 feet per minute. - 8. To set the proper speed of your Kreepy Krauly you need to manually adjust the valve
for the vacuum line (located at the pool equipment pad) until the valve body moves
midway into the yellow band. See The Figure

Please be advised that certain manufacturers - including Pentair® (with their TradeGrade® products), Jandy®/Fluidra® (with their Trade Series Exclusive™ products), and Hayward® (with their Expert Line® products) - do not honor manufacturer warranties on specific product lines purchased online.
These policies are intentionally enforced by the manufacturers to prevent customers from purchasing the same products at lower prices online.
Warranty coverage for these products is generally only available when purchased in person from an authorized local dealer.
While we strive to take care of our customers by offering the lowest possible prices on brand new, genuine products, we do not provide warranty coverage ourselves, nor can we guarantee that the manufacturer will honor the warranty on products purchased from our online store.
It is the buyer’s responsibility to confirm warranty eligibility directly with the manufacturer before making a purchase.
If you are a local customer, you may be able to purchase these items in-store and obtain manufacturer warranty coverage. However, for many of our customers across the country, paying significantly more locally just to access a manufacturer warranty often doesn’t make financial sense, especially when some local suppliers charge considerably higher prices.
By completing your purchase, you acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for warranty support or claims denied by the manufacturer due to their online sales restrictions.
