Anyone know what replaced the Hayward Variflo MV SP-711?

[k9mikep]

I have an older model Hayward S-220T sand filter which had a variflo sp-711 multivalve. I have to replace the valve and it appears that the SP0714T valve replaced the old SP-711 but the in/out ports are offset rather than inline like they are on my current valve. I'm just concerned because it's been said that a different company that puts hayward's name on their valve has offset in/out valves and I wanted to make sure that I use genuine Hayward parts.

Welcome to TFP.

The SP0714T is a Hayward number, and it has offset ports. The SP711 was mfg'd by Hayward but Praher made a valve that was almost identical except it had offset ports and the Hayward had aligned ports.
