'Valve not included' - what does this mean? Is that the thing on top (which I could canibalize from the old filter?

NO DEFINTELY n NOT. Amazon does NOT carry the proper valve for this sand filter. Took me two weeks to locate one in Georgia. Valve is the part that fits into both 2" PVC fittings on side of sand filter. Spring loaded handle with positions for Backwash - Rinse - etc. Salvage tht IF you can.

Everything needed to replace the cartridge is included in the kit. I can not remember if the o rings were already on the valve or whether I had to install them. I do remember that there is a small tube of lubricant to help ease the new cartridge into place. The big hangup of this job is removing the old cartridge. Apparently some will just pull out. Mine was frozen in place and I had to buy the tool to remove it. The tool is not included with the kit. Also don't forget to remove the circlip (looks like a hairpin) before trying to pull out the old cartridge. Good luck.

a regulator is not required nor is a filter. I just attach mine to the tank valve

You get what is in the picture--grids pre-installed, the fiberglass container, couplings, pressure gauge, etc. It does NOT come with a butterfly valve or backwash valve or pipe or tools or DE or anything of that nature. I replaced an existing Pentair DE Filter that had a crack in the case and it was a drop-in replacement for that.

that part is missing, you have not specified, I think the parts may fit other brands that sell this type of filter

The valve is not included. Just the trim. If you need the valve just call Moen Customer Service and they send a replacement for free. Moen for life as they say.Craig

The filter did not come with the backwash valve. I used the same valve as pictured that I already had and it is for 1.5 inch diameter pipe.

No I purchased a separate inline filter for it, the unit is great better than one we purchased through our R/O vendor.

Not sure where you would be getting the "m 16" from, except that is used by some distributors to identify their part numbers. What kind of filter system do you need a valve for? Filter only, softener, or a greensand system?MarkAfwfilters785-735-9769

You have to attach your own air pump and tubing to it. It is just the filter itself.

Yes, there are two of the valves included when you purchase a new 2215 filter. Mine has worked very well.

When I had my filter replaced with the same model filter, I used the multiport valve from my old filter and it worked perfectly. The old valve fit the new filter with no problem.

I just finished installing this and I can tell you that it "does" come with the air valve and gauge on the top of the filter. I don't know why they confuse the description with "without valve". It comes just as the picture shows and since there isn't a backwash valve in the pic, why would one think that it does? Idk, why does McDs have to put "caution, contents may be hot" on the side of a coffee cup? What the picture does show, are the PVC unions on the outside and it does not come this way. The backwash valve would have these parts and screws onto the male parts that are included on the filter.

Mine came with an extra filter that was included in the box. It's to replace when the first one gets old.

No, I had to buy the metal bracket additionally. Note: The bracket is not overly substantial. I have one of these filters before. Unscrewing the lower part of the housing to replace the filter element can require a surprising amount of force. I put petroleum jelly on the o-ring to help ease the situation.

I purchased standard fittings @ home depot, I put a ball valve before and after the filter. I did not use any brackets. Have not changed filter yet.

The filter tank. Ones with the regular valve fittings (inlet/outlet). Your valve should easily connect to it. If your o-rings are worn out or scratched better get a set of new ones. Don't forget to grease the rubber seals before hocking the valve set into the filter unit.
