Ordering the genuine part matters here: fit the wrong downpipe and the valve won't seat properly, and you lose the ability to tune the overflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine Red Sea part R42217\u003c\/strong\u003e — not a generic substitute, so it seats and seals the way the factory-fitted original did.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated flow valve\u003c\/strong\u003e — lets you fine-tune sump-side flow for a silent overflow, and shut off for maintenance without draining the display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirect factory fit\u003c\/strong\u003e — no cutting, gluing or drilling on the models it's listed against below.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit my tank?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eR42217 is listed by Red Sea and multiple authorised retailers against the Reefer 250, Reefer 350, Reefer 450, Reefer XL 425, Reefer XL 525 and MAX-E.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eI have a newer 350, 450 or XL425 — is this still my part?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003ePossibly not. Red Sea introduced a separate downpipe, R42229, for the 350 V3 and XL 425 V3, and a further part, R42229G2, for the 350 G2 and XL 425 G2. If your tank is a V3 or G2-generation 350, 450 or XL425, check your serial number or model plate before ordering. R42217 is the correct part for the earlier-generation systems, and for the 250, XL 525 and MAX-E in every generation we found listed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGenuine Red Sea part number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eR42217\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComponent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSump-side valved downpipe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFunction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlow tuning and shut-off for the sump overflow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFits\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReefer 250, Reefer 350, Reefer 450, Reefer XL 425, Reefer XL 525, MAX-E\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility and spare parts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYour system\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCorrect downpipe part\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReefer 250 \/ 350 \/ 450 \/ XL425 \/ XL525 \/ MAX-E (earlier generation)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eR42217 — this listing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReefer 350 V3 \/ XL425 V3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eR42229 (not this listing)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReefer 350 G2 \/ XL425 G2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eR42229G2 (not this listing)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot sure which generation you have?
