PENTAIR, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and,
accordingly, do not include all information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.

These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, previously filed with the
Commission.

2.  The results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 1996 are
not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the
full year.

3.  Income tax provisions for interim periods are based on the current
best estimate of the effective federal, state and foreign income tax
rates.

4. Earnings per common share are based on the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period. The
tax benefits applicable to preferred dividends paid to ESOPs are: for
allocated shares credited to income tax expense and for unallocated
shares, credited to retained earnings and are not considered earnings
applicable to common stock.

Fully diluted computations assume full conversion of each series of
preferred stock into common stock, the elimination of preferred dividend
requirements, and the recognition of the tax benefit on deductible ESOP
dividends applicable to allocated shares payable based on the converted
common dividend rate.  Conversion was assumed during the portion of each
period that the securities were outstanding.


5.  The long-term debt is summarized as follows ($ millions):

Debt agreements contain various restrictive covenants, including a
limitation on the payment of dividends and certain other restricted
payments.  Under the most restrictive covenants, $56 million of the June
30, 1996 retained earnings were unrestricted for such purposes.

7. Stock Split

On January 22, 1996 the board of directors approved a two-for-one stock
split in the form of a 100% stock dividend.  The dividend was payable
February 16, 1996 to shareholders of record at the close of business on
February 2, 1996.  All references in the financial statements to shares
outstanding and per share amounts have been restated to reflect this
split. 


8. Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' financial
statements to conform to the current year presentation.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Pentair reported net income of $33.6 million, or 78 cents per fully
diluted share, on consolidated net sales of $729.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1996.  This represented a 23.5% increase in net
income and an 8.5% increase in sales over the first half of 1995.  The six
month 1995 income from continuing operations was $27.2 million, or 63
cents per fully diluted share, on consolidated net sales of $672.0
million. 

Specialty Products Segment.  Net sales increased $75.4 million or 33% and
operating income increased $12.3 million or 55%.  The increases are
attributable to Fleck Controls, an acquisition made in November 1995, and
double digit sales growth over last year at Delta, Myers and Porter Cable. 
The improvements reflect new product sales, contributions from smaller
acquisitions, and continued expansion into national distribution channels. 
Results from the newly acquired Flex business will be included effective
July 1, 1996.

General Industrial Equipment Segment.  Sales decreased $18.2 million or
4% and operating income decreased $3.9 million or 9%. Combined, Hoffman
and Schroff posted modest sales and earnings increases as compared to very
good 1995 results.  Both Lincoln Industrial and Lincoln Automotive profits
increased due to cost reductions and improved productivity.  Sales at
Federal Cartridge continued weak into the second quarter.  The sales
shortfall is attributed to two factors: a shift in buying patterns by
distributors who are delaying purchases as a result of the elimination of
pre-season, quantity discounts, and high distributor inventories that were
built in response to proposed firearms legislation.  Federal expects fall
stocking orders to be placed in the third quarter as the hunting season
approaches.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

In 1996 as in 1995, net income adjusted for non-cash items provided the
funds for seasonal working capital increases.  Accounts receivable levels
increased due to dating programs and strong sales in the latter part of
the current quarter.  Inventory levels have been built up in anticipation
of higher third and fourth quarter sales.  Borrowings in the first half
of 1996 financed some operating needs, acquisition payments and capital
expenditures.  The proceeds from the $100 million note receivable from the
sale of Cross Pointe Paper offset much of the $120 million notes payable
for the purchase of Fleck Controls.  Capital expenditures were $22.5
million in 1996 as compared to $22.6 million in 1995.  The percentage of
long-term debt to total capital was 36% at June 30, 1996 compared to 31%
at December 31, 1995.

Based upon current operating expectations, credit available under
revolving credit facilities is expected to be adequate to cover seasonal
working capital, long-term capital expenditure requirements and
acquisitions.


OUTLOOK

In general, the Company is well-positioned to continue its internal
growth. Recent acquisitions are expected to continue to contribute to
sales and earnings growth.  The strong emphasis on product development and
aggressive efforts to expand distribution channels that helped during 1995
are expected to generate growth in market share, sales and profits.  Sales
will continue to grow as a result of new products and enhanced customer
service.  Pentair continues to search for strategic or synergistic
industrial acquisitions.

The full year 1996 cash flow from operations is expected to increase with
additional net income contributions as compared to last year.  Working
capital needs are somewhat seasonal during the year and tend to grow over
time as sales increase.  Capital expenditures are expected to be in the
range of $90 to $110 million in 1996 as compared to $63.8 million in 1995.
This increase is due primarily to the addition of a Hoffman manufacturing
facility in Mount Sterling, Kentucky and new product development
activities.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

Delta International Machinery.  In July 1996, Rockwell International notified 
Pentair that it would claim indemnification under a 1984 purchase agreement 
with respect to property located in Guelph, Ontario, the former site of 
operations for Rockwell Canada and a former subsidiary of Pentair, Beaver-
Delta Machinery Corp.  The Ontario Ministry of Environment and Energy identified
the site as contaminated by TCE from operations of Rockwell Canada.  This site
is the same as that involved in an earlier suit by a subsequent owner against
Beaver-Delta which had been dismissed; for basic information about the site,
see the discussion in Pentair's Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 1993.
Pentair believes that it has no liability to Rockwell under the purchase
agreement or otherwise.  No estimate of the projected response cost liability 
at this site can be made based on information currently known to Pentair.
