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 nine months ended September 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 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):

</TABLE>

Debt agreements contain various restrictive covenants, including a
limitation on the payment of dividends and certain other restricted
payments.  Under the most restrictive covenants, $77 million of the
September 30, 1996 retained earnings were unrestricted for such purposes.

</TABLE>

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 $52.2 million, or $1.21 per fully diluted
share, on consolidated net sales of $1,140.2 million for the nine month
period ended September 30, 1996.  This represented a 23% increase in net
income from continuing operations and an 11% increase in sales over the
comparable period in 1995.  The nine month 1995 income from continuing
operations was $42.5 million, or 99 cents per fully diluted share, on
consolidated net sales of $1,025.3 million.  Net sales for the three month
period ended September 30, 1996 increased 16% over the same period of the 
prior year and net income increased 21%. 

Specialty Products Segment.  For the nine month period ended September
30, 1996, net sales increased $123.0 million or 35%
and operating income increased $20.0 million or 57%.  The increases are
attributable to Fleck Controls, an acquisition made in November 1995,
and FLEX, a recent Porter Cable acquisition.  Double digit growth over
last year at Myers and Porter Cable reflected new
product sales, contributions from smaller acquisitions, and continued
expansion and increased penetration into national distribution channels
and home centers.  Results from the newly acquired Flex business have
been included since July 1, 1996.

General Industrial Equipment Segment.  For the nine month period ended   
September 30, 1996, net sales decreased $8.1 million or
1% and operating income decreased $1.7 million or 3%. Combined, Hoffman
and Schroff posted moderate 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 were up in the third quarter.  Federal's sales
shortfall in the first half was somewhat made up by the anticipated peak
in the third quarter demand which did fully not meet expectations.  Sales in 
the sporting ammunition industry are expected to remain relatively soft in  
the fourth quarter.

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 decreased during the current
quarter and are expected to decrease in the fourth quarter also due to
seasonal sales.  Borrowings in the 1996 nine month period 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 $39.5 million in
1996 as compared to $35.9 million in 1995.  The percentage of long-term
debt to total capital was 34% at September 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 and the current year are expected to continue 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 $80 to $90 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.
