Applications & Compatibility
This diverter valve is ideal for pool/spa installations requiring redirection of water flow—such as bypass loops, feature lines, or equipment isolation. It fits systems using 2″ plumbing or 2½″ slip size and can be used with or without an actuator. Always verify your plumbing connection (glue-in vs slip), pressure rating and chemical exposure before installing.
Installation Instructions
- Shut off water flow and relieve system pressure before servicing.
- Remove the old valve if replacing, clean pipe ends and ensure correct fitting type.
- Install the new 263027 valve—glue into 2″ or slip into 2½″ as appropriate, align handle to desired stop positions.
- Restore flow, test that the valve switches smoothly between positions and check for leaks at connections.
Troubleshooting
- Valve leaks or drips: Confirm that glue or slip joint is properly installed and fully cured, check internal seal condition and handle stop settings.
- Handle is hard to move: Ensure the system pressure is relieved, internal seal is clean, and no debris is jammed in the diverter chamber.
- Flow seems restricted: Verify correct valve orientation, inlet/outlet ports, and confirm the internal diverter is operating in the correct pathway.
Maintenance Tip
Inspect the valve annually during service downtime. Check for chemical corrosion, handle wear, or seal degradation. Replacing the valve proactively when signs of wear appear will help maintain optimum flow characteristics and avoid mid-season failures.
