Product Description
Ensure precise flow control in your demanding applications with the Praher Plastics OV2-2010 2-Way Diverter Valve. This robust valve is constructed from high-grade CPVC material, offering superior resistance to chlorine, acids, ozone, and UV exposure. Unlike standard PVC valves, this CPVC build has a higher heat tolerance, preventing the lid from warping in direct sunlight or high-temperature systems.
Designed with 2-inch socket (ID) by 2.5-inch spigot (OD) dimensions, this valve provides versatile connection options for standard Schedule 40 or 80 PVC/CPVC piping. The design is ideal for diverting, shutting off, or proportionally mixing fluids in pool and spa systems, irrigation lines, and light industrial processes. The permanently lubricated rotor seal exceeds 3000 dry cycles, ensuring reliable, long-lasting performance.
Key Features
- Durable CPVC Construction: Made from chlorine, acid, and ozone-resistant CPVC material for superior longevity compared to standard PVC.
- Versatile Connections: Features 2-inch inner diameter (socket) and 2.5-inch outer diameter (spigot) connections for easy integration into various plumbing systems.
- High-Heat Tolerance: Engineered with a high-heat lid that resists warping, making it ideal for outdoor and high-temperature environments.
- Reliable Sealing: Incorporates a double O-ring shaft seal and permanently lubricated rotor for extreme wear resistance and leak prevention.
- Actuator Ready: The universal shaft spline pattern is designed to adapt to most common valve actuators for automated operation.
- Code & Standard Compliant: All wetted materials meet NSF-50 or 61 designations for safe use in pool/spa and potable water systems.

Technical Data & Plumbing
⚠️ Warnings and Disclaimers
- Pressure Rating: PVC valves have a de-rating factor as temperature increases. Do not exceed specified pressure ratings.
- Installation: Always use a compatible PVC primer and cement when installing the valve into the plumbing system to ensure a waterproof and pressure-tight seal.
- Maintenance: This valve includes removable union nuts for easy maintenance or replacement of the internal diverter seal without cutting the pipe.
- Lubrication: Do not use petroleum-based lubricants on the EPDM O-rings, as this can cause them to swell and fail. Use a PTFE or silicone-based lubricant only.
💡 Professional Tips
- Dual-Size Advantage: The unique 2" x 2.5" slip dimension means a 2" SCH 40 pipe slides into the fitting on all three ports, allowing for flexibility in plumbing size.
- Flow Control: Ideal for use in pool systems to divert water flow to features like cleaners, waterfalls, or solar heating systems.
- Actuator Ready: This type of valve is typically designed to accept an add-on valve actuator (like a Jandy or Hayward style) for automated operation via a control system.
