Product Description

Gain ultimate control over fluid direction in your plumbing systems with the Praher Plastics OV3-2010 3-Way Diverter Valve. This versatile valve is constructed from high-grade CPVC material, offering superior resistance to chlorine, acids, ozone, and harsh UV exposure. This robust composition ensures longevity and prevents the warping and degradation common in standard PVC valves exposed to high heat or direct sunlight.

Designed for broad compatibility, the valve features three ports with 2-inch inner diameter (socket) connections that also function as 2.5-inch outer diameter (spigot) connections. This allows for seamless integration into a wide range of Schedule 40 or 80 PVC/CPVC plumbing configurations. Ideal for diverting water flow between main drains, skimmers, and cleaners in pool and spa applications, or complex irrigation systems. The permanently lubricated rotor seal exceeds 3000 dry cycles, ensuring a reliable, long-lasting performance with zero maintenance required.

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 on all three ports for flexible plumbing integration.
  • 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.

⚠️ Warnings and Disclaimers

  • Pressure Rating: PVC valves are de-rated for higher temperatures. Do not exceed pressure and temperature ratings specified by the manufacturer.
  • Installation: 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 features union nuts, allowing easy access to the internal diverter assembly for service or O-ring replacement without cutting plumbing lines.
  • Lubrication: Only use a PTFE or silicone-based lubricant on the EPDM O-rings. Petroleum-based products will cause seals to degrade and swell.

💡 Professional Tips

  • Common Use: This valve is extremely common in pool and spa equipment sets to divert water flow between two different pool features or to direct suction flow from multiple skimmers/main drains.
  • Flow Control: The handle can be adjusted precisely to balance flow rates between the two outgoing ports, allowing customization of your system hydraulics.
  • Automation Ready: This valve is designed to accommodate a standard valve actuator for automated control if you add a pool control system later on.
