Fibropool Swimming Pool Diverter Valve - 1 1/2 Inch - 3 Way - Replacement Slip Valve for Pools and Spas White

Pool pump

We have a tankless water heater with a condensate drain line vented to the outside of our house (required by local building code) through our garage wall. When it remains below freezing outside for more than a day the condensate drain line would freeze solid, blocking the drain line which then automatically shuts-off the tankless water heater when the condensate backs-up inside the unit.I had two choices to remedy this problem: 1.) Go outside in the sub-freezing weather on a twice daily basis and chip the ice out of the frozen drain line to allow it to drain, OR 2.) Install this 3-way diversion valve in-line in the condensate drain line inside our garage and simply drain the condensate in to a bucket in our always-above-freezing garage for the few very cold days every year when this is an issue. I chose option 2.) above and it works beautifully!!This is a true-to-size 1.5" PVC slip fitting valve. A 1.5" PVC pipe will fit perfectly inside the valve slip fittings. The valve is very high quality. Push the black handle to "unlock" and change the valve position, as it locks into place in each position.

I like the simplicity of this tool. I need to be able to divert the outlet of my sump pump to any of two tubes. This product fits my purpose perfectly. The lever is a little hard to use, but works well and I don't need to use it frequently.

Fibropool did a GREAT job getting this unit to me quickly and well packed. This is to replace an valve that I purchased 2 years ago as a diverter for flushing my pool. On the original unit the rubber seal ripped and there was a minor leak requiring a replacement to be necessary. My only recommendation is that users be advised to put silicone grease on the rubber seals annually (or when the valve no longer moves easily) to prevent the seal from being compromised. Other than that this is a good unit, works well and is priced excellent.

Works fine

I dry fitted joints prior to gluing and the 1 1/2 PVC pipe would hardly connect to the valve. Is the valve coated with something? It appears to have a different sheen. I was concerned whether the PVC cement works on the valve. I did lightly sand the pipe down to get it to slide into the valve far enough to feel comfortable gluing the connection

The valve is good quality and easy to install. The one issue I had was the inside diameter of the valve itself is only an inch (1”), not 1 1/2”.I didn’t realize this until after the valve was installed and the pump was running. The smaller diameter caused some cavitation and introduced bubbles into the system as well as making the pump work harder.If I had known about this size difference I would not have purchased the item. That being said, it’s still a decent valve and you can’t beat the price.

This is the second pool I’ve used these valves on and I love them. In both cases I’ve used them as diverter valves for solar panels and they are awesome - much, much better than the typical big box store valves. The standard valves can be difficult to turn, so much so that at times you are concerned the handles may snap off. Not so with these diverter valves. They turn easily and lock positively in place, and even though they are probably not designed to do so, they can act as throttling valves e.g. in my case I don’t want full pump pressure going through my solar panels and I have had no problem controlling flow rates with these valves.

tres bon produit,transfert se fait facilement contrairement a certain commentaire..

Expect to use some muscle to shift between valves. Otherwise, does the job.

Installation rapide et facile

was exactly what i was wanting

The valve is of good quality and easy to exercise but it’s noted as slip when it’s actually female threaded.
