Features at a Glance

Key components: Durable valve body, handle assembly, internal diverter, mounting hardware, and installation guide.

Installation

Unpack and inspect all components before installation. Ensure proper alignment and secure connections.

1. Prepare plumbing: Cut pipes to required length and deburr edges.
2. Dry fit components: Position valve in desired location without cement.
3. Apply primer and cement: Use CPVC-approved primer and cement on all connections.
4. Assemble components: Join pipes to valve ports with firm twisting motion.
5. Secure valve: Allow cement to cure completely before testing.
6. Test for leaks: Pressurize system and check all connections.

WARNING! Use proper safety equipment when working with solvents. Ensure adequate ventilation during installation.

First-Time Setup

After installation, configure valve for initial operation and verify proper function.

1. Position handle: Set to desired flow configuration (A-B, A-C, or A-B-C).
2. Check alignment: Ensure handle moves smoothly between positions.
3. Test flow patterns: Verify water flows through correct outlets.
4. Adjust stops: Set position stops if adjustable model.
5. Label positions: Mark handle positions for future reference.

CAUTION! Do not force handle beyond stop positions. Ensure system is depressurized before adjustments.

Controls and Settings

Manual operation via handle with three distinct flow positions and intermediate settings.

Handle Positions: A-B (full flow to port B), A-C (full flow to port C), A-B-C (equal flow to both B and C).

Flow Control: Gradual adjustment between positions for precise flow distribution. Position Locks: Positive stops at each main position. Handle Indicator: Clear markings show current flow configuration. Intermediate Settings: Fine-tune flow distribution between ports B and C.

Connecting to System

Standard plumbing connections for pool and spa systems with flexible configuration options.

1. Identify ports: Port A (inlet), Ports B and C (outlets).
2. Plan routing: Determine optimal pipe routing for your application.
3. Prepare connections: Clean and prepare all pipe ends.
4. Apply cement: Use CPVC cement on both pipe and valve socket.
5. Join components: Insert pipe fully into valve socket with quarter-turn.
6. Hold position: Maintain pressure for 30 seconds to prevent push-out.

Tip: Allow 24 hours for full cement cure before pressurizing system.

Operation Modes

Three primary operating modes with adjustable flow distribution.

1. Full Diversion: Handle at A-B or A-C for 100% flow to single outlet.
2. Split Flow: Handle at A-B-C for equal distribution between outlets.
3. Proportional Flow: Intermediate positions for custom flow ratios.
4. Winterization: Set to open position for system drainage.
5. Service Mode: Position for pump priming or filter cleaning.

WARNING! Do not operate under pressure if handle movement is restricted. Depressurize system first.

Maintenance Procedures

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends valve life.

Monthly: Inspect for leaks and smooth operation. Quarterly: Check handle position and stops. Annually: Lubricate O-rings with silicone grease. As Needed: Clean internal components if flow restriction occurs.

Care & Cleaning

Regular cleaning maintains appearance and function. Use mild soap and water only.

CAUTION! Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or high-pressure sprays. Avoid direct chemical contact.
