Product details
The Pentair 270056 is the replacement diverter assembly for Compool diverter valves. It is the genuine Pentair part and serves both 2 way and 3 way valve bodies.
What the diverter is
Inside a diverter valve, the diverter is the piece that swings on the stem and covers a port. Everything else in the valve body is static. That makes the diverter the part that wears, and on a valve turned daily, it is the reason a valve starts letting water past a port it is supposed to close.
Sizing
This part is listed as the 2 in. diverter, and the product description covers 2 in. and 2.5 in. diverter valves. Both readings are carried here rather than picking one. If your valve is the larger size, measure the body and compare it against the old diverter before ordering.
Installation
The valve cover comes off, the old diverter lifts out and the new one drops in. There is no cutting and the plumbing is not disturbed.
