Vari-Flo 4 position valve. It is the genuine Hayward kit, supplied with both parts together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the key gasket does\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe diverter, the key, is what routes water to filter, backwash, waste or closed. The gasket on top of it is what keeps those paths separate. Once it hardens, flattens or tears, water crosses between ports: the filter never quite filters, backwash never quite backwashes, and the handle usually gets stiff or vague at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheck the valve before ordering\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHayward has built several valves that look alike from above. The one this kit fits has SP704-C molded into the bottom of the diverter. Lift the cover and read that marking rather than going by the shape of the handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is not in the kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lid o-ring is a separate part. If the valve has been apart and the o-ring is flat, cracked or squashed out of round, replace it while the valve is open rather than a season later.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48633785516244,"sku":"HAY-061-2098","price":114.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_db32bea4-b44b-4a5d-88b6-8143e1915cb0.jpg?v=1788816385","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/key-cover-handle-assembly-1","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
