On a pool and spa system that is how suction is switched between the pool and the spa, or how returns are directed. One handle does the work, and the valve holds its position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeverLube\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOlder diverter valves had to be taken apart and greased on a schedule, and a valve that was forgotten got stiff or started to weep. The NeverLube design removes that job, which is worth having on a pad that is buried behind equipment or hard to reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is the 2-1\/2 in. by 2 in. valve.
