Product details

The Ocean Blue 176106 is a lube free 3-way valve for pool plumbing. It is made of extremely durable CPVC and carries a clear lid so the inside of the valve can be checked at a glance.

Lube free

A conventional diverter valve needs its o-ring greased on a schedule, and a valve that has been left dry is a common source of leaks and stiff handles. This design does away with that, which is what Ocean Blue means by easier, problem free installation and reliability.

Service and flow

The valve disassembles easily for clearing debris, so a stone or a leaf that has jammed the diverter does not mean cutting the valve out. The swivel design handles both return and intake water, so the same valve suits either side of the system.

Sizing

Ocean Blue offers the valve in two sizes. The facts describe this one both as 1.5 in. x 2 in. and as a 1.5 in. valve, so measure your pipe and confirm the port size before ordering.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

Does it need valve lube?
No. It is a lube free valve, which is the point of the design.
Can it be used on the suction side?
The swivel design is described as handling both return and intake water, so it suits either side.
How do I clear something stuck in it?
The valve disassembles for clearing debris, and the clear lid lets you see what is inside before you open it.
