It is carried under the 2 in. top mount Cristal Flo valve 14971-TM-22-L and under the 1-1\/2 in. and 2 in. side mount valves 18202-150 and 18201-0200.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmall part, real job\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA multiport valve works because its internals are held under even pressure. Washers are part of how that pressure is set, and once one is flattened or distorted the symptom shows up somewhere else: a handle that turns too easily, water where it should not be, or a diverter that no longer seats. Replacing the worn piece is cheaper than chasing the symptom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder by number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eValve hardware looks similar across models and eras, so match the factory number rather than the shape.
