4724 2-Port 1-1/2 to 2-inch Positive Seal NeverLube Valve

The valve is high quality, and also can be rebuilt later - if required - without having to remove pipes. The only negative comment is the handle's orientation and the embossed "off" marking. Ball valves traditionally are "open" or "on" when the handle is in line with the pipes, but this one is off by 90 degrees. I can see the "off" label as a carryover from their 3-port valves, but it is very inappropriate on this valve. This is not awful but is an inconvenience as a quick glance at the valve may lead you to think it is in the wrong position. Lever orientation and marking aside, this is a great valve.

Quality of valve looks very good. Have not installed yet so performance review will have to follow later. Building valve assemble on bench with jig fixture for ease of installation. See picture.

This Jandy Valve is the only valve I ever use with my pool equipment. It functions smoothly and is easy to adjust from position to position.

I wanted a valve I could rebuild and one that would not be too hard for my wife to open or close. I replaced the old Hayward valves with 1 1/2” pvc ball valves and they required a lot of effort to open and close, these do not. The port are also for 1 1/2” or 2” so you do not need couplings

Worked well. Good fit, no leakage.
