Description

The Praher OV2-2010 is a two port CPVC valve with slip socket connections, 2″ inside diameter and 2.5″ outside diameter. Praher describes it as a 2-way diverter valve, so treat the two descriptions as the same body.

Built for a sun exposed equipment pad

The lid is a high heat design made not to warp in direct sun, which is where most pool valves fail first. Underneath, the shaft runs in a double o-ring seal instead of a single ring, and the rotor seal is permanently lubricated and rated to exceed the 3000 dry cycle requirement, meaning it survives being cycled dry far longer than a valve that depends on water for lubrication.

Chemistry

The body is a chlorine, acid and ozone resistant construction, so it stands up to sanitizer and to ozone injected upstream, both of which age ordinary plastics.

Before you order

Check the pipe you are tying into. This is a slip socket valve, sized 2″ inside and 2.5″ outside, and the fit has to be right before you commit to solvent welding it into the run.
