    Help me identify this valve

    Glad I could help you. You could contact Pentair and see if you can change the upper part of the valve with one of their newer models.

    Small Crack in Heater header

    It unscrews counter clockwise. If you take a look at the picture in the second link I gave you, you will see the threads and an o-ring. You won't be able to remove the part by hand. You will need to remove the silicone and use a wrench to remove the part. Here's a really good picture of the...

    Special PVC Elbows For Pools?

    The Lowes where I live only sells Charlotte and Lasco fittings. The Charlotte fittings they carry are for DWV only. The OP may have gotten fittings that were for DWV only. A DWV fitting will only fit 3/4 of an inch on a pipe, while a fitting for pressure will fit 1 1/4 inch on a pipe.

    Update* Why is it so hard to glue pvc pipe to a jandy valve!

    Re: Why is it so hard to glue pvc pipe to a jandy valve! The valve was disassembled before gluing. I'm wondering if I should use orange cpvc instead of the universal stuff.

    Update* Why is it so hard to glue pvc pipe to a jandy valve!

    Re: Why is it so hard to glue pvc pipe to a jandy valve! As hard as it is to dry fit the pipe, I doubt just using glue would allow the pipe to fully seat into the fitting.

    Update* Why is it so hard to glue pvc pipe to a jandy valve!

    Re: Why is it so hard to glue pvc pipe to a jandy valve! I've ruined three so far, so I give up. Third time I didn't let the primer dry and immediately put the cement on the pipe and valve. It would only go half way in and refuse to go any further.

    Update* Why is it so hard to glue pvc pipe to a jandy valve!

    Re: Why is it so hard to glue pvc pipe to a jandy valve! I don't have a problem with gluing pvc to pvc, that always goes perfectly. For me, pvc to cpvc is a pain.

    Update* Why is it so hard to glue pvc pipe to a jandy valve!

    Trying to glue sch 40 pvc pipe to a jandy never lube valve. Why must you have to sand the Crud out of the pipe just to get it to fit properly. If I don't sand the pipe it won't fully seat into the fitting when glued.
