Has anyone used the large size Jandy diverter valves (4718/4719). I don’t see them mentioned anywhere. I have 3” piping and two 3hp pumps for my infinity edge and need new shutoff valves. One pump has an old Praher gate valve that leaks due to an old cracked gasket and the other has PVC ball valves that are difficult to turn. I want to replace with a good readily available pool valve that can be maintained with replacement parts if something breaks. The Jandy 4718 looks perfect, but I don’t see any mention of it in this or other online forums so I’m concerned that it’s an odd ball that will be discontinued at some point.
Also, how does anyone recommend transitioning from the 3” pipe to the 2” Whisperflo inlet? My options are:
1. Use the 4718 to step down from 3” to 2.5” then use a 2.5” to 2” spigot coupling. 2. Use 3” on either side of the valve and a separate 3” to 2” coupling.
3. Use a 3” to 2” coupling at the valve.
Thanks for the help! I realize there are many ways to do things, but I want to ensure I’m not forgetting maintenance and future repair. My Whisperflo has unions.
