All modern 3-way valves, even most aftermarket ones, are CPVC. Stick with brands like Jandy, Waterway, Pentair, Hayward for best results.

Was able to find these in stock.. https://lesliespool.com/263028-three-port-diverter-valve-with-2-pvc-pipe---grey/620948.html

Note that grey is usually PVC and black is CPVC, so double check.

@JamesW- It's grey.

Grey is PVC.

Black is CPVC.

Hi @JamesW, so is a PVC diverter something I shouldn't be using? b/c that's what I currently have in hand. TY!

 

[JamesW]

It's OK to use.
