Have any of you seen a Y valve like the one shown in the Pentair Intellivalve manual like this? If so, can you provide a mfg and/or p/n?

I think it is a figment of an illustrators imagination.
No such Y valve is in the Pentair catalog...

Yeah, I know. I looked there first and thought maybe some other mfg might have such an item. I have an application that could benefit from such a valve.

It looks like Compool used to make a Y-Valve, but it is no longer available.
Pentair acquired Compool.
The above diagram shows early Y-valve shipments used with the Compool LX22 solar control.
It had a reversible plug which is no longer used.
The LX220 replaced the reversible plug with a three position switch on the rear of the Valve Operator (VOR).
If the valve is installed backwards [reverse staged], simply change the switch position to cause the valve to rotate in the opposite direction.
The 2 inch Y-valve is no longer available as an option.
Current SolarAttic Solar Pool Heater shipments are shipped with a 2 inch T valve.
Its output ports are 90 degrees from the input port [forming a T] as shipped and can be adjusted so that any of the three ports can function as an input port by staging the valve differently.

SolarAttic | Solar Pool Heater | Early SolarAttic Solar Pool Heaters Used a Y-Valve and Compool LX22.
SolarAttic solar pool heater shipments in the late 1980s and early 1990s shipped with Compool LX22 solar control which used a Y-Valve. This page illustrates the Y-Valve

Yep, that appears to be it. Too bad they no longer remain in production.
