Jandy 4717, Black, 2.5x3 inches

Perfect fit, Jandy make quality stuff. I don't use cheap knock offs.

Diverse water as expected

No surprises here — the quality is excellent, just as expected from Jandy. It was easy to install and works perfectly with the actuator. Fit 2" pipes.

Well made and a perfect watertight seal in all positions.

For some reason my pool builder didn't put a shutoff valve on the main drain line. I didn't realize I needed one until I started learning about vacuuming the pool floor. Rather than waiting for the pool builder to have some time to install it for me, I ordered a Jandy valve and took on the job myself. It was a pretty simple job. The only challenge was figuring out a way to keep the water from the drain line away from the area where the new valve was to be installed. For that I used a balloon attached with a thin hose zip tied to it. By blocking the water, I was able to keep the work area clean and dry. When the cpvc cement dried, I simply let the air out of the balloon and pulled it out and put the valve back together. So far it has worked perfectly and my pool vac has so much more suction power now.
