Jandy 3406 NeverLube Valve - 1.5 inch to 2 inch Positive Seal

What This Part Is Used For
The Jandy 3406 NeverLube valve is a diverter valve used to route and isolate water flow in pool and spa plumbing. It is commonly installed on the equipment pad to control pool vs spa lines, isolate features, or shut off a circuit for service.

Why This Part Matters
When a valve cannot seal properly, it becomes difficult to isolate equipment and troubleshoot flow issues. Internal leakage can cause unwanted spillover, poor heater performance, or difficulty priming. A positive seal valve is used where reliable shutoff matters for service and system control.
