Parts Desk Insights
Best Use Case: Great for replacing or adding a two-way diverter in a marine sanitation/waste line when you need one pump to route flow to two different destinations.
Common Issues: If you experience sluggish or sticking operation, confirm the valve is installed with correct hose alignment and that mating hose connections are fully seated—PTFE lubricated action relies on proper orientation and clean, properly fitted ports. Also review the surrounding plumbing layout to ensure the diverter ports are used as intended in your system.
