Jandy Neverlube 2 Port Valve | 4716
Precision Flow Control Without Maintenance or Lubrication
Reliable water flow control is critical to the performance, efficiency, and longevity of any pool system. The Jandy NeverLube® 2-Port Valve (4716) is engineered to deliver smooth, dependable operation without the need for lubrication, ongoing adjustment, or seasonal maintenance. Designed specifically for swimming pool plumbing systems, this valve allows precise control of water direction while eliminating the common failures associated with traditional lubricated valves.
Whether used to isolate equipment, redirect flow, or control circulation paths, the Jandy NeverLube valve is trusted by pool builders, service technicians, and equipment manufacturers for its durability and long-term reliability. Once installed, it simply works—season after season.
What a 2-Port Pool Valve Does
A 2-port valve is used to control or shut off water flow between two plumbing lines. In pool systems, this is commonly used to:
-
Isolate equipment for service
-
Control suction or return flow
-
Shut off specific plumbing runs
-
Redirect circulation paths
The Jandy NeverLube 2-Port Valve accomplishes this with a precision-machined diverter that provides a positive seal while allowing smooth handle operation.

Why NeverLube® Technology Matters
Traditional pool valves rely on lubricated seals that dry out, swell, or seize over time—especially in high-heat, chemically aggressive environments. The NeverLube design eliminates these problems entirely.
Key NeverLube advantages include:
-
No lubrication required—ever
-
Smooth handle rotation without binding
-
Long-lasting internal seals
-
Reduced risk of leaks
-
Consistent operation over time
This makes the Jandy NeverLube valve ideal for both new construction and retrofit applications where long-term reliability is essential.
Built Specifically for Pool Plumbing Systems
The Jandy 4716 valve is designed for pool and spa environments—not general household plumbing. Its materials and construction are selected to withstand:
-
Constant water flow
-
Chlorinated and saltwater chemistry
-
Outdoor heat and UV exposure
-
High system pressures
Unlike generic plumbing valves, the NeverLube valve maintains its sealing integrity even under continuous operation, making it a preferred choice for critical pool system applications.
For full plumbing system builds or upgrades, this valve pairs naturally with fittings and unions from our Pool Plumbing Parts Collection.
Smooth, Positive Flow Control
The internal diverter of the Jandy NeverLube 2-Port Valve provides precise flow control without excessive resistance. This allows technicians to easily adjust flow paths during service or system balancing without stressing the valve body or seals.
Benefits of the internal design include:
-
Consistent sealing across the full rotation range
-
Reduced wear on internal components
-
Clear on/off or directional control
-
Reliable isolation of plumbing runs
This precision helps protect downstream equipment such as pumps, heaters, and filters from unnecessary stress.
Common Applications for the Jandy 4716 Valve
This valve is commonly installed in:
-
Pump suction and discharge lines
-
Filter isolation loops
-
Heater bypass assemblies
-
Water feature control circuits
-
Equipment pad plumbing layouts
Its compact design allows it to fit neatly into tight equipment pads while still providing full functionality.
When servicing or upgrading an equipment pad, it’s often installed alongside valves found in our Jandy Never Lube Valves.
Installation Considerations
Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper alignment, sealing, and long-term performance.
General installation notes:
-
Verify pipe size compatibility
-
Ensure proper glue joints and cure time
-
Align handle orientation for clear operation
-
Pressure test system after installation
Once installed, the valve requires no seasonal servicing or lubrication, reducing long-term maintenance requirements.
Protects Equipment and Simplifies Service
Proper flow control reduces strain on pool equipment by allowing systems to be isolated during service without draining the entire pool. This protects components such as filters, heaters, and salt systems while reducing downtime.
For complete system protection, the Jandy NeverLube valve works well with filtration equipment from our Pool Filters Collection.
Built for Long-Term Reliability
The Jandy NeverLube valve is designed for years of dependable operation. Its internal materials resist swelling, shrinking, and degradation—common failure points in lesser valves.
Advantages include:
-
Reduced service calls
-
Lower lifetime maintenance cost
-
Improved system reliability
-
Peace of mind for pool owners and service professionals
Once installed, it becomes a “set-and-forget” component of the pool system.

The Jandy NeverLube 2-Port Valve is suitable for:
-
Residential in-ground pools
-
Commercial pool systems
-
New construction builds
-
Equipment pad retrofits
-
Service replacements
Its proven performance makes it one of the most widely specified valves in the pool industry.
