Jandy Never Lube 2-Port Valve – 1 1/2"–2" Positive Seal Diverter (4724)
Flow control is one of the most important—and most overlooked—parts of a pool plumbing system. When valves leak internally or become hard to turn, water is misdirected, equipment efficiency drops, and automation timing becomes unreliable. The Jandy Never Lube 2-Port Valve (4724) is engineered to solve those problems with a true positive seal design that maintains tight shutoff and smooth operation without the need for ongoing lubrication.
This valve is designed for 1½" to 2" pool and spa plumbing, making it a versatile choice for circulation systems, spa bypasses, water features, solar heating loops, and return line control. The Never Lube design eliminates grease ports entirely, reducing maintenance while delivering long-term reliability in demanding pool environments.
This is a purpose-built pool valve—not a general plumbing diverter.
Why Valve Integrity Matters in Pool Systems
A diverter valve doesn’t just direct water—it protects the balance of the entire circulation system. Internal bypass, warped seals, or stiff rotation can lead to poor flow distribution and unnecessary strain on pumps and heaters.
A properly sealing 2-port valve helps:
-
Direct water exactly where it’s needed
-
Maintain consistent system pressure
-
Prevent internal bypass and flow loss
-
Ensure automation actuators operate accurately
The Jandy 4724 Never Lube Valve maintains a reliable internal seal even after years of exposure to chemicals, heat, and pressure cycles.
Positive Seal, No Lubrication Required
Unlike traditional valves that rely on greased O-rings, the Never Lube design uses precision-molded internal components that rotate smoothly without lubrication. This eliminates common maintenance issues like dried grease, stuck handles, or seal degradation caused by incompatible lubricants.
The valve handle turns smoothly with minimal effort, and the positive stop design ensures repeatable positioning—critical for automated systems and multi-function plumbing layouts.
Built for Professional Pool Plumbing
Jandy valves are widely used by pool builders and service professionals because they’re designed specifically for pool hydraulics—not adapted from irrigation or household plumbing. The 4724 valve body is built from durable, chemical-resistant materials that hold shape and sealing integrity under continuous operation.
For professionals, it means fewer callbacks.
For homeowners, it means dependable control without constant maintenance.
