Hayward ball valves are engineered for high flow efficiency and are rated for pressures up to 50 psi. The diverter union design includes a convenient dial handle, allowing for easy flow control and a clear visual indication of whether the valve is set to filtration or waste. Teflon seats ensure smooth operation while providing a reliable, leak-resistant seal. Additionally, the union end connectors help maintain precise alignment of the ball, contributing to consistent performance and long-term durability.
