Product details
Description
The Pentair 263042 Check Valve is an essential plumbing component engineered to maintain optimal flow and prevent water backflow in residential swimming pools and spa systems. Designed with a 2-port straight configuration, this high-performance valve seamlessly integrates with 2-inch inside slip connections or 2.5-inch outside slip plumbing.
Constructed from durable, high-temperature CPVC, it stands up effortlessly to harsh chemical environments and elevated operating temperatures. Featuring a clear polycarbonate cover lid, pool owners can easily perform fast visual inspections of the internal flapper and system operation without dismantling the plumbing.
The innovative lube-free, PTFE-coated seal ensures a dependable, positive shut-off while eliminating the need for regular internal lubrication, minimizing ongoing maintenance. Rated to withstand pressures up to 150 psi, this robust check valve effectively stops water from draining backward into the pool pump when the equipment sits lower than the water level, protecting vital components like solar heating setups, filters, and chlorinators from reverse flow hazards.
How to use
- Ensure the pool pump system is completely turned off and depressurized before installation.
- Align the 2-port straight check valve with your 2-inch or 2.5-inch PVC or CPVC plumbing lines, observing the directional flow arrow stamped on the body.
- Use appropriate solvent cement to secure the slip connections.
- Allow the solvent to cure fully before restarting the pool pump and inspecting the clear cover for proper flapper movement and zero leakage.

FAQs
What plumbing size are you connecting it to (2 inch or 2.5 inch)?
The Pentair 263042 check valve is versatile, accommodating 2-inch inside slip connections or 2.5-inch outside slip plumbing configurations. Ensure your existing pool or spa pipe measurements match these specifications prior to installation.
How does a Pentair check valve work?
A Pentair check valve uses an internal flapper mechanism that opens automatically under forward water pressure from the pump. When the pump shuts off, gravity and reverse pressure push the PTFE-coated seal shut, preventing water from flowing backward.
What is a check valve on a pool pump?
A pool pump check valve is a one-way directional valve installed in the plumbing line. It keeps water primed inside the pump basket and prevents drained water from reversing direction when the system is deactivated.
