Benefits
The Blue Square 1145120 Adapter Kit helps pool professionals update compatible Paramount in-floor cleaning systems without abandoning the existing cleaning zone layout. When an older Paramount 6-port valve becomes unreliable, this adapter kit supports conversion to Blue Square’s replacement valve platform.
A properly functioning water valve is critical for in-floor cleaning performance. It directs water to each zone in sequence, powering pop-up heads and helping move debris toward the drain or collection area. Replacing an outdated or failing valve can improve circulation, cleaning consistency, and overall system reliability.
This kit is especially useful for pools where the cleaning heads are still usable but the valve assembly needs to be modernized or replaced.

Included Components
- 1 × Blue Square P6 valve adapter kit
- Adapter components required for compatible Paramount 2" 6-port valve conversion
Note: Final system setup may require additional Blue Square valve components, O-rings, clamps, plumbing fittings, reducers, or related parts depending on the existing equipment pad configuration.
Installation Notes
This adapter kit is intended for professional installation by a pool technician familiar with Paramount and Blue Square in-floor cleaning systems. Before installation, verify that the existing Paramount system is a 2" 6-port water valve configuration.
If the existing system uses 1.5" plumbing, reducers or additional fittings may be required. Proper plumbing alignment is important to prevent leaks, flow restrictions, and valve stress. After installation, the system should be tested to confirm that each cleaning zone indexes properly and that pop-up heads are operating with adequate pressure.
For best results, inspect the existing valve base, plumbing manifold, O-rings, clamps, pump flow, and cleaning head condition before completing the conversion.
