Product Overview
The Paramount In-Floor Water Valve 4-Port, 2", Black | 004302417603 is a replacement control water valve designed for compatible Paramount in-floor pool cleaning systems. This valve directs water flow between cleaning zones so the in-floor cleaning heads can pop up in sequence and move debris toward the pool drain or collection area.
A properly functioning water valve is essential for in-floor cleaning performance. If your cleaning heads are not cycling correctly, only one zone is operating, or the pool has uneven cleaning coverage, the water valve may need inspection, service, or replacement.
This model is a 4-port, 2" black Paramount water valve. Always confirm your existing valve configuration, port count, plumbing size, color, part number, and system compatibility before ordering.

Compatibility Guidance
The Paramount 004302417603 is intended for compatible Paramount in-floor pool cleaning systems that require a 4-port, 2" black water valve.
Before ordering, confirm the following:
You need part number 004302417603.
Your system uses a 4-port Paramount water valve.
Your plumbing size is compatible with a 2" valve.

Benefits
The Paramount 4-Port 2" In-Floor Water Valve helps restore proper zone control in compatible Paramount in-floor pool cleaning systems. By directing water flow between cleaning zones, the valve allows in-floor cleaning heads to activate in sequence and move debris more effectively across the pool surface.
Replacing a worn, damaged, or malfunctioning valve can improve cleaning coverage, restore head cycling, and help the system operate closer to its intended performance. This is especially important for pools that rely on in-floor cleaning as the primary cleaning method.
Recommended Use
Use this valve when a compatible Paramount in-floor cleaning system requires a 4-port, 2" water valve replacement.
Common signs that the valve may need service or replacement include:
Cleaning heads not cycling properly
Only one or some zones operating
Weak or uneven flow between zones
Valve gear/module failure
Visible valve damage or leaks
Poor cleaning coverage after pump/filter issues have been ruled out
If multiple heads are not popping up or water pressure is low across the system, inspect pump flow, filter pressure, clogged lines, valve internals, and cleaning heads before replacing the valve.
Installation Notes
This water valve should be installed by a qualified pool professional or experienced pool plumbing technician. Installation may involve plumbing disassembly, valve orientation, O-ring inspection, pressure testing, flow verification, and system startup testing.
Professional installation is recommended to ensure:
Correct valve model selection
Proper valve orientation
Correct plumbing connection
Leak-free installation
Proper valve operation
Correct cleaning zone sequencing
Adequate water pressure and flow
Compatibility with the existing in-floor cleaning system
Safe startup and troubleshooting after installation
Improper installation or incorrect part selection may cause leaks, poor cleaning performance, valve failure, zone sequencing problems, or plumbing damage.
Important Fitment Note
This item is a 4-port, 2" Paramount in-floor water valve. It is not a universal valve and should not be used as a substitute for a different port count, plumbing size, valve body, module type, or system style.
If your existing system uses a different Paramount valve configuration, a different replacement part may be required.
