Product Overview

The Pentair 270056 Diverter Assembly is a genuine OEM replacement diverter kit designed for select Pentair Compool 2-way and 3-way pool valves. This internal diverter assembly helps restore proper water flow control inside compatible diverter valve bodies.

This replacement part is commonly used when the valve handle turns but the internal diverter no longer moves correctly, water flow does not redirect properly, or the existing diverter is worn, cracked, or damaged.

Benefits

The Pentair 270056 helps restore flow control inside compatible Compool diverter valves. When the diverter inside the valve becomes worn or damaged, the valve may no longer direct water correctly, may bypass internally, or may fail to respond properly when the handle is turned.

Replacing the diverter assembly can save time and labor compared to cutting out and replumbing the entire valve body. Using a genuine Pentair replacement helps ensure correct fitment, rotation, and sealing inside approved Pentair Compool valve bodies.

Specifications

Customer-Facing Q&A

What does the Pentair 270056 fit?
The Pentair 270056 is commonly listed for Pentair Compool 2-way and 3-way diverter valves, especially 2 in. x 2.5 in. valve applications.

Is this a complete valve?
No. This is the internal diverter assembly only. It does not include the complete valve body, plumbing connections, lid, handle, screws, actuator, or unions unless specifically stated.

What comes with this assembly?
Current product data commonly lists the diverter body, spacer split ring, and O-ring. The spacer split ring is commonly referenced as 270038, and the O-ring is commonly referenced as 192039.

When should I replace the diverter assembly?
Replace it if the valve handle turns but water flow does not redirect correctly, if the valve bypasses internally, or if the diverter is cracked, worn, swollen, or damaged.

Can this save me from replacing the full valve?
Yes, if the valve body is still in good condition. Replacing the internal diverter can often restore valve function without cutting out and replumbing the entire valve body.

Will this fit every Pentair valve?
No. Pentair has multiple valve sizes and styles. Confirm the existing valve model, plumbing size, and diverter part number before ordering.

Can this be used with automated valves?
Yes, if the existing valve body is compatible and the actuator is controlling a supported Compool-style diverter valve. Confirm actuator and valve compatibility before ordering.

Confirm Before Ordering

Confirm your valve model, valve size, and existing diverter part number before purchasing. This part is commonly used with Pentair Compool 2-way and 3-way valves, with many listings describing 2 in. x 2.5 in. valve fitment. It is not universal for all Pentair, Jandy, Hayward, or generic diverter valves.

Always shut off the pump, relieve pressure, and confirm valve position before opening or servicing any pool plumbing valve.
