Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if my spring is bad?
A: Signs include: handle feels loose or wobbly, water leaks between valve positions, handle doesn't click into position properly, or visible rust/corrosion on the old spring.
Q: Will this fit any multiport valve?
A: This spring is designed for 1-1/2" HiFlow-style multiport valves with a 1-3/8" OD spring cap. Measure your old spring before ordering.
Q: Do I need special tools to replace it?
A: Basic hand tools — typically just a Phillips screwdriver to remove the handle and cap screws. The spring sits under the handle cap.
Q: Does this come with the handle or cap?
A: No, this is the compression spring only. If you need the complete top assembly, see our 270068 valve top assembly listing.
Q: How long does this spring typically last?
A: With stainless steel construction, 3-5 years in normal pool chemical environments. Replace whenever you service the spider gasket.
