Description

The 2" Gate Valve Slip x Slip is a heavy-duty PVC flow control valve designed for smooth, precise regulation of water flow in pond, water feature, and filtration plumbing systems. Unlike ball valves that open and close abruptly, gate valves allow gradual adjustment—ideal for dialing in pumps, waterfalls, and filter flow rates.

This valve features slip (socket) connections on both ends, allowing it to be permanently solvent-welded into 2" PVC plumbing lines for a secure, leak-free installation.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Why choose a Valterra 2" Slip Gate Valve for pond plumbing?
The Valterra 2" Slip Gate Valve is the industry standard for pond filtration due to its full-port design. Unlike ball valves, it provides a completely unobstructed waterway when open, reducing friction loss and ensuring your waterfall pump maintains maximum flow velocity.
How do I install a Slip x Slip connection?
A Slip x Slip connection requires standard 2-inch PVC pipe. To install, clean the pipe and valve socket with PVC primer, then apply PVC solvent cement and slide the pipe into the valve. This creates a permanent, high-strength bond for your pond plumbing manifold.
Is this valve suitable for gravity-fed systems?
Yes! Its unrestricted flow makes it ideal for gravity-fed filtration, such as connecting a pond bottom drain to a sieve or Nexus filter. It prevents the turbulence and head-loss associated with restrictive flow control valves.
Can the internal seals be repaired without cutting the pipe?
One of the best features of Valterra Gate Valves is their serviceable body. By removing the stainless steel bolts, you can pull the center assembly to replace Santoprene seals or the internal paddle without disturbing the glued PVC connections.
What materials are used in the construction of this valve?
The valve body is made of high-impact PVC, the paddle is durable polypropylene, and the hardware is corrosion-resistant stainless steel. It is designed to withstand 24/7 operation in Koi ponds and professional water features.
Is the handle easy to operate under pressure?
The Valterra 2-inch valve features a large, ergonomic T-handle. This provides the leverage needed to easily slide the internal gate even when the system is under pump pressure, allowing for precise flow regulation.
