Gate Valve
Hot tub gate valves, also known as slice valves or isolation valves, are used to isolate a component from water. They are installed in some spas to facilitate servicing the spa without needing to drain it. The valve allows a technician to remove a pump without draining the hot tub.
One valve commonly used in spa plumbing is the gate valve. Gate valves either allow water to flow through a pipe or completely stop water flowing through a pipe. Gate valves consist of a handle, stem, and gate. Turning the valve’s handle rotates the stem which lowers or raises the gate to shut off or allow water flow.
These slice valves come in a variety of sizes to connect with 1, 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2, and even 3-inch plumbing. The most common are 1 1/2 and 2-inch plumbing connections.
However, it’s important to note that over the years, the disc inside the housing of these valves has rubber gaskets around the edges that can deteriorate and no longer stop the flow of water effectively. This can lead to leaks and other issues. Therefore, when working on a hot tub more than a few years old, it’s often recommended not to use slice valves to avoid draining the hot tub.
