Intex 11872 Replacement Dual Split Hose Plunger Valve Pool Part Accessory Attachment for Above Ground Pool and Pool Pump Maintenance

This saves so much time when you are doing maintenance to your pool. The design is easy to install and fit my Intex pool and sand filter hoses perfectly. It's heavy duty plastic and knob turns with ease stopping outward flow of water from both outlets on pool . I used an intex sand filter that was purchased separate from the pool and had no issues with the fit. There is no leaks and knob turns easily.

Makes it easy to shut off both returns without having to put plugs in the inlets. I used it on a BestWay pool setup and work's perfect. One tip I will give; The valve has a threaded side and 2 sides with o-rings that have slip connections for the inlet hoses. When I initially connected I didn't pay much attention to the o-rings on the valve. The hoses have a little indention that the o-ring needs to sit in perfectly. If you just jam the hose on, the o-ring will get bent out of shape and not sit in the indention on the hose. So when you're putting the hoses on the valve be sure to move them slowly side to side as you're sliding them on and make sure the o-ring stays in that indention to seal properly. Otherwise it will certainly leak. Installed properly I give it six stars 👍

My pool came with the 300 GpH pump and died. I upgraded to the 1500 GpH pump and added this to my set up to make it easier to change my filter. It perfectly stops the waterflow when in the locked position allowing me to change my filter with ease and no mess.

Not sure why the pool manufacturer would not include this in their package. Provides an easy way to cut off your water supply from the pool in order to clean external skimmer or do other maintenance work. So easy to install, fits perfectly and works like a champ. Highly recommend.

Works as intended, just wish that Intex didn’t make their accessories so cheap that new ones have to be bought every summer.

When changing/cleaning filters on these type of Intex pools it comes as a challenge due to the fact they do not come with valves to stop water from coming into the pump. I always had to hold the pump, the nut, the cap and the filter above the water level. And then also tighten the nut n cap back down while doing this. All to be done again in 5 minutes after I cleaned or changed the filter. No more now with this valve. This allows me to shut off water from the exchanges or intake sides. I did have to buy the adapter for pump and also a hose. See photo. I also bought a rubber plug for the return side so water would not come down into housing from that line. I only found out today that in the pump there must be a check valve on this side because the water does not fill the housing up from the return side. So I do not need a valve or a plug on the return. People complaining about this leaking one must know how the seal works. You can not tighten the nut when the valve is closed or open. Must be in the middle before tightening the nut that holds valve together. I made sure mine was tight before install and all is good. No leaks.

Perfect solution for connecting the sand pump to our 14' pool that came with a whimpy cartridge filter. Since my pool hose openings are still 1.25" this allowed me to add a stop valve and transition from the two 1.25" hoses to the single 1.5" intake hose to the pump. Zero complaints and our pool is finally crystal clear.

Used on intex pool to connect 1¼ outlets to 1½ pump hose. Flow has increase a ton since switching the hose connected to the pump to 1½ and the inlet valve to 1½ meaning more gph and better filtering. It seems to be of good quality and is made with heavy duty plastic which looks and feels sturdy. It fit for my needs well and makes cleaning filter sooooo much easier since I no longer have to hold the pump above the outlet level to perform maintenance. Also, FYI, IF the value part leaks, simply tighten the nut. I thought this would be common sense but apparently, it's not going by other reviews. Both values I purchased leaked leaked at the nut at hook up. The nuts were loose so it wasn't a huge surprised. I tightened them (by hand at a whopping 105lbs so if I can - you can) and SUPRISE no more leak. They've been on all season and have preformed great so far!

Se ve bien, sólo falta ver cuánto tiempo dura

I took the chance and ordered for my soft sided above ground bestway pool we purchased from Costco. I can confirm the valve is a direct fit. Everything is tight, the screw threads fit perfect. This is a great addition to be able to close a valve in order to clean the filter cartridge. A+.

Added these to my bestway pool so I don’t have to put the stoppers into the tubes when changing the filter. Just a quick turn and blocks the water. Good quality and easy to install!

Seamless with intex system. It’s great to be able to stop the water flow. No more struggling to plug the hole from the inside.

Good product, just make sure the top is sealed properly. Mine was leaky but tightening the top fixed it.
