CALIFORNIA WARNING
This 2" gate valve with heater union tailpiece is praised for its space-saving design and perfect fit. Customers said it's "exactly what it said it was" with fast shipping. However, some reported issues with gasket fit, split nut threading, and minor shaft leaks initially. Most found it effective for heater repairs with excellent customer service support.

Fit perfect, exactly what it said it was.
When I found this combo gate and coupling I knew it was perfect - space saving and price saving, Best news, it showed up NEXT DAY by noon for $3.95 shipping (we are in same state) so thats why - but it just doubled down why I spend my money here.
One word- OUTSTANDING!! I felt the interaction was on the rate side these days. Every one was product @smart and friendly and funny. Only option for me!!
Great gate valve selection, ordered to version that would attach directly to heater, so one less fitting required in my limited space. Only downside was had to buy separate split nut after I found my original had shrunk and would not tighten on new valve threads.
was very disappointed that the 2 inch gasket didn't fit like it should have,it did not sit in the grove flush. Had to heat it with a heat gun to stretch gasket to fit. It also was a struggle getting the splitnut for the heater to grab correctly to tighten
Easy glue in and slip as well as heaterside seal. However water started leaking at gate slide shaft immediately after sliding open position. Applied lube to shaft and after a few open close movement stopped leaking.
I cut off the defective part and replaced it with this gate valve and no more leak!!! This one-piece should prevent joint leakage.
My old one was leaking and needed replacing. When I say ""old"", I mean really old. There was no exact replacement but there was a very helpful guy just a phone call away who told me exactly what I could do to make it work. And it did work! Thank you, helpful guy!
Valve did not work at all. The threads on the valve were not the same as the split nut on the heater. I tried 5 different split nuts and none of them worked right. The only way to get them to thread at all was to loosen the screws on the split nut and in the end there was no way to properly tighten the nut so as not to leak. I do not know why this happened because the valve was exactly the same as the one that I removed and it threaded on and off just fine.
Gate Valve for the heater.
Spa Depot is my go to spot for repair. I recently had some weather and rodent damage to my HT and it was out of commission for some time. This summer I started repairs and was able to get all the parts needed for a full rework of valves, pumps and fittings. It is now back in shape and ready for use
I was pleased to find this part (as well as the others) were exactly as described and fit perfectly Shipping was fast
Fits perfect. I called customer service to make sre this was the correct part. They were very helpful and assured me it was. Also the shipping was much faster than stated at checkout. Thanks SpaDepot.com.
