1.5\" diverter valve 3-way

Joe_10

I have a System with an older Ortega valve manufacturing that needs a set of gaskets. It is 1.5" size valve. I believe that Ortega no longer exists after a lengthy search on the web. I would like to find a set of gaskets for it. If none are available I will replace it however my local suppliers look at me funny when I ask for a diverter valve in that size. It is used to switch between solar heated storage and boiler backup. Does anyone know where I can get one of equivalent type.
Thank You

You might

Ask for "A three way valve" that is a valve with three ports in it. They are made with a ball type, a cock type, and a globe (washer) type. They are not Unusal but you may have to have one brought in from a manufacturer. If you have to move it a lot, the ball type or globe type would be best. If it is a set & forget thing the cock may well be less expensive. Also there are automatic ones that could be used on a solar application where if the sun was "ON" the valve would be in a position for that operation. and you would just not have to DYI . bigugh

Motorized diverters

What manufacturers would I look to. Everything that I have found is 1" or less in size or plastic.
