Valterra 6101 Slide Valve 1.5 in Slip X Slip Gate Valve

Product Description

The VALTERRA 6101 is a slide valve built around a 3-piece gate valve assembly for reliable flow control in plumbing systems. The slip-by-slip connection style accepts 1.5-inch pipe on both the inlet and outlet, making installation straightforward with standard solvent-weld fittings. The 3-piece design allows the valve body to be removed from the line without cutting pipe, which simplifies servicing and replacement. Licensed plumbers and pool or irrigation technicians install this valve where a dependable shut-off point is needed in moderate- to high-pressure plumbing circuits.

The 6101 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications, including pool and spa equipment lines, irrigation manifolds, and general water distribution systems where a gate-style slide valve is specified. Its slip connections are compatible with standard schedule PVC piping and fittings. The valve is appropriate wherever a compact, in-line isolation point is required along a 1.5-inch pipe run.

Key Features

• 3-piece gate valve assembly allows in-line servicing without pipe cutting
• 1.5-inch slip inlet and 1.5-inch slip outlet for standard solvent-weld installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation slide valve for 1.5-inch slip PVC plumbing systems in residential and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pool service technician. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before cutting into the line or removing an existing valve. Use appropriate PVC primer and solvent cement rated for the pipe schedule and application, following manufacturer cure times before restoring pressure. Ensure the valve is oriented correctly for the intended flow direction before solvent-welding the connections.
