The knob is the user-facing actuator component, not the internal valve diverter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"margin:16px 0 5px;padding:0;\"\u003eHow This Component Fits the System\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-top:0;\"\u003eWater-handling equipment depends on sound seals, properly matched threads, and undamaged mating surfaces to remain leak-resistant. A replacement fitting or sealing component is only effective when its dimensions, material, connection type, and location agree with the original design. Seemingly similar plumbing parts can use different threads or face profiles, so measuring the removed part and reviewing the manufacturer diagram is often more dependable than matching by sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck the shaft connection and exact valve model before ordering; three-port valves may use different knob designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"margin:16px 0 5px;padding:0;\"\u003eReplacement and Maintenance Considerations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-top:0;\"\u003eA well-planned repair includes inspecting the condition of the neighboring assembly before reinstalling the replacement. Look for worn mating surfaces, loose retainers, damaged connections, corrosion, or other conditions relevant to the component being serviced. Recommission the system using the manufacturer procedure rather than assuming that installing a new part alone resolves the original operating problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor this particular listing, the ordering reference is OV3-200-1. The identifying description is Praher 3-Port Diverter Valve Knob (OV3-200-1). Matching the original unit and the manufacturer parts illustration is particularly important where closely related models have different mounting or electrical requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"margin:16px 0 5px;padding:0;\"\u003ePractical Features and Service Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports repair of a local connection without replacing the entire equipment assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrect fit helps minimize the risk of leaks after equipment is returned to service.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect mating surfaces for cracking, deposits, or damage before installing new parts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not force incompatible threads or overtighten plastic components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFollow the applicable assembly instructions for seal placement and tightening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressure-test and check the repaired joint under normal conditions after servicing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Praher Plastics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49882356613275,"sku":"OV3-200-1","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1751\/9347\/files\/noimage_351f2111-1a47-4dd6-a624-dc88da5b8a5e.jpg?v=1792629200","url":"https:\/\/www.bathandspaparts.com\/products\/ov3-200-1","provider":"Bath and Spa Parts Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
