    What valve do I have?

    Hi Everyone, I have a 2007 Zodiac Cadet 310 with a solid wood floor. I'm 95% sure I have boston valves based on comparing pictures and diagrams online, but I'd really appreciate some help from a Zodiac pro out there before I buy a gauge. Can you please confirm this? Thanks, Jon
