Delta Faucet Shower Arm Diverter for Hand Shower, Chrome

I replaced the water diverter that I got from Home Depot with this higher quality DELTA water diverter. Naturally I have a shower head on one end of the diverter, and a handheld shower head with 6 foot hose on the other output. You can switch between either the shower head, or the handheld shower head. As with other diverters, you can also send 50% to the shower head, and 50% to the handheld shower head, or any other percent division. This water diverter comes with a thick rubber washer on the water source end of the diverter. This thick rubber washer does not leak, unlike my other Home Depot model. It is overall well designed, and I am 100% happy with it's functionality and finish. The diverter lever is smooth and effortless to turn 90 degrees. All threads are well formed, and the threaded pipe lips are all smooth, not sharp, which helps to prevent small water leaks. I currently have attached the shower head and handheld shower head hose to these threads, without using "Teflon tape", and there does not seem to be any leaks. The water diverter input side with the thick rubber washer is connected without any Teflon Tape, and it does not leak either. Roger Louie 9-4-2020

Seems cheap because it's not that heavy, but it looks nice and has worked very well for several months so far.

Not one to write reviews but this item impressed me...no flow restriction, in fact I immediately noticed a dramatic increase in volume and force of the water compared to the Glacier Bay it replaced. It helps of course that it is paired with a very old (1930s ?) American Standard showerhead I found in my grandmother's cellar when she died back in 1991- from the good old days before water restriction was a thing- but again, that plus this is way better than that plus the Glacier Bay one. Also, the diverter lever works smoothly and I much prefer it to the "pull up on a knob" type, which was clunky. Lastly, I expected that I would need to reinstall it once I picked up some Teflon tape, but to my surprise there is zero leaking as is. Happy customer.

After reading negative reviews on rain fall/handheld shower head sets with flimsy plastic diverters, I was looking for a metal diverter valve to put together my own rain fall shower combo. My Set-Up: - A-Flow™ Luxury Rain 8" Square Stainless Steel Shower Head with Acrylic Sparkling Clear Glass http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SA4MO7K - KES® DP501B Bath FIVE Function Handheld Shower Head http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LUUBUX0 My first choice was the fancy looking KES PV4 diverter. Sadly, I received a faulty unit, not once but twice. So there seems to be a design flaw internally - it has a swivel joint right below the water in connector, which this DELTA unit does not have. Apparently, that swivel joint is the KES' weak point. So I decided to give this one a try. I'm glad I did. In comparison with the KES, this DELTA diverter is smaller, however, it is solid. I had no issues installing it. I'm deducting a star for water pressure and the fact that this valve doesn't accommodate using both shower fixtures simultaneously. I have excellent pressure in my house and neither of my fixtures has restrictors in them. This diverter does cut down on pressure a bit. When switching from rain fall to handheld, at the mid point it simply doesn't have enough oomph to put out enough water to each shower head. It doesn't bother me enough to look for a replacement. In fact, I may be buying a second one of these for my second bathroom. If you have weak water pressure at your house, this might not be the best choice. Otherwise, go for it.

I bought this to replace a plastic diverter that failed. It's heavy chrome plated brass and I expect it will last longer than me. The diverter valve is smooth and easy to turn to activate my handheld shower. Great quality.

Nice diverter, heavy duty, well constructed, excellent quality. Should last years.

Helpful at having multiple outlets at one shower head.

Works great connecting my sprayer to the shower head. No leaks.

I purchased this Delta 2-way valve to mount behind an existing shower head in a built-in shower, and connected the 2nd outlet to a KES I3250 Extended Length Replacement 100-Inch OR 2.5-Meter Stainless Steel Interlock Handheld Shower Hose, Chrome and a Hiendure 304 Stainless Steel Square Handheld Shower Head Spray Face 4*3.15 Inches, Chrome . Delta plumbing fixtures have a well-earned reputation for quality, and this valve is certainly a good example. It threaded easily onto the existing shower-head pipe at head height, and the shower head and stainless hose fitted on nicely, without the need for excessive force to make watertight connections. Neither the connections or the valve are showing any signs of leaking after months of regular use. This is not the least expensive 2-way valve available, but its been problem free, and feels as if it will give years of good service. It's a product I'm very happy with, and would buy again if I do another similar installation.

No es plástico lo que ya es muy bueno, la válvula funciona con facilidad y seguridad.

A válvula tem excelente acabamento e funciona muito bem. Consegue chavear com facilidade e não vaza nada mesmo com muita pressão no chuveiro.

Works really well diverting water from hand-held shower to fixed shower head and back as needed.

muy buen acabado!
