Shower Arm Diverter Valve G1/2 (Brushed Nickel)

We had a diverter valve on our master-bath shower but it had one of those pull up control valves which was difficult to pull up . . . especially when one's hands are wet and soapy. After a short time the pull-up lever got so stiff (probably with corrosion) that it was impossible to engage to divert the water from the shower-head to the hand-held shower. My hubby went and bought a replacement for it from a local home improvement store but when we took it out of its package we realized the diverter had hardly any weight to it as though it were made out of plastic - so back it went. I saw and ordered this diverter and we were very impressed when we received it as it has some heft to it which assured us it was brass and would last. It was easy to install and works beautifully, no leaks and is so easy to use, no more struggling trying to pull up on a slippery chrome cylindrical diverter that was most likely corroded shut making it impossible to use. We like this diverter valve so much we intend to order another one for the other bath in our home.

Bought this product to enable me to add a handheld shower wand to my parents current shower head. The product is fantastic. I am a 58 year old woman with NO plumbing experience. I watched some of the videos and by the time the diverted arrived, I was confident that I could do it myself. I was able to install it within 10 minutes with no problems. The diverted is sturdy, heavy, and well made. I thought that I might have to tweak it with more Teflon tape or rubber washers to prevent leaks. That was not the case. It worked PERFECTLY. I also installed the Handheld shower wand I purchased from Amazon and installed that at the same time. It was also sturdy, heavy, and well made. No leaks from either item. If I was able to do this with no help from anybody, anyone can do it. I’m pretty sure the quality of the products contributed to the ease of installation. Extra rubber washers were also included in case of a slight leak that might result from removing an extremely old shower head and reinstalling it. I used the extra washers, just in case. Also, make sure to remove any old Teflon tape before applying the new Teflon tape. I also removed the restricter from my parents old shower head. They said their old showerhead, which had no pressure to it for the past twenty years, nearly knocked them down. They loved it. I read about the restricter while researching shower heads. There are plenty of videos showing you how to do this. It takes about 5 seconds. I highly recommend this product. I was so impressed with the diverter and the handheld shower wand I purchased for my parents that 5 days later, I purchased the same two items for myself.

Excellent item that solved my issue for my shower. Got in without any issue & fit perfectly.

Excellent well made solid brass product. The oil rubbed finish looks great to match the rest of my bath fixtures.

Easy to install and solid quality

I installed this brass shower arm diverter valve to add a handheld shower head alongside my existing fixed shower head, and it worked exactly as expected. It connects right between the shower arm and shower head, so installation was quick and didn’t require any major plumbing work. The solid brass construction gives it a sturdy feel, and these types of diverters are designed to last longer and resist leaks compared to plastic versions. The 3-way function is very convenient you can switch between the main shower head, the handheld, or use both at the same time. Just keep in mind that when using both, the water pressure is split between them. The control lever turns smoothly and makes it easy to switch settings during a shower. Overall, it’s a simple and effective upgrade if you want more flexibility in your shower setup without replacing the entire system.

I bought this after buying the MODONA diverter. That valve worked but impeded flow by quite a bit and my attempt to widen the holes with a drill compromised the seal. which in that case worked by a valve stem in an open chamber being attached to a pad that occulted the outflow holes. MODONA also is one piece and simply rotates around the shower spout pipe when being tightened; MINGOR has a captive nut that doesn't put the orientation of the valve on the pipe. Like MODONA, every part of this I can see is brass. This valve works differently. I'm actually not sure how, because I haven't taken it apart, but there's no visible movement in the output holes when the valve moves. There was a negative review depicting a round discharge hole (the input hole is the hex-shape for a Allen wrench you see in the product photo) and as you see, the one I have has a binocular-shaped discharge hole. The other output hole that is connected to the showerhead is the same. Another question you may have like I did, is whether G 1/2" is the same as IPS 1/2". "G" is also known as BSPP. In this chart I found, IPS (listed as NPSH) is not exactly the same but very similar; close enough that it fits. On that matter, this tightened more solidly to the shower spout than the MODONA or for that matter the existing showerhead. It included tape (which you really shouldn't use for IPS threads anyway, the yellow pipe dope you can see in the photo was there to seal the MODONA and wasn't necessary for this). So now what you're really reading about: flow. How much is it? In this case, it did restrict flow- but less than MODONA which was a serious compromise on performance. Also, whatever the mechanism is, it seems to accommodate dual-flow very well. Overall an excellent value and product.

This thing is awesome! Old Anna Bath two head system had the diverter go out after about 6 years. The original one was plastic. This new one though, this thing is solid metal. The lever rotation is smooth instead of clucky like the old one too. I had to use some of the extra included washers and stacked them for the straight forward shower head, other wise it would bottom out before seating. This wasn't bad, because it allowed me to fine tune the gap for asthetic reasons. I bought a longer handle hose to put it on the opposite side of the shower. That hose threaded on without needing to add washers, because the female part was shallow instead of deep like the head. Included Teflon tape saved me from digging in the garage, nice. Had it done in 5 minutes. High quality. I did not notice any loss if pressure, and did not expect too. You can pull the reducer to increase flow, but it already flows a TON of water, so I would leave it in.

the internal parts are brass and body is heavy in weight, the diverter lever is smooth in movement, impressed with this item

Works great!

I could not find this specific one anywhere around here and this product was just a perfect match for my current setup. No issue to install as i was worried about it being cheap but it was not

Efter att ha läst recensioner för många produkter så verkade denna vara av bra kvalitet, vilket 99% av övriga utbudet på Amazon inte verkar vara med läckage mm. Den läcker inte trots att jag endast dragit åt den med handkraft och kvaliteten verkar vara på topp. En stjärna dras av för att den var lite dyr (nästan €60) och så känns det galet att beställa något som är Made in China och få det levererat från USA till Europa. Åtminstone såg det ut som om det kom från USA.

Muy buena calidad por el precio, llego rápido
