Review on πŸ’§ Polished Chrome Brass Shower Arm Diverter Valve - Universal G1/2 3 Way Bathroom System Component Replacement Part for Handheld and Fixed Spray Heads by Kevin Webb

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Adaptive positioning, smooth control and generous spray

Control lever smoothly and easily switches flow from handheld shower to handheld shower. It's even better if a small amount of sanitary grease gets into the moving parts. I measured the flow rate of the water without the shower head attached which was over 3 GPM. at our house pressure of 60 psi. The maximum flow rate listed for new showerheads is 2.5 GPM in the US and 1.8 GPM in California, so this valve is more than adequate. coming out of the wall) uses a freely rotating threaded ring. Because the collar is tightened on the shower arm, the main valve faucet can still be rotated to any position. You can position the control lever to the left or right of the valve. I wanted the lever to be visible when standing outside the shower stall. (Other brands don't use a clamp mount. Their valve body screws directly onto the showerhead, so it can be difficult to position the control lever and side handheld shower outlet the way you want.) 2) The handheld shower hose outlet on this valve can be rotated to any position will. This allows the hose to hang straight down whether the outlet is on the left or right of the valve.
