Delta Faucet Shower Arm Diverter for Hand Shower, Chrome

I ordered several different diverters to use and this is the most sturdy and the one I decided to use.I am using the 'PDPBath16" Shower Extension Arm' and 'AquaStar Elite 3-in-1 High-Pressure 48-mode 7" Shower Head Combo'. Other diverters would leak because they are not solid and could not handle the weight from the extension arm and the shower head.The diverter that comes with the AquaStar was not great and the handle would become difficult to turn after several months.

I like how effective this shower diverter valve is. I use it to divert water to my dog washing sprayer that is always setup in the shower. It operates smoothly when turning the valve handle and does not leak any water out of the shower head when I'm dog washing, unlike my pervious diverter did. It's made of real m-e-t-a-l (and not cheap chromed plastic) and very solid. The inner parts of the valve are also metal. The original diverter for the dog washing attachment broke, like they all seem to do because they're really cheap chromed plastic, so it was time to replace it with something better and this was it.

These diverter valves have always been great. They're not too big, look appropriate, easy to use, do the job well (for decades) and don't cost an awful lot. I tend to install them to create a standard stand-up shower environment that also includes a separate hand held shower on a flex hose for someone who needs to shower while seated. This also makes for a much easier shower to rinse while cleaning. Very nice...

This is a decent piece of hardware that makes it simple to add a detachable showered to your existing showered setup. It is easy to install and has continued to work flawlessly since installation (I will update this review if anything changes. The one thing that I don't like is that there is no setting or click for when the water output is split 50/50 between the two shower heads. Previous shower head splitters like this have had a notch in the middle that allowed you to know exactly when you had the water set to 50/50, and I wish this splitter had the same feature. Sure you can guess, but that involves looking at the knob (sometimes not easy for short people) and figuring out when it is half way between its range of motion.

The diverter is heavy duty - you won't break it. The valve works flawlessly.

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

The media could not be loaded.  Easy to install, used plumber’s tape to secure it better! Overall, 10/10.Of note: both my shower head and handle are Delta brand! Unsure if this diverter works for other brands!

muy buen acabado!

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.

Funciona perfecto.

Durable metal construction unlike most of those plastic ones out there. It’s easy to instal and works effortlessly. Very glad I bought it. Certainly recommend it.

I do wish though that there was an option to have both flow at the same time with the lever.
