CACASO Solid Brass 3-Way G 1/2 Shower Arm Diverter Valve for Easy Water Flow Control

Thomas: Title and description is misleading. The body of the diverter is “solid brass” all the rest of the parts are plastic, product lasted for 6 months before the plastic arm that is attached to the diverter handle snapped off. In my case 6 months is not bad for a sub $10 diverter. Also could never get it to 100% seal, always had a slight drip to it. Sadly didn’t snap a photo before throwing it out. Do your research, if you want something that is going to last spend the $40-$60 and be happy you did.

MaggieMaggie: Two purchased this year had issues: Threaded hex fitting that holds the swivel nut broke on one unit (after 5 month use) and another leaked on install from the swivel nut (not from pipe connection).

However, a third purchased years ago has been in use for 3 years without issue. All installed with washers and Teflon tape.

Closet Puppeteer: I used this diverter to add a hose to a hand-held sprayer to the shower head. It is easy to install.

Unscrew current shower head, add a couple winds of teflon tape to the threads, screw on the fitting, and tighten it with a wrench or a pliers (padded with a rag to not scratch the fitting). Then you can take it off because the hard washers that come with it makes it leak like crazy.

Go to the hardware store's plumbing section, buy a rubber gasket, redo the installation, and it will work just fine. The gasket I got was by Danco, Inc, it was a #31 Top Bibb Gasket, rubber, (Fits a Crane faucet) Stock #35315. It has an outer diameter of 13/16" (about 1/32" too big. I trimmed it with a scissors) and an inner hole diameter of 11/32".
The valve works great to switch between the shower head and the hand-held sprayer with a hose. To complete the installation I bought the following:
- Shower Head Hose Replacemend 59 Inches Long Made of Stainless Steel, Universal Handheld Shower Hose with Brass Fittings, Chrome Finish by Purelux
- Solid Copper Handheld Shower Head Pressurized Water Saving Shower Shower Sprayer Nozzle Bathroom Hand Showerhead With Chrome Finished...

SI: This was a perfect piece for my project. Installed a small washing machine and this was what I needed to divert the water from my shower head to the machine. Well made and heavy, I like how all the pieces are made out of solid brass and will probably last me a long time. I had no leaks or any issues after the installation.

Bearry: Bought this to replace the valve that came with my Delta shower head/handheld shower set when the valve started leaking. This was an excellent replacement! I installed using 2 of the washers that came with it and pipe thread sealer as I could not find my Teflon tape. My first shower was amazing! Apparently, the Delta valve was also the flow restrictor. With this valve, I had the most forceful shower I’ve taken in years! The valve turns smoothly and easily. The labels shown in the pics for shower head and handheld are apparently only for explanation of the operation but are not actually on valve handle itself. You don’t really need it. Putting the valve in the halfway position divides the water between the two showers but since half the water is going to each, you get half the water volume/pressure as you get with only one of them in use. I highly recommend this shower valve!
