The more faucets, nozzles, or showerheads you incorporate into your shower, the more difficult this becomes. Everyone has used a shower diverter valve many times, but you were probably unaware you were doing so. Even the metal pull on your tub faucet is a shower diverter valve, but it’s not the only kind you can find. In fact, there are five major types of shower diverter valves to know about. In this article, we’re going to briefly describe each of them so you know which one your shower has, or which one your new shower needs. 1. Tee Diverter This is the most basic type of diverter valve and almost everyone has used one before. It diverts a single stream of water from the tub faucet to the showerhead.

Diverter valves may sound like something complex, but understanding their purpose is easy.
