Understanding Two Direction Water Diversion
The two direction diverter acts as the traffic controller for your bathtub setup. Imagine a railway switch yard where a single lever guides a train down one of two specific tracks. In your plumbing system, the 3/4 inch NPT inlet receives pressurized water from your valve, and turning the crystal cross handle directs that water either through the 3/4 inch NPT outlet to your main tub spout or through the 1/2 inch NPSM outlet to your handshower. This mechanical separation ensures you get strong, uninterrupted water flow to the exact accessory you want to use without pressure loss or leaking between channels.
Installation Guide
Ensure water supply lines are completely shut off at the main valve before beginning any deck mounting work.
Confirm proper clearance on the bathtub deck for the 3/4 inch NPT inlet and associated outlet connections.
Apply approved thread sealant tape to all NPT and NPSM threaded connections to prevent leaks.
Secure the deck mount base firmly according to local plumbing standards without over-tightening the brass components.
Test the diverter handle rotation through both directions to ensure smooth water switching before regular use.
Care & Maintenance
Routine Wiping Wipe the brass body and crystal handle dry with a soft cloth after each use to prevent water spot buildup.
Gentle Cleansing Use mild liquid soap and warm water for regular cleaning, avoiding harsh chemical detergents.
Finish Protection Never use abrasive scrubbers, steel wool, or acidic cleaners that can damage the metallic finish.
