Product Description
A 4-way diverter disc, also known as a diverter cartridge, is a component in bathroom fixtures like showers and faucets that allows you to switch water flow between multiple outlets. Specifically, a 4-way diverter allows you to redirect water to four different outlets, typically a showerhead, a hand shower, a bath filler, and potentially another outlet. Functionality: Water Flow Control: The diverter disc uses a rotating mechanism (like a lever or knob) to control the direction of water flow between the designated outlets. Multiple Outlets: It enables you to switch between different showerheads, a bath filler, or other shower features without needing separate faucets or valves. Space-Saving: Diverters can simplify shower setups, eliminating the need for separate faucets for each outlet. Concealed or Exposed: They can be installed concealed within a wall or exposed as a visible part of the fixture. Materials: Brass: The body and flange are typically made of brass, known for its durability and resistance to corrosion. Ceramic Discs: Inside the cartridge, ceramic discs are used to control the flow and ensure a tight seal. Handle/Lever: The handle or lever is usually made of brass or a similar material and is used to operate the diverter. Common Uses: Showers: Switching between a showerhead, a hand shower, and a bath filler spout. Baths: Filling the bath and then switching to the shower function. Mixer Taps: In some cases, 4-way diverters can be used in mixer taps to control different water sources or outlets.
