Product Description
A 5-way diverter is a plumbing fixture that controls water flow to different outlets, typically in a shower or bathroom setup. It features three inlets (usually hot, cold, and a supply from a geyser or overhead tank) and two outlets (e.g., a shower head and a body spray). The diverter allows for switching between these outlets, offering flexibility in how you use your shower. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Functionality: The 5-way diverter acts as a valve, allowing you to direct the water flow from the three inlets to either of the two outlets, says a bathroom diverter valve. Inlets: These are the entry points for water from different sources, such as hot and cold water supply, and a geyser or overhead tank, explains Ruhe. Outlets: These are the points where the water is directed, typically a shower head and a body spray, notes CERA. Control: A single lever or button is often used to switch between the different outlet options, allowing you to easily direct the water where you need it. Installation: 5-way diverters can be concealed within the wall or exposed. Materials: They are often made of brass for durability and may have a chrome finish.
