Diverters & Trims

Diverters come in a variety of styles and functionalities, such as:

• Two or Three-Way Diverters: These are wall-mounted and allow you to control multiple shower functions separately or simultaneously. Two-way diverters toggle between two functions, while three-way diverters can switch between three.
• Integrated Diverters: These are built into the shower valve and offer a streamlined appearance and often more features. They provide seamless integration with other shower components and offer both aesthetic and functional customization.
• T Diverters: The simplest form, usually located on the tub spout and activated by a pull-up knob or button.
  

Each type of diverter serves a different need and can be chosen based on your shower setup, design preferences, and the kind of showering experience you wish to create.

A diverter trim serves as the external component of a diverter valve, providing both aesthetic and functional elements to your shower setup. It consists of a handle or knob, and sometimes a faceplate, which work in harmony with the internal diverter valve to channel water flow to your chosen shower outlet, be it the showerhead, handshower, or body sprays. The trim essentially allows you to manually control the direction of water flow without having to access the valve, which is typically concealed behind the wall for a sleeker look.

A general guideline is that most diverter trims require a minimum pressure of around 15 to 30 psi (pounds per square inch) or 1.0546 to 2.10921 kg/cm2 (kilogram per square centimetres). If the water pressure in your home is on the lower side, it may affect the diverter's ability to effectively channel water to the different shower outlets. Low pressure could result in poor water flow or even malfunction of the diverter system. Therefore, always double-check the technical specs.
