Handheld Shower Head Diverter Valve, RTL12046
/
The Handheld Shower Head Diverter Valve by Drive Medical lets one shower arm feed two outlets — your existing fixed shower head on top and a handheld shower on the bottom. A large lever switches water from one outlet to the other, or shuts the flow off completely, so the user can pause the water while soaping up without reaching for the tub controls. It threads onto a standard 1/2" shower arm, and its chrome finish blends with most bathroom fixtures. For anyone bathing from a shower chair or bath bench, adding a handheld shower is one of the simplest ways to make seated bathing safer and easier — and this diverter lets you add one without giving up the regular shower head.
