00:00You ever get in the shower and realize your handheld sprayer is fighting the overhead
00:04head for the same pipe? Same here. That's what a diverter valve fixes.
00:10I spent the weekend digging through the best deals on the top 5 shower diverter valves for
00:14handheld sprayers, and these are the 5 worth your money. Starting at number 1, the 3-way
00:20adjustable shower head diverter valve with a brass G1 half connector. This is the one everybody
00:26actually bought, nearly 5,000 sold, holding a 4.9 rating. You get three modes on one lever,
00:32so you can flip between handheld, overhead, and your third option without wrestling with plumbing,
00:37and the brass body feels noticeably sturdier than plastic. At $7.53, it's the best value on the list.
00:45Number 2 is the budget surprise, the ABS shower head-armed diverter valve for $4.90.
00:51The interesting part is it works as a water separator and flow regulator,
00:54so it can split water between your main shower and a bidet sprayer without either side losing
00:59pressure. Over 3,600 sold and still climbing. If you're adding a handheld bidet, this is the
01:07cheap first move. Number 3, the brass G1 half three-way
01:11T-adapter diverter valve for $8.96. Functionally it's a cousin of the top pick,
01:17but the T-adapter design sits right in line with your existing shower arm,
01:20which makes install way less of a headache, no replacing your whole arm.
01:24Thousands of people already did exactly that. Great pick if you want that classic brass feel.
01:31Number 4 is the same G1 half brass T-adapter, and it lands right next to it.
01:37Identical $8.96 price, but a slightly better 4.8 rating versus 3's 4.7.
01:42So if you want the same hardware with the stronger track record, this is the one to take.
01:482,500 sold, and it just works. And number 5, the three-way shower head diverter valve with the
01:55three-function switch, $9.08. It's the priciest here, and the reason is the dedicated switch,
02:01a clean toggle between your handheld, your fixed head, and the third output, no guessing which way
02:06to push. A 4.8 rating says people like that control. Worth the extra buck for the smoothest daily use.
02:14That's my top 5. Every link is in the description below, priced the way I found them.
