CIENCIA Brass Sink Faucet Diverter Valve to Sink Hose Sprayer,Faucet Splitter for Kitchen,Sink Faucet Replacement Part M22 x M24,SBA021

Good product

Looks great, easy to install, the water flows freely and shuts off easily. No leakage and wipes clean and shines right up. Great value for the price.

This valve worked very well. Its only flaw is poor sealing because of the low height of the washer provided. See the first figure for the installed valve with the required PTFE tape on the threads. Even then it leaked a bit as shown in the second figure. The leaking occurred in both flow directions. Initially we tried the black washer that came with the valve. However, as shown in the third figure, the shelf inside the valve top was so narrow that it did not support the flexible black washer enough. The washer just deformed into the diverter. A white, stiffer washer, also provided, did not have that problem but, as shown in the fourth figure, did not extend high enough above the threads to form a good seal with the faucet. The fifth figure shows the original aerator with its black washer sticking up above the threads enough to make contact and deform. Fortunately, the leakage was slow enough with the white washer and PTFE taped threads that using it was acceptable. The valve otherwise worked well. The handle turned easily with enough resistance to hold its position. The valve could even be turned part way allowing a flow from the faucet for rinsing hands of an operator while water still flowed though tubing to the hand held shower head. When the diverter went to the shower but with the shower head turned off, the leaking at the diverter did not increase much. Overall this works well and, with a little Teflon tape, is easily installed.

Excellent device, high quality, with everything I needed to connect a hand held shower to a bathtub faucet. The valve diverts water to the tub or shower at the turn of the handle. It allows tempering the water before activating the shower head and does not restrict flow or back pressure the faucet head at any time. I easily connected a standard shower hose and handheld without any additional fittings. Very well thought out.

this is a great part that allowed me to hook up my bidet to my bathroom sink. I used Teflon tape. and also I tightened it with a wrench. no leaks sadly it stopped working after 6 months. the valve (the knob) inside broke update: got a new one. broke in six months again.
