American Plumbing Partsmaster 982846 Pp Diverter

Product Description

The American Plumbing Partsmaster 982846 is a polypropylene diverter sold as a packaged replacement unit for residential and light commercial plumbing systems. A diverter controls the flow of water between two or more outlets, redirecting water from one fixture path to another within a faucet or shower valve assembly. This part is constructed from polypropylene, a material commonly chosen in plumbing applications for its resistance to corrosion and compatibility with potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and experienced plumbing technicians are the typical installers for this type of component.

This diverter is suited for use in faucet repair and shower valve service applications where the original diverter mechanism has worn, failed to seat properly, or begun to allow unwanted water bypass between outlets. The packaged format indicates the part ships ready for installation. Verify the valve body configuration and port orientation against the existing assembly before ordering to confirm fit.
