ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a fluid diverter valve (10) that allows quick connection/disconnection of a hand held sprayer used for cleaning shower stalls and bathrooms. The diverter valve (10) is comprised of a valve housing (20) having a water inlet (21), a first water outlet (22) where a standard shower may be attached, a second water outlet (23) and an annular cavity (24) therebetween; a valve member (40) and an attachment housing (30) for constraining the valve runner (40) within the cavity (24). At the second outlet (23), the attachment housing (30) is fastened to the valve (10) for fluid communication. A spring (50) urges the valve runner (40) into a first position wherein the valve runner (40) seats adjacent the attachment housing, permitting fluid communication only between the inlet (21) and the first outlet (22). The attachment (90) of a flexible conduit (92) of a cleaning attachment system can be coupled to the attachment housing (30), thus urging the valve runner (40) to a second position wherein the valve runner (40) seals the first outlet (22), permitting fluid communication only between the inlet (21) and the second outlet (23).
