ABSTRACT:
A diverter valve comprising an upper housing section which defines a fluid inlet and a first fluid outlet. Rotatably connected to the upper housing section is a lower housing section which defines a second fluid outlet. The lower housing section is selectively rotatable between first and second positions. Disposed within the upper housing section is a diverter element which defines first and second flow conduits. The diverter element is attached to the lower housing section and rotatable concurrently therewith. The first flow conduit fluidly communicates with the fluid inlet and the second fluid outlet when the lower housing section is in the first position, with the second flow conduit fluidly communicating with the fluid inlet and the first fluid outlet when the lower housing section is in the second position.
