ABSTRACT:
A diverter valve for use for domestic household water use which may be operated at a minimal use of manual forces disclosed. The diverter valve generally includes a plurality of water inlet sources opening to an inner chamber. Said inner chamber having a plurality of outlet sources at the base of said chamber, a sealing means communicating with said outlet sources for alternately turning on or off the flow of water from said inlet sources through said outlet sources. The sealing means is urged against the base of said mixing chamber by means of a spring, as well as by the pressure of water from said inlet sources above said sealing means. The sealing means is rotatable as the result of rotation of a spindle. In the preferred embodiment an O-ring is provided to further seal the water away from the inlet source and the outlet source.
