Speakman, VS-118, Versatile Bracket Mounted Hand Shower Holder, Polished Chrome

Excellent replacement part - very easy to replace

I love Speakman products especially the fully brass items. This diverter is plastic over brass construction but it works well. I have two of them and hasn't had a problem to date. Super easy to install, adjust from shower head to hand held wand and leak free.

I am a huge fan of Speakman shower heads so I figured their diverter must be just as good and high quality. I was right! The diverter goes on very easily, threads line up perfectly, does not leak one drop and looks great. The diverter “switch” is large and easy to grab. It also allows for infinite adjustments between both valves - main shower head and hand held options. Package comes with a generous amount of good quality plumber’s tape. Absolutely no complaints!

we were adding a hand-held shower wand on a hose to a Speakman fixed showerhead, so this was a necessity. recent knee surgery prevented me from standing and reaching, so I asked my 6'2" son-in-law who installed it in minutes. no leaks, works perfectly. Spouse likes a Stand up shower with the fixed showered, and because of the knee surgery I prefer a sit down with the Handheld so we're both happy. The only issue is remembering which way to push the rectangular switch to divert the water between the two shower heads. Not a biggie. It works, doesn't leak, and was easy to put in.

Does what it's supposed to do.

Wish is wasn’t plastic (I knew this before I purchased it) so be careful when you’re installing it. Other than that it’s perfect.

After struggling for 45 minutes and using extra tape and new washers, the hand held shower connection still leaks crazy and couldn't be twisted on correctly. Finally we realized the connecting threads were made crooked! See pictures. I read other reviews saying the same thing but overall rating is high, so I ignored those reviews. Boy what a mistake. Do not waste your money or time. For those still wanting to try this, it is a low flow diverter that saves water, and cannot be manipulated into regular flow. If you hate low flow, don't buy this.

Just installed two days ago. Performance is functional for intended use thus far. ~All plastic body (not very thick) w/ brass coupling (nut) at the shower connection. ~Installation is fairly straight forward however pay attention to the diversion "handle" location when fastening to spout. ~Found that the slightest pressure to the main body after fastening to the shower spout will cause the body to rotate, making the final fastening adjustment for locating the handle where desired somewhat tedious. ~There is a small check valve which has not impacted water flow. ~This is an inexpensive solution for shower. ~ Long term durability is TBD and shall see.
