Abstract:
The quarter turn bath spout diverter compromises of a commonly used water spout and a quarter turn ball valve. The water spout consists of a drain opening and a half inch pipe thread female adapter as well as a built in location for the quarter turn ball valve. In the open position, the water flows only through the drain opening of the water spout. In the closed position, the water is diverted from the quarter turn ball valve and does not reach the drain opening. Because of the closed position, there is no place for the water to go, a water pressure is created which in turn diverts the water to the opposite direction of the drain opening, usually to another external water escape such as a shower head.
