Full details
The KES Brass Diverter is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to upgrade their kitchen or bathroom sink faucets with a durable, metal alternative to fragile plastic diverters. Its primary benefit is the reliable one-piece brass construction, which ensures long-term resistance to heat and water pressure. Note that it is specifically engineered for faucets with M22 x M24 threads, so you must verify your existing faucet dimensions before installation to ensure compatibility.

FAQs
Does this fit all kitchen faucets?
No, it specifically fits faucets with M22 x M24 thread sizes. Please measure your aerator threads before purchasing.
Can I use this with a hot water line?
Yes, the solid brass construction is rated for high heat resistance, making it suitable for hot water applications.
Does the diverter include the hose?
No, this product is the diverter valve only. You will need a standard G 1/2 compatible hose to connect your sprayer.
Is it made of chrome-plated plastic?
No, it is constructed from a solid brass body, which offers significantly better pressure and temperature resistance than plastic.
How do I know if it fits my faucet?
Remove your current aerator and check the thread size. If the aerator measures 22mm internally or 24mm externally, it is compatible.
Troubleshooting
Leakage at the faucet connection point
Ensure the rubber washer is properly seated and the diverter is tightened sufficiently. Apply thread seal tape if the leak persists.
Diverter handle is difficult to turn
Check for mineral buildup or lime scale inside the valve. Soak the diverter in a mild vinegar solution to break down deposits.
Water is leaking from the sprayer outlet when the main faucet is on
Check the internal diverter seal for debris. Clean any sediment that may be preventing the valve from seating completely.
Pros and Cons

- Resistant to high temperatures and water pressure

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first ensure your faucet aerator is removed and the threads are clean. Verify that your faucet matches the M22 female or M24 male thread requirement. Screw the diverter onto the faucet spout firmly, ensuring the rubber washer is correctly seated to prevent leaks. For the output, attach your G 1/2 hose directly to the bottom port.
Compatibility Note: This device is strictly for faucets with standard M22/M24 threading. If your faucet has a non-threaded or proprietary sprayer connection, an additional adapter may be required.
Care Instructions: To maintain the finish and internal valve performance, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can wear down the metal finish over time. If the valve becomes stiff after years of use, a small amount of food-safe silicone lubricant can be applied to the lever mechanism.
