Abstract:

A quick-connect diverter valve for use in connecting existing water faucets and water filtration units in and around a kitchen, or other areas where clean drinking water is desired. The device consists of a body having a movable sleeve adaptor at one end and an outlet opening at the other end. The sleeve adaptor is slidable to allow the body to be quickly inserted onto and held in an annular groove formed on a snap adapter secured to an outlet end of an existing faucet or tap. The body of the device includes a central chamber having an easily operated piston valve member which is slidingly held therein so that upon actuation of an operating member, the valve member is moved in a first direction to allow entering water to flow from the device into a water filter and back from the water filter through a further chamber and out the outlet end of the device. The valve member may be slid in a second direction to block flow to the water filter so that tap water will flow directly through the device and out through the outlet end.

The post has an axially extending bore which receives the post section of the concealed bracket. A securement nut is placed within an axially extending recess in the post section. The post section also has an elongated aperture extending from the recess. The post and securement nut have alignable apertures therethrough a allow a threaded fastener to extend through the lateral aperture, elongated slot in the post section and the threaded aperture in the securement nut. The fastener, when tightened, secures the post and rose plate onto the concealed bracket and allows axial adjustment for manufacturing tolerances and secures the mountable post against torque forces.
