- Attach the diverter valve to your kitchen faucet spout using the included adapters, ensuring a secure connection without over-tightening the plastic threads.
- Insert the tubing from your countertop filter unit into the compression fitting on the diverter valve, pushing firmly until snug, then tighten the compression nut by hand.
- To operate, pull the slide lever to divert water through the filtration system, or push it back to return to normal unfiltered tap water flow.
COMPATIBILITY
Works With Most Countertop Systems
The QMP502SLD-P diverter valve is designed for use with countertop water filtration systems that require a faucet-mounted diverter. Its multi-size compression fitting accommodates 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" OD tubing, making it compatible with most brands of countertop filters including alkaline systems, carbon block units, and multi-stage countertop RO systems. The chrome-finished plastic construction is NSF-compliant for lead-free contact with drinking water.
🔧 Pro Tip: Before connecting tubing to the compression fitting, cut the tube end cleanly and squarely with a sharp blade. A clean cut ensures a better seal and prevents leaks at the compression connection.
