Moen CL707ORB Pivoting Shower Arm Diverter with Hand Shower Cradle, Oil Rubbed Bronze

This is really well made. Very heavy duty. It’s a Moen so it should be built to last. It’s a little hard to turn on and off, but it’s probably because it is made so well.

This is the product I needed to take my average shower up a notch. This Moen water diverter is perfect, high quality, and I installed it myself. I wish the price point was better, but in this case you get what you pay for. I previously installed a head with plastic parts and within a few weeks the inside rubber washer was already out of place. This Moen is all metal and comes with rubber washers too. Product is heavy, but not too larger. Once I received it I felt good about it not being too heavy to install. In my opinion, worth it!

This shower water diverter for a hand held shower head from Moen is heavy, well made, and fit perfect in place of a plastic piece of junk that had cracked from tighten it down to stop a leak even with plumbers silicone tape. Look, $50 + bucks is not cheap in my book, but it worked so well and was so solid, I bought another the following day to replace the other POJunk I had on the other shower. Maybe you can find it cheaper some other place(s), but Amazon had the best price, and that's a deal for me. I even ante'd up for the Moen 164927NL Replacement 4-Function Eco-Performance Handheld Showerhead, Polished Nickel. It looked good, and though it's partially made of plastic, it fit well on my nickel hose and works well. I should have spent the cash and made the upgrade years ago. Moen got some nice stuff.

In this day and age when you can get buy a lawn mower carburetor for 30 bucks, but a very well built, brass solid diverter for > $100. This is the real deal. Highly recommended for a brushed nickel diverter. It will last longer than all the crap plastic pieces attached t it.

Since the feeder-pipe for my overhead shower head comes out of the wall level, then makes a 30 degree turn downwards, the only way I can use this diverter with my Rainfall Shower Head and Hand-held Shower Head is to have the diverter knob on the right side, the extension arm for the shower head connected to the upward-pointing port, and the hand-held shower head connected to the downward-pointing port. My existing Rainfall Shower Head with Adjustable Height/Angle Extension Arm has adjustable joints at both ends of the arm. These joints provides a slight adjustment in the height of Rainfall Shower Head and its extension from the wall. The Rainfall Shower Head hangs freely from a ball-joint so that its weight alone let the shower head hang level water comes straight down like rainfall on a clam day. The critical part of the installation is to have enough pressure applied to the washer at the diverter's connection to the feeder-pipe when the diverter is screwed tight enough to seal the joint, and the diverter switch's turn-knob and hand-held shower cradle are level and parallel to the wall where the feeder-pipe emerges. At this point, the feeder-pipe and the Extension Arm all lie in one plane vertical to the wall, and it looks nice.In my case, I added two additional washer to the joint between the feeder-pipe and the Moen Diverter and completed the installation with no leaks. I tried adding only one washer and that joint leaked.With two additional washers, I still had to tighten the connection so much that the lock nut ended up slightly misaligned with its pipe to the diverter. Hopefully, nothing is so out of alignment that the connection will fail and start leaking. Time will tell. If it is still working after a couple of years with no leaks, I may come back and upgrade this five-star.

I purchased this Moen CL707BN diverter in brushed nickel to augment my existing overhead rain-head shower. I added a Moen hand-held unit also. The hand-held unit that I added makes it easy to wash down the shower to clean it, and my wife likes to switch from the rain head shower to the hand-held when she doesn't want to get her hair wet. (my review of my Moen rain head shower is also here on Amazon).I have this Moen diverter connected to a curved pipe that feeds my Moen rain-head shower (overhead) and my Moen hand-held (which sits in the slotted bracket portion of this diverter).This CL707BN is metal, heavy, and has a nice finish. It installed easily in place of my existing diverter. This Moen diverter has 3 modes: output #1, output #2, or output #1+2. I especially like that it doesn't leak from the output port which is off (my previous cheap diverter did). So if I have the turn-knob on output #1, then no water comes out of output #2. Ditto the other way. When both output #1 and #2 are on, for me the flow is reduced to each (I have well water, so the head flow is fixed).The turn-knob has a substantial feel to it with detents at each position. Unlike other diverters that have a push button or a slider, this turn-knob is easy to turn, clicks into place at each detent, and is firm and easy to turn.The turn-knob is held in place by a screw (under the silver colored pop-off cover). The hand-held holder on the other side is also held on with a screw. The hand-held holder holds my Moen hand-held (which I bought separately); and it appears to be standard size for most brands but I didn't confirm this.My only complaint is the size of the hole that the water flows through. The image shown (which appears to be a computer generated solid model) shows a single hole. The unit that I received has 4 small holes instead of one large hole; this limits the flow further (see my uploaded photo). Since the sealing mechanism covering the holes is a black spring loaded piece that presses against the holes, I assume that Moen made a design change along the way so that the holes sealed better (or to limit flow?). However, since I have well water and pressure is very limited, I needed increased flow. So I removed both screws, removed both end pieces, disassembled the unit completely, and drilled out the four holes (in two places) to make one single hole. For the first couple of days, the spring loaded piece leaked a little water to the output port that was not being used; but that leaking stopped so I assume that it was caused by a metal shard that I had been unable to remove.I'm quite happy with the unit; especially compared to previous diverter units that I've had. The only surprise was the four little holes instead of the one large hole on the pipe, but I dealt with that.Scott
