I currently have a divertor that when tightened to the original wall pipe, swings down when handheld is inserted, as if loose...this one?

I have not had such a problem with this diverter. That of course assumes your "wall pipe" is 1/2" NPT.

I have had no such problems with this. It is solid and only moves with when I want it to.

No this one is very tight and solid. I have a handheld on it as well and every time I switch the diverter it doesnt budge at all

This one will do that also to some extent. And if you try to tighten it tighter with a wrench instead of just hand tight as Delta suggests, it may leak as the edge of the pipe cuts the washer.I believe the best design is for the hanheld to not be mounted to the diverter but to a separate wall bracket.

hand held shower head is solid mounted so it follows the angle of the wall pipe

The diverter is metal, except for the flow lever, and tightens very snuggly. We actually hang our handheld on sidewall instead of the diverter. We also purchased the "Danze D469020 72-Inch All Metal Interlock Shower Hose" which is long and very flexible and we find the side wall more convenient.

Another poster stated his had this problem, that if you tightened too much it will cut the gasket. While that may be true if the leading edge of your pipe is sharp or rough, you can fix that. Obtain a flat file and dress/file the end flat. It does not have to be perfect. Then tighten with a wrench about 3/4 of a turn past hand tight. Should do the trick.

Dont know about the one you purchased. I purchased 2 of these and the barrel moves to all position including the last one.

I assume you mean the actual line gets loose. So far mine has not needed tightening.

Hi Michael,I tried to find the video on YouTube I used to teach me how to install the diverter, but I couldn't find it. However, I found two separate ones by the same author that should do the trick. As a bonus, he said he'll answer questions if you post them to him. Here they are:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCbXw5bP9I8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLPvtTfRcCk Hope this helps !

Mine was installed well but twice we had the plumber return to tighten it, each time after a month of use. The pressure is probably commercial-strength versus residential, so it periodically comes loose at the base. My husband is not a fan and wants to replace it with something very basic.

It is a tight fit, not sure what else you bought but is is a little difficult by design. the main braided line hooks to the distributer and the distributer with all it's screw valves hooks to your output lines, they should all be very tight.

The old clip may have been slightly bent making it more difficult to lock in. You can buy new ones or straighten out the old one. The valve is 180 wrong just turn it around. there are several videos on U tube on how to do this.

Without seeing it...it is hard to determine. One thing my husand said it might be is there is a spring that is on the old hose that has to be put on the new hose to allow it to retract. If this is not the case, maybe there is a blog out there on any installation situations regarding Grohe and their parts.

I had a loose spring too. I believe it's meant to help with the suction of the converter. I've not had any issues with it.

The top edge of the handheld is 2 1/2 to 3" above the pipe centerline.I believe that it will fit. It is not as tall as it looks in the picture.

With it's mondular design you can expect it to be a little wobbly the one I have installed in my house was and works fine, it did get rigid because I mounted it on a stud :). No issues though and I like being able to expand it if needed. Only issue I had was that the valves would cut a small pice of plastic first time I used them, make sure you don't get pices of plastic stuck in your pipes and good luck with your installation!

I was able to rotate the spout relative to the handle on the unit I purchased about 90 deg each way. It was stiff, so I am guessing this was not a design feature.

I had the same problem, because of the bottom rubber gasket that makes it really hard to screw down tightly. I solved it by getting rid of the gasket and using plumbers putty instead. No leaks.

You pull on the sides & the grill tilts so all the greese runs to the drip pan. I think mine might have a loose screw because it wants to tilt on it's own.

The tube will rotate in both directions, simply rotate the tube until the prongs align with the openings on the socket and the tube should drop out, or slide out easily. To replace insert slide in tube with prongs in line with the socket indentations and rotate to maintain placement.
