Being that this is a diverter to select/control multiple heads/jets/sprays... is this 3/4 inch or will 1/2 pipe work well?

Depends on the amount of flow needed, of course. Has good flow for two shower heads, but obviously the maximum flow with only one running. 3/4 inch pipe, at the same velocity, has a little over twice the flow rate of 1/2 inch pipe.

3/4 inch is an expence that you don't need to spend. 1/2 inch works very well.

I do not remember. The plumber did the work for me, however, any questions I had, I called Delta direct. They are very helpful. They are the people who told me to buy this diverter. I didn't even know I needed one. Ha Ha

Bob, I have a 3/8" OD plastic tube from my filter to faucet, this diameter provides better flow. I am using a Omni under sink filter which has 3/8" inlet and outlet.

Only 1/4", you can get reducers to go from one size to another. However if you are looking at the kind of flow needed for a half inch line, you will need a lot larger pump.

The pump ships with a short length of 1/4" hose to connect between the fitting and a distribution splitter. 1/4" is the correct size. I purchased 3/8 based on this answer, and it's very loose fitting.

3/4" that could possibly reduced to 1/2' but would restrict the output flow. My choice would be 800 model that generally swap out without modifications.

The specifications state on the package the device is for 4 inch pipe, but after examining the bristles on the brush, I see no reason why it would not work also on the 3 inch pipe. The bristles appear to be flexible enough to withstand the bending for 3 inch pipe, but it is not something I have personally tried. Where you might run into difficulty would be with tight 90 degree elbows. Good luck.

I don't know for sure unfortunately. Looks like most diverters slip onto 1/2" based on searching...

I believe that all of these shower valves are sized the same and seem to recall it to be 1/2". If you can get to a plumbing supply outlet and get the size of one you should have the size of all. The 1/2" was disappointing because I was seeking a drench type of flow. Finally realized I would have to replumb using non standard fittings and valves to get it done.

That pump is set up for a 2" pipe. Reducing it to 1 1/2" will not work, especially if used for sewage.

I believe it's 3/8", standard thread. My diverter pipe was too short, and I had to make up an extension with a union piece, etc. Any local hardware store should have a plug for that. If you're using it as a faucet it should work for you just fine. The diverter is a cheap piece of crap, it sticks sometimes, and worst of all, the little handle comes unscrewed from the rod that you pull up on, causing the diverter plate to fall out of the bottom. I tried a little thread locker on it, and it seemed to help somewhat, but after 2-3 months, right back to being a piece of crap.

probably your water plumbing is 1/2", if you geat 3/4" you will have pressure

Your 1 3/4 diffuser ought to work just fine. That is the size of the barrel.

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

I believe 1/4 inch but don't quote me on it. I originally had a bigger diameter pipe and then use a down size attachment to fit it. Pretty much went to home depot and asked them just easier than me guessing

Good question. The pump was designed for the 1/4 in Try it and see, it will take you 15 minutes to find out, you will need to McGyver the fittings at the pressure tank and the faucet. Let me know. Mike

I used 1/2" pipe for everything and had no problems at all. This is a great product.
