  • Patent number: 5096503
    Abstract: An apparatus for washing body waste bags that have an opening. The apparatus includes a diverter valve having an internally threaded spout to attach to a faucet. The diverter valve has a plunger and a reduced size nipple adapted to be received in a small opening in a body waste bag. When the faucet is turned on and the plunger is in an diverter open position, the water from the faucet flows normally through the diverter valve for regular use into the bag to wash the bag. When the plunger is in a closed position the water flows through reduced size openings to wash the bag. The diverter valve will remain on the faucet for convenient later use for cleaning body waste bags.
