Auto-draining diverter valve

A fluid valve with automatic draining diverter comprising:

• a valve body defining an interior;
• a fluid inlet in fluidic communication with the interior;
• a first passage in fluidic communication with the interior;
• a first outlet in fluidic communication with the first passage;
• a second passage in fluid communication with the interior;
• a second outlet in fluidic communication with the second passage;
• a diverter passage in fluidic communication with the interior;
• a diverter outlet in fluidic communication with the diverter passage;
• a diverter actuator stem configured to rotate between a first configuration and a second configuration;
• and
• a diverter return spring and an auto drain seal plunger mounted between the diverter actuator stem and the first outlet and the second outlet;
• wherein, in the first configuration, the diverter actuator stem directs a fluid to the first outlet and closes the second outlet;
• wherein, in the second configuration, the diverter actuator stem directs the fluid to the second outlet and closes the first outlet;
• wherein, a reduction in water pressure in the interior causes the diverter return spring to open a gap between the auto drain seal plunger and the valve body, allowing water to drain from the first and the second outlet, all associated pipes connected to these outlets, devices connected to these outlets, and diverter body interior automatically.
