This invention relates to a diverter valve assembly, including a valve housing and a holder secured to the side of the housing for retaining a hand-held showerhead. The housing includes a water inlet port, and first and second water outlet ports. The valve housing includes a single internal valve cavity within which the hollow valve core rotates. The hollow valve core assists in diverting water within the valve cavity to one or both of the water outlet ports.
