diverter valve

Hey everyone! I have a shower with a valve diverter that no longer fully diverts water to the shower and bypasses to the spout. I was told by a plumber that the age of my system makes changing the valve diverter risky and/or susceptible to more issues in the future. Can I simply add a spout...

I know this has been touched on before but I’m doing a Reno and for reasons not worth going into the spout/diverter must be on the opposite side of the tub as the valve/shower head. I understand the issues but my question is this: can I add more pipe length to the mix line going from the valve...

Good afternoon, I am in the process of remodeling our master bath and have a question regarding the shower setup. New shower will have shower head, rain head, and body sprayers. All will be plumbed with Pex A. My question is what is the difference or advantage of utilizing the Delta R22000...

Hello, I am having an issue with my shower and I was hoping to get some advice on what could be causing it. Every morning, I make sure to push down the diverter valve after turning off the shower valve. However, lately I have been noticing that the diverter valve is being found in the closed...

Hi there. My girlfriend has found a tub filler she likes that is wall mounted. An issue we’ve run into is that she also would like a hand faucet for the tub, and the valve that comes with the tub faucet she picked out is supposedly adjoined to the faucet, not allowing for a diverter to be used...

My roommate has a Pearl jacuzzi whirlpool tub, and the shower diverter valve is unlike any I have seen or really have had experience with. The tub itself has a two valve hot and cold, but going down the line there is the shower diverter, and it looks like it acts as a gate valve of sorts. As I...

Hi. Wondering if you all could offer suggestions as to how to plumb my shower/tub combo. I have the Kohler 2971-k-na 3/4" inlet and outlet mixing valve. I'll be bringing up 1" PEX to the 2nd floor the entire way from the 3/4" copper main. This unit does not have a built in diverter and has...

I have installed several of these valves. This particular valve when turned on the water immediately comes out of the shower head and not the tub spout. All of the markings in the valve and mounting bracket that shows the up position and is installed correctly. Very little water comes out of...

I have a deep well with a 5hp pump feeding both our main house as well as multiple irrigation lines. The well pump is controlled via an 86 gallon pressure tank and during some irrigation days in the summer, this setup can kick on the well pump up to 100 times in a day, which we want to change...

I have an old price pfister 3 handle shower in the hall bath of my home (circa mid 70's maybe?). The diverter valve does not block flow of water to the tub when the diverter is set to shower. When set to shower there is a healthy stream flowing to the tub and there is diminished flow and...

Hello, I am having trouble with my Symmons Temptrol bath system. When the shower is switched on a lot of water will come out (steady thick stream) of the spout continuously (this is not the normal drip or stream you're normally supposed to experience). To make it more clearer it's coming OUT of...

We are debating swapping out our yet-to-be-installed shower tower panel for another unit comparable in panel (body/base) width but not in height, the new panel is shorter by 16.5". Additionally, the transfer valve from the first shower unit has already been plumbed into the wall. Do either of...

My 30+ year old 3-handle shower-tub faucet is no longer functioning correctly. The hot-cold water flow and temperature (due to the hot-cold water mixing) are fine when diverted to the tub spout, but not through the shower head. From my layman's view, it appears that the diverter valve needs to...

Hoping for some help in my 1920 home with older wall tile I would like to keep. The problem is with the shower water temperature, non consistent from hot to cold. No problem with the tub spout. Assume it is the diverter? Back of plumb wall is a linen closet with access panel, it looks like it...

This is a mysterious new development; after taking a shower, you can still hear water running somewhere in the pipes, but there are no leaks detected in the basement. (It would be easy to see any leaks as the plumbing runs through the exposed subfloor.) However, the sound stops when the...
