I just intalled an American Standard Tub Filler faucet with optional shower head. The shower head itself does not have a shutoff on it. While filling the tub (diverter down), some water is leaking out of the shower head. the problem is that with the weak stream of water, it is landing on the rim of the tub and then falling onto the tub deck. When I pull the diverter up, everything appears to be working fine with the shower head and faucet.
Is this normal. I removed all parts prior to doing any soldering so I know I did not damage any O ring or anything like that.
Also, the installation page for the shower head stated, "check local codes, make require vacuum breaker (kit #028708)" I have no idea what this is, or what this is for, but wondering if this might be the cause of the problem.
I would greatly appreciate any advice as I am a average do-it-yourselfer and expert at nothing.
