water diverter for the bathtub." title="David De Lossy/Photodisc/Getty Images" /> The middle knob or lever is the water diverter for the bathtub. The middle knob on a three- knob bathtub faucet changes the direction of the flow of water from the bathtub faucet to the shower head. When the middle knob stops working , is frozen in place, hampers the flow of water to the bathtub faucet, or causes water to pour out of the bathtub faucet while the shower is running, it is typically the gaskets on the diverter valve that need to be replaced. The simplest way to bypass problematic middle knob and get your bathtub faucet to work correctly is to replace the diverter valve on the bathtub faucet. 1 Turn off the water supply to the bathtub and shower. Remove the screw on the shower diverter knob and pull off the knob. If the knob does not come off easily, it may have corroded or rusted in place on the shower knob stem . In this case, you will have to carefully pry off the...

diverter valve stem if your shower water pressure falls and water starts dripping out the tub faucet." title="Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images" /> Replace the diverter valve stem if your shower water pressure falls and water starts dripping out the tub faucet. The shower diverter valve in a three- handle faucet system channels mixed hot and cold water from your tub faucet to the showerhead. After extended use, however, the washer on the end of the diverter valve stem becomes worn. This reduces shower pressure by allowing some water to bypass the diverter and flow into the tub. If this happens, replace the defective part; most plumbing outlets and home centers carry replacement diverter valve stems , and if you have basic do-it-yourself skills, removing the old stem and installing a new one is fairly straightforward. Preparation Tasks Turn off the water supply to the tub and shower before starting work. This is straightforward, provided the bathroom i...

By Matt Weber A shower diverter valve switches the supply of water from the faucet to the shower head and back again. Repeated operation over time can wear out the valve or the rubber washers and result in drips and leaks. Two handle faucets typically have one of two types of diverter valves . A gate-type valve is uѕuаllу found іn thе bathtub spout, usually with a pull-down оr pull-uр type оf valve handle. A rotating- type diverter valve , as shown in this article, is located bеtwееn thе bathtub spout аnd thе showerhead. Here’s how to pull one out and put in a new one. Step-by-Step Repair First and foremost, shut off the water supply to the faucet before disassembling the handles. Pry off the decorative cap of the valve handle with a screwdriver. (In some cases these caps are threaded.) Then unscrew the nut to pull off the handle. If the handle refuses to budge, you can use a gear puller to remove it. It might be necessary to remove the escutcheon if it interferes with the use of you...

Before you begin repairing the shower diverter, you need to know how to dismantle it properly. Never pull it out straight, or use hammers or hooks to remove it. All you need to do is use the appropriate gear, which is available in any hardware store and gently dismantle the piece. Once it is off, use a wrench to bend the metal tube behind the knob, and cut the caulk surrounding the metal plate. Doing so will provide you with a clear view of the diverter, following which, you may proceed with the repairs. Fixing the Diverter Determine the type of diverter valve that has been used.

This removal procedure is a job of a day's time. Beca...

March 15, 2012 Changing Out The Shower Water Valve Stems In Mom’s 50s Time Capsule Condo – Eeks!!!! By Sara In AZ This project, changing out the shower valve stems , probably has the most significance  to me of any project we did on the condo. I suppose it’s weird to say that  because you never ever see the valve stems, so just looking at the tub you would never know anything had been done.  But we had some real lows and highs during this project…….can we keep the original tile, do we have to rip it all down??? Let me tell you all about it. It all started off with the inspection. The inspector said that water was leaking from under the ‘hot’ side handle when you turned the faucet on. He also said that water still came out of the tub spout when you turned the shower on. We were partially aware of this problem before the inspector came through, and we thought it would not be a huge problem to take care of it. Here is my only close-up “before” picture of the handles. Sorry it is such a ...

eHow Home Home Repair & Maintenance Plumbing How to Repair a Delta Diverter Valve Follow Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images Delta manufactures a large array of fixtures for the bathroom and kitchen. There are several styles and finishes of bathroom fixtures for a shower and tub combination. A diverter valve directs the main flow of water to either the showerhead or the tub spout.

After several years of use, diverter valve seals wear out or break and cause the water to leak from under the handle. A defective diverter valve will also allow water flow from only one area. Things You'll Need Allen wrench Screwdriver Adjustable pliers Turn the water supply off to the shower. Insert an Allen wrench into the setscrew in the diverter handle bottom on a paddle type knob .
