Hi, I replaced a complete spindle assembly and diverter valve on a symmons shower valve. When I got finished the diverter went from low pressure water to the tub when moved to the right, shower in the middle straight down, left turns on shower and tub at the same time. Customer is yelling that it's more broken than it was before. Everything is brand new. Van you tell me what's wrong? I put it all together exactly correctly

Hi Rick

It sounds like you may have installed the wrong diverter spindle. Symmons color codes their spindles...

If this is a tub and shower valve you needed to install the WHITE diverter spindle.

If this is a shower only valve then you needed to install the BLACK diverter spindle.

Post back...
