    Tub still runs when shower is turned on
    I just rebuilt the valves on a three valve PP shower/but faucet. The tub still runs when I turn on the shower. It has a new seat and gaskets. I think I put it together wrong... anybody have a diagram of how it should go together?

    Thanks,
    Paul

    Weren't there diagrams with the Price Pfister when you got your parts? You can probably find a manual or diagram here http://parts.bdhhi.com/index.aspx?MS...9F7F27A831EDC6

    Probably best to just replace diverter stem or take it to a plumbing supply and compare.

    Hi Guys:

    Hey Paulp... I checked out the site Ballenger posted... check this PDF file out:

    http://parts.bdhhi.com/PDF/01series-3.pdf Metal lever handles

    http://parts.bdhhi.com/PDF/01series-5.pdf Acrylic handles

    These appear to be the only 3 handle PP tub/shower valves that show up. Let us know if this helps.. Talk later... Mark

    Hi All,

    Thanks for your responses. I checked out the parts PDF and had all the parts lined up right. I took the whole assembly to my local hardware store and showed it to the plumbing guy. He said it looked right, but old systems like mine don't seal tight when the diverter is pointed to the shower because of the new low flow shower heads... to much back pressure.

    Thanks again,
    Paul
