In-wall diverter valve installation
I have a Moen single-handle tub and shower valve that I have installed. To this set-up, I added a diverter valve I found online that I hoped would take the full-flow of the water on it's way up from the pull on the spout to the shower head, and divert all of it to a wall-mounted hand held shower head, and vice-versa. It didn't, but rather sent water to both at the same time.
QUESTION: Do you know of a company that makes an in-wall valve that will give full-flow to either shower head ( one at a time ) and how to pipe it in? |

Hi Q-built:
Symmons makes a 3-port in wall diverter... available at almost any plumbing supply company. One port is the inflow and the other two ports go to each head individually. Each head gets full flow when water is diverted. Let me know if you want to discuss more... MARK . |

In addition to Mark's advice... Pfister, Grohe, Danze, Kohler, HansGrohe, Delta... and much more... just about every major faucet manufacturer makes diverters. It seems to me you didn't install it correctly. Can you post a drawing of what you did... or perhaps a photo ? Can you tell us what is the model # of the Moen diverter you installed ? How many ports ? It would be very helpful... But in the interim: 3-Port diverter is for 2 shower outlets. 4-Port diverter is for 3 shower outlets. etc. But be careful: Some diverters come with 2 inlets, one on each side. In this case, One inlet has to be PLUGGED. You use the other one for incoming water. In this case: 4 Port diverter is for 2 shower heads 5 Port diverter is for 3 shower heads etc. First, you have to identify which one is the INLET and which are the OUTLETS. This may be confusing but it is very important to ensure proper installation. If you didn't connect it correctly, you get exactly what you got now. Will wait for your answer... Milo |

My shower has three knobs and the one in the middle diverts the water flow from the tub spout to the shower. I think that means I have a 3 valve diverter valve, if not please correct me. When I turn the diverter knob so that the water comes out of the shower, there is still significant water...
I was washing the dishes and when I went to press to spray nozzle, no water came out. Then when I went to use the faucet, no water came out as well. I think this may have to do with the diverter in the spray nozzle? What are your thoughts? And how do you remove the spray nozzle?
