    Diverter is not suppose to shut off water. It diverts water to two or more outlets. 1/4" extra length makes no difference in operation of diverter as the length refers to the length of the stem only and is sold in several sizes to accommodate thickness of the wall for trim installation purposes. Diverter body remains the same no matter how long the stem is.

    There are many very similar looking diverter stems. Make sure you got the right one for your faucet.

    Back to you

Diverter Valve [ 1 Answers ]

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?
