    Let's see if I have this clear. You have a two knob tub and shower valve with the diverter on the spout. Correct? Hot water works when diverted to the shower head but when it comes out the spout it quits dead after a minute of use. Have I got it right? If not click back and tell me where I'm wrong. Regards, Tom

    Ok! Now that I understand your problem I'll need more details before I can answer.
    What brand is your faucet. How old is it. I need this information so I can pull up a diagram on it. Thanks, tom

    You have shown me a lavatory faucet. Look on your tub faucet and tell me what brand is your faucet and how old is it. Regards, Tom

    Nicole,

    Your link took me to a site that sold Pex fittings but no tub valves. Would this look like your valve? (see image) Let me knowand in the future add on to this thread instead of starting a new one . I juust have to go back and find and merge them. Regards, Tom

    You're asking for my help after you just laid a unfavorable comment,(reddie) on me?
    You have a odd way of asking for help. Perhaps one of the other experts can make you happy. I don't seem to be doing a very good job of it. T.
