This is how to replace a diverter valve on a compresion style tub set up
what you want to do is turn your diverter so your water drains down into your tub spout
00:17
You don't have to turn off your water but you do want to make sure that the water
00:21
is drained from your shower head so that's why you are
00:23
putting it down to your tub spout what you need to do is remove your index button by putting the knife
00:28
underneath there. This one has
00:31
philips screws to remove the
00:33
handle.
00:35
And it's a good idea to plug your toe stop
so you don't loose your screws down the drain.
00:41
Next your going to undo your escuteon just a little bit. And than you can twist out
00:47
the sleeve like so
00:49
with the escuteon.
00:52
And you don't want to grab it
on the ends because you don't want to damage the threads especially on the ends.
00:57
Now this exposes our diverter valve. What you want to use is a deep socket set and slip that over the
01:03
body and than if you have a piece of laminated
paper or even a piece of paper. What you can do is
01:09
insert that into the holes.
01:15
And that way divert any water that, leftover water that may come out from the holes.
01:25
There is probably not really any water left
01:27
in here because
01:33
the deal is turned off but anyway just in case
01:42
01:45
almost
01:48
there
01:51
01:53
And theres the old diverter valve and the washer. Were also gonna look to make sure this little flat washer came with it
01:58
take a peek inside there
02:02
to make sure everything is out of there which it is
02:05
prepare our new diverter valve
02:08
theres our old one. You can see our new one has the same washer
02:11
the same washers here
02:14
and were going to want to finger tighten the sleeve and then we're
gonna want to wrap teflon tape around there.
02:18
Now you really don't have to
02:21
but I recommended it in that it will make it
easier to remove it
02:25
in the future should you need to.
02:28
And the best way to wrap teflon tape is like so, with the teflon tape at the back
02:35
hold it on with your finger
02:39
skip the first one or two threads
02:42
to avoid cross threading
02:45
if you need to twist it a little bit
02:48
so that you can skip the first
02:51
one or two threads you can do that
02:54
and you are just going to go three or four turns around.
02:59
Give it a nice coating of teflon.
03:02
It's kind of funny teflon
03:03
pans are what we cook with, so, that shows you
03:06
that it keeps the food and everything
from sticking against there
03:10
same principle here makes it easier to
03:13
remove in the future
03:15
but it also
03:16
fills in any regular gaps in the material. Undo our diverter valve all the way. You can see
03:21
how it pushes this out.
03:23
And this is why this is a compression style diverter valve. It has got a bibb washer here.
