はじめに

If your Delta Push Valve shower diverter is leaky, stuck into place, or needs to be replaced for any reason, this guide is for you. Your shower diverter plays an important role in diverting water back and forth between the tub faucet and the shower head.

A plumber visit can be costly, but the fix can be easy and save you time, stress, and money. This process should take 25 minutes max with a few simple tools no hazards on the job. The guide will walk you through how to disassemble your shower valve, replace the diverter, and put it all back together again in functioning order.

This guide works to repair or replace a Delta Push Valve style diverter, or a model RP5649. If you have a different type of diverter, this guide may not work for you.

    • Reassemble the faceplate and knob. Remember to place the screws back in the places they were originally.

    • You will want to make sure the screws are properly lined up before screwing them into the face plate. Without lining them up, they will not tighten and the face plate will fall off. If this happens, push the screws in until you feel a slight click into place, then screw them back in.

Please turn on the water and engage the diverter. I want to see it work! I put in a new diverter and it did not completely divert ALL of the water. After installing the new diverter, about 10% - or so - of the water continued to come out of the faucet (and 90% was diverted up to the shower head). I'm not sure how to fix this problem. Perhaps, I will let a little water to flow out of the faucet, wasting water and electricity (to heat the water).
