Replacing a Shower Diverter Valve

I show how to remove an old shower diverter valve and install a replacement. I also walk through applying PTFE tape to ensure more water tight seals to prevent leaks.

came off much too easily. obviously staged.

Is it really that bad or you just a tiny guy?

[@Vincerama]

Wait, so you replaced the diverter with a different diverter that matched threads? I didn't think you could do that. I thought you would have to buy the exact same brand/model stem.

Woah so I might not have to cut a hole in my wall and replace the whole pipe assembly? Thank you for the video! This has taken a lot of stress off my mind for fixing my shower pressure.

My diverter does not loosen

[@tedlahm5740]

of course. his video was obviously staged.

[@frankcheco7550]

My diverter is not switching from tub to shower all the way.

Nice video. Did you check the valve seat? Maybe not needed but could have been mentioned. What a beautiful pink bathroom. Eleanor would be proud.

Thanks for the video... was the first with so much detail and assistance

[@ManzellaBob]

Did you really have to turn off the water for this job?

[@VincentStevenson]

Not required if you keep the hot and cold off, but nice to be safe

[@tedlahm5740]

The SEAT sir, check the seat?

[@tedlahm5740]

looks like Gerber

Thank you for the little details! I am not sure if I'll attempt this or just hire a plumber, but your step by step instructions are easy to understand!

Why don’t they teach this is high school … instead of useless crap like physical education or math lol

[@HaHa-k9j3d]

Because you still wouldn’t have paid attention just like you didn’t in the comments, you’d never be able to get it off sooooo why would you need to know 😂
