In Reply to: Tub/Shower Faucet Repair posted by Jim Melton on November 27, 1999 at 15:26:27:

: We recently acquired a home and although an inspector checked it, he apparently did not check the Tub/Shower Faucet in the downstairs bathroom. When I pulled the handle up to activate the shower head, the "guts" of the t-valve in the faucet dropped out. What do I need to do to repair this and what do I need from Home Depot?

: Thanks,

Jim, First of all why would you think of home depot for a plumbing repair part? Go to a plumbing supply house that will know exactly what you need and offer a quality replacement. It sounds like you need a diverter tub spout. Unscrew the spout counter clockwise to remove the old spout and take it with you to the supply house because there are several types. I hope this helps.
