ABSTRACT:
A diverter tub spout for use in a bathtub installation including a shower head interconnected to a common source of water. A floating valve member is positioned within the spout water passage and is responsive to water pressure to abut a valve seat to close the passage. A valve control member capable of holding the valve member remote from the seat to permit water flow is held in the flow position by a manually operable stem in a manner that positively allows water flow regardless of the magnitude of water pressure. The stem easily may be positioned to allow the floating valve to close, diverting water from the spout to the shower head, but upon the water pressure dropping below a predetermined level, the tub spout parts will automatically return to their flow positions.
