ABSTRACT:
A shower-tub diverter valve has a housing with a diverter chamber and a water inlet and shower and tub outlets in communication with the chamber. A diverter formed of a stem and a loosely attached cylindrical member are reciprocal in the chamber between a position providing communication between the inlet and the tub outlet, and a second position in which the diverter cylindrical member blocks said communication. The diverter cylindrical member is in substantial sealing relation with the tub outlet when in the blocking position. The cylindrical portion of the diverter is movable relative to the stem and the diverter chamber includes guide means for use in aligning the diverter cylindrical portion as it moves between the described positions.
