ABSTRACT:
A tub/shower diverter assembly includes a housing and a diverter valve. The housing has a water inlet, a shower outlet and a tub outlet. The diverter valve is formed of two removably joined parts, a stem and a sleeve. The stem has a portion extending outwardly from the housing for operation of the diverter. The sleeve controls the flow of water through the diverter and has a hollow interior, spaced inlet ports and an outlet port which may be moved into alignment with either the housing tub outlet or the housing shower outlet. The sleeve may have variably sized interiors to accommodate different flow rates to meet different water codes.
