Fantastic video Adam! Thank you. My brother called tonight since his Moen shower diverter was splitting the water 50/50 between the spout and shower head. He was panicking because he had called Four Seasons Plumbing who charged him $90.00 to come to his house to inspect the problem and they gave him an estimate of $600.00 to repair the shower diverter. NOT KIDDING! Moen is going to ship the repair kit to my brother free of charge and I will install it for him. I hope he buys me a slice of pizza.

The quote was the lowest of bids from Angie's List, unfortunately. BUT - I had my daughter watch the video thinking she would offer me encouragement and instead she came over and did it for me. Again, thanks so much for the clear instructions - it works great now!

If every school, technical school, etc would have a trainer like this pro who explained how to stuff like this... so clear... students would learn 10x. Thanks!

Perfect, clear explanation. Much appreciated. Loved no music and added talk. Just clear. Thank you.

THANK YOU. I'm a very sub-standard handy-man, and this worked perfectly. In actuality, it appears only the washer slipped out of place, and I was able to simply put it back in as instructed. It did not appear damaged or worn in any way. If this does not work permanently, I'll purchase a new assembly. My cost of repair = $0. Very happy here.

Just fixed the hotel shower. The technician didn't know what he was doing so I told him to bring me the plastic piece, so he did and I showed him 😂 at first he asked if I could move to a new room. Not today. Thanks for the tutorial.

Completely green in maintenance and you explained and showed that 1000x more expertly than my supervisor who is supposed to be teaching me

You saved us over $100 ! We thought we needed to replace the entire unit, but only spent $6.00 for the spout diverter repair kit and it works like new! Thanks!!! YOU ROCK!!!

Thank you!! I knew it couldn’t be too hard but had no idea where to start. This was so easy to follow!

I personally want to thank you for thus video. I was about to jump in the shower and thus issue happened. I was soooo frustrated but within mins of watching you video, I was able to fix this. Thank you sooooo much

Fixed the shower all on my own thanks to your amazing video! The replacement gate didn't fit, but all I needed was that rubber seal from the package. I replaced that, put it all back together, and now it works even better than before! Saved me the hassle of waiting on my landlord, thank you!!

I appreciate the video. You speak clearly so I didn't have any trouble hearing and there wasn't a lot of background noise. Good camera / video. I didn't know how to even go about it before watching the video. It took me longer than it took you because I'm just not as good at it as you are but not a real problem to change it, and for $7.96 including sales tax.

dude my spare bathroom has been driving me crazy for the past 13 years that i bought my house and has gotten really bad and super annoying to me. i imagine it probably wasted around 2 or 3 gallons of water each time someone showers. I think i have ocd but i like all my plumbing and what not to work properly in my house. super easy cheap fix i cant believe it completely stopped the leak. not even a drop! So beautiful man. I went back with square for square like you said. if it was my main shower it probably would have been one of the first things i did to my house. thank you!

Great tutorial as usual. I'm a retired home improvement contractor that now does handyman work. Your videos have helped me immensely.

Hi Adam, I am a 66 years-old Asian lady. I have a rental unit which had a spout leaking problem. I called a friend who got paid to fix things around my house. He decided to have a movie relaxing day today, and would come tomorrow after 5pm. Tenants are not willing to wait. So I searched in KZread, and I found your step by step, very detail video. I decided to do it myself, and I did it! I am very thankful for your sharing. You make an old lady very happy today 🤓. Thank you, thank you, thank you…..

Was about to make a trip to Home Depot this morning for a new faucet or call a plumber. Decided to watch some videos, yours was by far the easiest and most informative. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, saved me a bunch of time and money! Just needed a good cleaning.

Just wanted to say "Thanks"! Your concise and clear video helped me get my shower fixed in 10 minutes flat. Thanks a ton, dude, your work is really helping people ❤️

Thank you!!!! Replacing this tomorrow as soon as the hardware store opens!!! Life saver!!

As a retired man, who used to just hire his repairs done, and now finds he is doing a lot of minor jobs and doing them for the first time, thanks. I never would have gotten past the initial failure to remove this part, the part being where it could not be observed. And that was the hardest and longest part of this repair, fiddling with opening the part to allow it to be removed. Well, the other time consuming part was traveling into the near by town, since the hardware store in my little town would have sold me a new faucet rather than a part for the repair at 1/10th of the cost.

Thank you so much! Re-bath was going to charge me $125 to come out and do this! You are so appreciated!!! new subscriber for Life❤️

Thank you! It’s been SO hot and the shower head stopped working so we were painstakingly bathing the sweat and heat away. I know realistically we cannot afford a plumber so I went looking on KZread and you helped me right away.

I watched 1/3 of video and knew I could do it. Thanks so much. I purchased the exact one you suggested and then had fixed in 3 minutes. My wife thinks I’m a hero! 😀

It takes a lot for me to comment on videos, but I had to on this one. I had the issue where water was slowly coming out of the shower handle and a majority of the rest of the water was uncontrollably spraying from the spout still when the diverter was supposed to be engaged. I have a spout that doesn't seem to have a set screw and seems to be impossible to twist off. This video was so clear and concise as to what I needed to do to fix this issue myself without having to shell out more cash than needed to have a plumber come in... not to mention waste their time when they could be taking care of much bigger jobs than this one. I followed the steps of this video and sure enough, only have of the black washer still remained. Thank you for taking the time to clearly show everyday homeowners how to fix something simple without having to break the bank!

Fantastic video and info, Adam! Had no idea the diverter was replaceable! We've been plagued with a guest shower that screams, and quite embarrassing when having guests overnight. I knew it was the diverter either corroded or hardened. Trying to remove the entire spout was proving difficult (felt like the copper plumbing was going to come with it). Based on your video, I just removed the diverter (took 2 minutes) and sure enough the gasket is hard as a rock. Heading to the store today to get a kit. Related topic, I've watched a couple of your electrical wiring videos. Just installed a new disposal this weekend, and didn't twist the wires as you recommend. Going to open it up real quick and make better wire nut connections. Keep the videos coming!

Your video saved me last night. In all my years, I've never had to replace a diverter. I had guests coming, so 8 pm was not the best time to have to figure out how to fix it. Your tutorial was fantastic and showed me exactly what I needed to do. Thank goodness Home Depot stays open late!!! Aloha!

I just bought my first home (1930s). Thank you for saving me time and money

Well done, Sir!

It‘s just a great video that is straight to point, concise, and fix the issue. Excellent!

New sub here! I have a husband who is a handyman but it takes months for him to fix anything in our own house😂 I am going to Homedepot right now!

Excellent tip! Thank you so very much, Sir. I’ve switched out the entire spout before and was very unhappy with the way the new spout didn’t set flush against the tile. It would’ve required another whole turn but my pipe didn’t have the threads and it would’ve been stuck at an angle. I’m going this route for my new problem. Thanks again. You’ve earned another subscriber.

Have a husband that doesn’t have time for fixing things. Yep I do. Thanks great demo. ❤

This is the second project you’ve helped me with. Thank you, truly for taking the time to teach everyone.

Awesome! Really glad to hear you are finding value in the channel. Thanks a lot for the feedback Steve!

Excellent Repair video and very clear explanation. I had a Moen Faucet and I got the repair kit; did the replacement and the diverter now works normally. Thank you. I wanted to know how it works, but could not find anything from Googling. I try to put in my explanation here and hope to help others who are interested in knowing how it works as well as get the repair done. Rubber Seal with a hole in the center. The faucet water inlet hole is bigger than the hole of the rubber seal, but smaller than the seal itself. So the rubber seal could seal off the inlet hole completely when pulled to the UP position, forcing water to come out of the shower. The water pressure coming into the center hole of the seal can inflate the rubber seal slightly to produce a water tight setup. Therefore, a soft rubber seal is important. When it is too old it can harden and would not provide a water tight setup. It shows how clever this design is. The water pressure on the Plastic Gate would hold the Gate in the UP position. The Gate would not fall down because of frictional force. However, if the water supply is cut, The Gate would not be held there and falls to the DOWN position and this also the default position. So, next time you turn on the water, it would come out from the faucet and not the shower. When showering (ie, Gate in the UP position), if you manually push down the rod/button, you can overcome the frictional force created by the water supply and get the Gate back to the DOWN position, stopping the showering, and let water come out of the faucet. Note 1, the faucet water inlet hole is inside the faucet you have to use a light to find it. Note 2, water tight to the water inlet hole and around the circular plastic ring surrounding the rubber seal on the Gate, you have to examine a diverter repair kit to appreciate the design.

Thank you for this video, my shower is doing just this and I was concerned it was going to be a bigger issue. This is such a relief, heading to Home Depot to give this simple fix a try! Thank you for the easy tutorial for those of us house wife’s trying to be handy!! 😊

Thank you so much for doing this video, it was much easier than I was thinking and I will do this myself.

Oh, So that is how you take that little piece out. Hmm once I saw this and got the correct kit, it took about 2 minutes to fix. Thank you for sharing.

THANK YOU for this EXCELLENT video❗️ I’m a complete plumbing bonehead ( heck, I’m many kinds of a bonehead ) and even I was able to get it fixed perfectly in 84 seconds, once I found the correct repair kit by looking at spout gate images online, this after pulling out the original gate. For the extraction, I used a narrow head standard screwdriver inserted between the two plastic holding tabs where they gripped the lift rod. No tools required for the install phase, friction fit. Perfect repair, under $8, thanks to YOU. Note: the old gasket was intact, but 38 years old and hard as a rock. PS: The new black gasket sits slightly recessed in its socket in the gate, but under water pressure it moves forward & becomes flush to the valve seat to make a good seal. Only after the install that I noticed that the kit I used was the exact same one in your video. Surprisingly, the specialty plumbing repair supply store that I called first did not have it, but a big box store did. Plumbing repairs make me very anxious, but you gave me the confidence to git it done. Adam, you are a HERO to many!

You're a life saver. Thanks for a concise and helpful video.

Very straightforward video without waste of time. Thank you! Might also start by turning the spout counterclockwise and turning up so it's easier to access the parts for us old folks who don't want to lay down in the tub and work upside down. Or, removing the spout and replacing it after repair with new teflon tape & etc. That also allows you to clean any sentiment/corrosion that is allowing water to leak around the seal. Thanks again!

Thank you for explaining this repair in senior citizen/female knowledge. On my own, trying to do things on my own, do to cost and having low budget. I DID IT, my shower is now working. THANK YOU THANK YOU😊

Clear cut instructions.! I've done this before with ease but wanted to view your clip out of curiosity.. Your saving so many people from being ripped off by money hungry plumbers. A five to ten minute job if that, should not cost a consumer anywhere close to two hundred bucks ! So sad ! Thank you for your clip, your empowering home owners and especially vulnerable woman.

Extremely helpful. Wish all repair videos were this easy to follow. Cheers!

I’ve never been more excited of repairing in my life!! Thank you for this video ❤🎉

Thank you so much! This just happened to my home shower and I didn't know how to fix it until this video! Great advise and guide! Lifesaver !

Thank you!!! I was almost going to replace all the fixtures in the bathroom because no one seems to make the antiqued brass any longer and that's what came in the bathroom in the condo I bought. When I came to youtube to see if there were any tricks I needed to know about how to replace the spout with a diverter, I saw your video on replacing the diverter itself...and that's all I needed! (I'm female, well past retirement age, but I've never been afraid to jump into "doing it myself.") Thank you, so much.

Thank you for keeping this simple. I knew it was a simple fix. I watched 4 videos and was not satisfied with the process they were giving. So, I kept looking and found exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate it.

I was hoping this would be a simple repair and it looks like it will be. Got my Diverter Valve (DV) out thanks to your advice and think I found a replacement on Amazon for the lovely price of $8. I took mine out and it was sitting back a little from the front of the plastic holder and at 17 years old, a little hard. I tried an o-ring behind it to push it out a little but that didn't help, hence the order for new ones. Thanks for the look inside the nozzle!!

Thank you. My plastic part was square and Home Depot in Canada only carries Moen kit which are rectangular. I ended up just replacing the o ring .key is to have a small long nose plier to pull out the old white plastic part without damaging it, so you can reuse it. Subscribed!

Adam, you did a GREAT JOB explaining this! Thanks much!

Instructions worked for my Price Pfister diverter problem. Thanks for such clear instructions! I found just the gasket which was all I needed for $2.50 at Ace hardware. I also realized there was some mineral buildup inside that was causing a problem so after I took the diverter out I wadded up tin foil and scrubbed the inside of the spigot. Seemed to make a huge difference. I still have about 10% that's not going through the shower but I'm okay with that compared to 70%.

Thanks. I have been a maintenance man for years and no one has ever offered training or instruction for this. Thanks

This is exactly what I needed! I thought I was going to have to replace the whole spout. omw to the store to get that diverter kit now. Thank you!!!
