What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise this diverter repair kit for effectively stopping leaks and restoring proper water diversion to showerheads, with most reporting installation in under 15 minutes and significant savings versus hiring a plumber. Many highlight its reliability and affordability as a "money saver." However, some encounter fit problems with newer or non-Delta/Moen fixtures, noting issues like thick plastic valve wings or oversized lift rod tips requiring modification. A few report defects or complete failure. Despite compatibility challenges for certain models, most customers consider it a worthwhile, cost-effective repair solution.

DIY simple

Would Recommend

Simple to install, but did not include instruction for which side of washer faces out

Cheap piece of garbage

Would Not Recommend

I installed this according to the directions and we were thrilled to have a functioning shower again. Two hours later the gate fell off the post. I put everything back together and we hoped for the best. It's been installed for four days and has fallen apart nearly a dozen times. It's better than not having a shower at all, but it's still junk.

Too short

Would Recommend

I had to trim the plastic guide so that the diverter wouldn't always have some water trickling through to the shower. Worked fine after that, at least so far.

Worked well as a replacement

Would Recommend

Only issue was that the base (that goes against shower back) was not as wide as the hole in the fiberglass shell. We added extra caulking around the base, and it was perfect!

Worked perfectly

Would Recommend

Easy to install and helped with the full diversion of water to the shower head from the tub spout. We did clean up the hard water build up before installing.

Does not work with all Moen!

Would Not Recommend

Beware! This does not work universally with all Moen. Save yourself some time and money and get the OEM stuff for your faucet. Or, take yours off by loosening the allen head set screw and take it to the store with you.

Fixed fast

Would Recommend

This kit worked perfectly on my Price Pfister tub spout. Didn’t have to remove the spout, done in just a couple minutes. Great to have the diverter working again!

cheapest option

Would Recommend

at first I thought I need to buy a spout but this worked. I used some silicon grease on the washer to help with the seal.

The lift rod was too short, the gate was too wide to fit in the faucet and the rubber seal was too small.

Danco tub spout diverter repair kit install.

Would Recommend

Overall surprised how well this worked out. Would recommend. You might need some w-40 or other spray to help lube it up because I found it a bit tight but that is good almost all the water stopped leaking and went to the shower afterwards!
