Single handle tub faucet will not divert to shower head. Tub faucet just sputters water all over, only a dribble comes out of shower head. I took shower head off, but water will still not divert to shower pipe. It comes out for a second but then back to tub faucet. Not sure which Price Pfister model I have. Its a single handle, brushed stainless.

The diverter on the tub spout is bad you need to replace the tub spout or the pull up diverter if its a separate piece if you have the owners manual with a parts diagram you can order it on line from the manufacturer or a plumbing supply store. you will need to unscrew the tub spoup from the wall to do this use a broom handle or something similar inserted inside the spout and turn it to the left to remove it from the wall

SOUNDS LIKE A RUBBER WASHER HAS FAILD , YOU NEED TO OPEN THE TAPS TO INSPECT THE WASHERS AS THEY MIGHT BE BLOCKING THE WATER FLOW .

Tube and shower installation. Shower head dribbles water while filling tub. I used 1/2 copper and a shark tooth 1/2 copper to 1/2 FIp for my tub spout. I believe the fitting is restricting the flow t

It sounds like the diverter is not fully opening to allow the water to run to the spout. If the diverter is in the wall, perhaps there is a seal in there that needs replacing. If it is in the spout, just replace the spout,

Why does the water not flow from shower valve when turned on?

Do you have water coming out of the tub spout and not the shower head? If so how does the water get directed to the shower head,is it by pulling up the diverter on the tub spout?If water is still coming out of the tub spout then the diverter is bad and the tub spout needs to be replaced.

Water sprays out the diverter

Remove hot/cold button in handle, remove screw/pull off handle. Remove the two screws in the wall plate/remove plate. Use a wrench to remove the diverter assembly. Get new diverter assy and reinstall eveything. You don't need to turn off the water.
