follow this steps and fix it. God bless you f the toilet bowl overflows, use a plunger or auger to eliminate clogs. If the toilet does not flush, tighten or replace the defective handle , adjust or replace the lift chain , or replace the flush mechanism. Jiggling the handle forces the lift chain or rod to re-seat the flush mechanism, telling you that something is awry. If the bowl drains sluggishly, remove the clog with a plunger or auger, or raise the water level in the tank . If water runs continuously through the toilet, lower the water level in the tank , adjust or replace a lift chain or wire , repair or replace a worn flush valve , clean or replace the valve seat assembly . If water appears under the tank, tighten the tank hold-down bolts , lower the water level in the tank, replace the float valve , replace a malfunctioning ball , or tighten nuts on the water supply line, replace leaking supply line . As a last resort, re-seat the toilet . If the seat is cracked or unsightly, replace it . If the bowl or tank is cracked or otherwise unacceptable, replace the entire toilet .

Hello Mark is the water still coming out the bottom when you pull up the lever to make the shower come on ? if it is then the tub valve is bad . if little or no water come out of the bottom then the head is going to be clogged and you have have buildup inside the filter /screen which could be located in the end of the hose at the head or inside the head unit itself. .

use a wrenceh to revove the valve

You have more water trying to come out of the spout than the diverter gate will allow so by default it find another path of least resistance which is up the shower pipe to the head. I would suggest just getting a new tub spout. Remove it by unscrewing like you would a jar lid or it may have an allan set screw underneath and towards the rear.

Hope this helps and good luck.

It should be compable with a new delta if you replace it with one or you can get washers to rebuild it yourself. Delta are a real good faucet.

Now there you need a good friend with some kind of handy man knowledge...send a pic if you can , and maybe this might help clarify the proper way to fix it...

Try taking the handle back off, and turning the water back on. Spin the valve stem and see if you can find the off position that way. Hope this helps

With the detailed part number you have, I would just walk into stores like Home Depot or any plumbing store and they will give you the exact parts you need. They are not expensive and a lot of them are standard parts and come in kits.Good luck.

You can take the handle off,and turn the water off. Pull chrome collar off,take large nut off with your hand only. Pull cartridge out and flip it 180 degrees.
