Install Diverter Trim

Installation of the shower diverter trim will occur in much the same way as the shower trim. When the shower rough-in valve was installed, so to was the shower diverter valve. It was installed between the shower rough-in valve and the shower head and in a comfortable position on the wall of your choice, giving you the option to divert the water supply to a hand shower. Alternatively, a shower diverter trim can also serve to divert water from the shower head, to the bath tub faucet.

Each manufacturer, such as Delta, Moen and Kohler, offer their shower diverter trim to correspond with their own diverter valves. This is why it is important to choose your trim before any work is done on the water supply system leading into your shower. In the event that your adding a shower diverter trim to an existing shower setup, then you would only need to install the diverter valve between the shower rough-in valve and shower head.
