My diverter was chattering when trying to push the button in, so I watched your video and replaced it. Works like a champion now. Thank you for including the part number of the diverter and size of the socket wrench! One thing I'll add, and it's probably common knowledge for this diverter, but there's no need to shut the water supply off for this repair. Thanks again!
Nice! You have my shower. Cant believe im looking this up, i do this for a living. Made the job faster knowing what i was getting into. Not sure if you cleaned that silicone mess up on that tile and face plate, but some advise if you wanna get a nice clean line. Scrape it off the tile with a straight razor blade angled into the silicone. Mask around your cover leaving a couple mm of chrome. Do the same around the wall leaving a peak of tile. Caulk or silicone around it, rub your finger around it until its smooth and chunks are left on the tape. Pull the tape off while still wet, maybe needing the razor to lift the tape. You’ll have clean professional caulking lines, no build up. Sorry if i’m just blowing smoke in the wind. 😊
We were quoted $800 this morning by a professional plumber to fix this.
Then I went online and found your video. We just fixed it. Thank you so very much for your clear explanation.
For those still wondering...you do NOT have to turn the water supply off to switch out a diverter. I repeat...DO NOT.
and be sure to get the deep socket 7/8 you'll need it
What's the harm in turning water main off ???
Dude. You helped me out big time. 6 pointed socket and part number. Thank you very much
Right ? Lol .
Freddie, very good detail. I too respect this You Tube community and appreciate all of the DIY support that's out here. One thing I will suggest it to add is once it's disassembled, we should clean the threads with a small wire brush. Upon re-assembling, I used waterproof grease as it was suggested by another person with years of plumbing experience. Also as you so accurately stated, turn the new diverter into the threads by hand and make sure you don't cross thread the system. Great work brother!
You should tell folks whether or not that plastic tab comes off before reinstalling the diverter stem. I'm not sure in the video wasn't clear whether or not that plastic tabs stayed on the end....
I have to do the exact same repair tonight, and I appreciate this video because it looks like it's not going to be as bad as I originally worried it might. Thank you so much!
Your video was most helpful. We had a broken Delta shower diverter, and followed your instructions, which were complete. We ordered the replacement part from Home Depot, (part #: RP5649-3), and took everything apart as instructed. We then replaced the device, and as mentioned in the video, I used tweezers to pull out the broken piece. Now our shower works perfectly. Thank you again.
Freddie
You made a job I thought I needed a plumber for so easy for me to fix
This was fixed for $11.00
Thanks
Deborah
YES thanks SO MUCH - glad you show the parts and everything you did. Lots of peeps don't.
Great! Thanks so much. My diverter shot out of the face plate like a bullet out of a gun. I was dreading repairing it myself, but you made it look so easy!
Omg! Thank you for making this very clear and easy to follow video! I’m going to do this now!!
An awesome video! Replaced my diverter valve last night and thanks to your video, it was a piece of cake! Thank you!!
You’re welcome!
really appreciated the specifics in this video! My night started with just replacing my tub spout but as I started working my diverter button in and out the damned thing busted on me and came right out of the assembly! water shot to the other side of the wall out of the diverter button hole until I got it shut off. =) good times good times. ;) For anyone who is reading, it looks like there is an aftermarket knockoff part (Danco 80971) that is supposed to be a direct replacement. I'd encourage you to read through some Amazon reviews first, but as of this writing the Delta part is $17.56 ($10 cheaper than Walmart online) and the Danco is $8.07. Cheers!
Thank you so much for this. You laid everything out perfectly to allow me to fix this diverter. Cannot thank you enough
Great video with complete details. Love the humility and gratitude. Thank you.
The part number is Delta RP5649 at 5:55. Thanks for the video!
Your video is the best of all of U Tube. You gave the part number needed to purchase repair kit and the socket size needed to use for the repair. Great job!!!!
Great video! Thank you for sharing. It seems as though there are a lot of us learning to take care of our own homes and cars these days.👍🏻🙌🏻🙏
Thanks man for the part number RP5649 and the socket tip which made it simple to remove the old diverter. The black plastic piece on my diverter was warped causing it to not divert all the water to the shower head. 15 minute job and it is working properly again.
I am deciding on a new installation and I was afraid to buy a faucet with a diverter built in like that but now I will buy one knowing it can be repaired. The other options are way too expensive! thank you! You're such a sweet guy!
Yyyeessss dude!! I'm good now. Everything installed perfectly. Part numbers and tips along the way were great, thanks for the detail.
Thank you for this! Your details helped this project go smoothly!
Thank you SO MUCH! This just happened to me and your video is exactly the help I needed! Thank you for empowering a single mom on a budget
Appreciate the clear and concise explanation. THe part numbers were super helpful .
Thanks for the video. I’ll be doing this repair tomorrow night.
I watched your video...and then proceeded to fix my leaky push button with no problems at all. Thanks so much!
Very helpful video. Great job! Thank you for the easy explanation and the part number/tools needed. This really helped!
Thanks for the video. I am doing this tomorrow as soon as I purchase the 7/8 socket.
Thank you for your time . It helped me a lot . Since you gave us the part number too.
Thank you very much. The video was VERY helpful.. I originally thought I'd need a new fixture and a plumber since my fixture is nearly 40 years old. I purchased the part, and the correct deep socket because I saw your video. I made the repair in about 5 minutes.
Thank you sir....I was starting to think I had something odd, but I kept scrolling on down and WHAM.... you saved the day my brother, Thank you so much for sharing, the university of you tube comes through for me once more (that is thanks to your kindness)
This is super helpful, thank you! So simple and clear. Just what I needed.
Thank you for doing the video! This same problem had me stressed as well. You're great!
Very helpful, man. Thank you for doing this video.
No problem. Thank you!
Thanks, bro for making the video. Worked just like you showed in your video. Peace be with you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! Just did the replacement. I had to get a grinderninvolved because the diverter was too long for the deep socket but all your information was on point!!! Thank you again!!!
Tonight is first time I search for video to repair the broken diverter at my master bed room shower faucet. This video is excellent, very clear and give me very useful information to fix the diverter. 1/15/2020 Chino Hills California.
Thank you so much for this video. Home depot did not have the part in my town, but Ace Hardware had a similar part. I fixed the shower and not only am I happy but my wife is happy. Only about $35 to fix it myself, including the part, the caulk, and the deep 7/8 socket with 6 points. I didn't have to shut off the water to the house, either.
Thank you! I appreciate this video and the tip on the socket type. Have a great day.
Thank you for the video, this was very helpful! Fixed my shower in minutes 👏🏽
What we all should do, share our knowledge and force your kids to watch 😂. Great video.
Delta has lifetime warranty. You can call Delta customer service to get a new diverter. The issue is that it take up to 2 weeks to get the part shipped out to you. If you can afford the wait, its a good deal.
You help me so much. 6 point is the key.
Thank you thank you.
Thanks, helped with the part#! Very easy fix, Much appreciated.
Man thank you, this same thing just happened, this was sooo helpful. God bless u
This video is the most specifically helpful video on CZcams. Thanks so much
Appreciate you. Still helping people to this day.
Very clearly done. Well ✔👍done! Thank you again
Thank you very much for this video. I was able to replace with no problem at all. You rock!
Thanks for the video. Exactly what I needed!
Thank you so much!!! You made it possible for me to repair my broken Delta shower diverter. Thank you again!!!

Great video!!!!! thank you so much. Got the parts and installed in 5 minutes.....
Worked like a Miracle. Thanks
Thank you very much for your help! 🙏

Thank you! You described exactly what I went through. Very stressful. Your video was the first one that popped up, and the only one I needed to watch. Thank you for your straight forward video, my husband got it fixed in less than 20 mins!
Glad to see videos like the one you put up stay on here. It helped big time. Many Thank yous!!

Nice job Freddie. You even supplied the part number :-) Thank you.
Thanks for making this, big help!
This video was very helpful. However, the deep socket wasn’t deep enough so I picked up a valve socket kit at Lowe’s. Thanks for sharing
Thanks that is just what I needed, off to Home Depot
Thanks for the help!
I just fixed mine thanks to you brother thumps up for you
Thanks for this !! Haven't verified if this will work for me, but at least it has stopped me from tearing down the wall in my bathroom so i could get to the fixture !!
This was very helpful. I have the exact same faucet and problem. Thanks for the awesome video😁
Thank you! I know I will be able to do this!!
Great video really appreciated it was simple and easy, so sorry about the other guy ripping you off.
Thanks for your tutorial on push pin diverter repair.
Did you have to turn off your main water line off first? You didn’t say in the video so I was wondering before I unscrewed it.
Old question, I know. But others may come along. The answer is no. To replace that diverter you do not have to turn off the water.
For the record. There's also a plug that you can purchase that does away with that style diverter and you can use the more typical diverter on the tub spout. It's a little pricey at about $16. and you have to swap out the tub spout.
I know it is assumed but you MUST turn off the water feeding the shower (whole house) before you get started. Looks so easy. Thanks
That's bad information. This is just the shower diverter valve. There is no water pressure unless you turn the knob on. Depending on the age of your whole house valve, and style, you might create another problem turning off the whole house valve. If you have to turn off the water, and you have an old valve that hasn't been used in years, it's safer to shut the water off at the meter than the side of the house. My water heater started leaking. I shut the standard twist spigot off, replaced the water heater but when I went to turn the water back on the handle turned but the gate valve would not open. So I ended up cutting out the old valve and sweated in a new 1/4 turn gate valve. Nobody ever does it but your valves should be exercised occasionally to keep them free. Especially all of the sink and toilet shut offs. If you haven't excersised them don't start now because they will fail. I replace the shut off valves everytime I work on a fixture because mine are all original from 1986 and fail if I try to use them.
There's a special tool called an olive puller to remove the ferrell on the compression style fittings. Invaluable if you ever need to replace one
Thank you Freddie for posting this video. I woke up this morning turned on the shower and see the water shooting straight across my tub from the diverter, this video was very information and I'm going to try to replace the diverter myself today.
this was super helpful! thank you so much for the clear explanations.
enjoyed the video it was very helpful i'm having the same issues. One thing you failed to mention ...do i have to turn off the main water source.
Awesome, super helpful video!
Thank you for this. It helped a lot! Mine was so bad the push button shot out. Lol
Great video! Saved me a ton of time and money! You are the Man!
