When you pull on the handle a flap or little valve blocks the flow of water to the spout, making it run to the shower head Long story short, since I've spent the entire day at different hardware stores, and websites looking for the answer, and figured it out... before taking the advice of so many and replacing the entire spout.. The little black rubber washer is the value. When water pressure pushes against the hole, it actually pushes this black valve out just enough to stop the water from flowing, and the water flows to the shower head. If water is pouring out, try cleaning this black valve with toothpaste, as someone on another website recommended, and reinsert the valve. But don't push it all the way in. Water need to get behind this valve in order to fuction properly. Hope this answers the question...

∙ 13y agoTypically, a two-way valve that controls whether water is diverted to the tub spout or the shower head depending on the chosen position, usually of either a push-pull type with a notched rod serving as the 'handle' or the rotating type with a handle that matches existing handles but is usually slightly smaller.

How do you replace a shower diverter in a mobile home?
If you are simply replacing the inside parts of the diverter, then you do it just by unscrewing the cap under the handle and pulling out the main ball. If you cannot get the same parts,which may happen if it's old, then you will have to fit an entire new diverter. If you are removing the entire diverter then you must remove enough of the tile etc, and wall to expose all connections. I have done a few and generally cut all 4 pipes about 6" away from the diverter. I then fit the new diverter in place and make the pipes meet the diverter with short sections of PEX joined to the old pipes with brass compression fittings, and to the diverter with PEX MIP fittings.. Test thoroughly before restoring any parts of the wall. Once you are certain it all works perfectly you can restore the wall and tiles.

Why would just the kitchen faucet sputter when first turned on and no others?
If this faucet has a spray hose, turn on the faucet and open the spray hose.This will adjust the diverter in the kitchen faucet to the spray and pressureize the hose.This will allow the faucet to equilize and the sputter will stop if the spray diverter is working. It could be that the diverter part in the faucet is defective.
