Abstract
A shower valve assembly configured to divert water between a tub port and a shower port. The diverter valve assembly position or state is changed by pushing a button connected to a stem and a poppet valve. When the water supply is turned off, a poppet spring shifts the poppet valve to a tub open position, and a check valve spring opens a check valve, allowing water from the shower port to flow out of the tub port.
