Abstract

A tub and shower diverter assembly includes a manifold sub-assembly that is configured to be detachably coupled to, and in fluid communication with, an existing waterway connector of a conventional tub and shower diverter system. The manifold sub-assembly includes a manifold, first and second flow control valves coupled to the manifold, and first and second tolerance adjustors adjustably coupled to the first and second flow control valves, respectively. The first flow control valve is configured to provide a flow of water to one of a tub or a shower device. The second flow control valve is configured to provide a flow of water to the other of the tub or the shower device. The first and second tolerance adjustors are each configured to be selectively adjusted to change an axial position of the respective tolerance adjustor relative to a wall adjacent the manifold sub-assembly.
