- Unscrew the pre-assembled diverter handle trim from the diverter .
- Slip the diverter valve body up from the bottom of the tub through the appropriate hole. From tub
top, screw the handle trim with the flange washer back onto the diverter. The
washer must be gently pressed against the surface. Make sure that the handle turns
freely in both directions.
