John Dirks Jr Posted October 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Yes. Its what I figured. Now, if you don't have access to see behind the wall, it's just a "could be" kind of thing I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejager Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Only a couple of screws to take the handle and escutcheon off. Any luck with a moisture meter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmcg Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Many, many years ago I was a maintenance man at an apratment complex. All the shower diverters like that allowed the water to leak behind the walls. Not a matter of if, but when. Spend a few extra bucks and buy a good one. Everytime I see these I call them out.
