As long as my faucets are turned off, I can take out my diverter without shutting of my water supply. Correct?

Question

I have to exchange my faucet handles but do not wish to shut the whole house down just to take the diverter to Lowes to match them up.

These are my three shower faucet handles. The middle is the diverter and I wish to take it out and take it to the store to buy all new ones for each faucet. I do not have shut off valves in the bathroom. I can only shut off water to the whole house.

I'm not just replacing the faucet handles. I'm replacing the entire handle assembly down to the cleat.

Answer 1

I assume that you're referring to the diverter that diverts water from the bathtub spigot to the shower head "spigot".
You want to take off the 2 faucet handles and replace them (and I guess maybe the diverter handle too?).

If that is correct, then yes, you shouldn't have any problem. When you're taking off the faucet handles, just be sure you don't open the valve and start water running/dripping. If you do start the water dripping, then use the handle (before you take it off) to shut off the drip.

Answer 2

Look under the sink, there are 2 valves that supply to that faucet...close both of them first. test the shut off valves by turning on the faucet...if no water comes out, it is OK to remove the diverter. If water comes out after shutting the 2 valves under the sink...shut off the water supply valve to the house. Anymore questions...e-mail me.

You a minimum of have 2 valves interior the way. provider valves are great in case you ever might desire to break a grant at as quickly as, and in case you ever have not got any approach of combating a burst pipe - hammer it flat and curl up the tip. - straight forward to replace besides.
