Review on ๐Ÿ› LASCO 08-1049 Bathtub Spout Diverter Lift Gate Kit with Washer by Omar Thorndike

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good in a pinch, but not quite right for me

Sold as a 'universal' replacement, but your mileage may vary. The metal shaft was a bit thicker than the one it replaced so I had to sand it down to get it to fit. If you need to do the same, insert the shank into a drill and run it through sandpaper for a smooth and quick reshaping. Although it looks identical to the original, the diverter doesn't seem to match the faucet as well as the old one. one. When activated, a high-pressure water jet escapes from the tap while the shower is running. I think it's okay if you have really dirty feet, but it's not really what I had in mind. At the end of the day, it's good to get the shower working as a last resort. I plan on swapping out the bindings at some point in the future, so I don't mind the extra "footwash" too much.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Hard to tell
