Review on Moen Monticello Diverter Tub Spout 3807CP - Chrome/Polished Brass by German Diaz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Make sure you get the right type - exposed or threaded

I'm happy with the diverter as it directs all but one portion of the water into the shower head but that's not the one reason writing. As others have pointed out, there are two ways to install a divertor. It is important to choose the type of switch that matches the one being replaced. This block is an overhead redirector. He expects to find a smooth copper tube that you will thread through the bushing in the diverter. You tighten things with a hex bolt. If you are replacing a clamp diverter, installing this unit is a breeze. I substituted a Moen switch that looked exactly like this device. However, as I found out, it was a threaded outlet. He didn't have a sleeve. Instead, it had threads at the end of the device near the spout. The threaded whip expects to find threads at the end of the copper pipe. You install it by screwing the elbow onto the pipe. These two types are not compatible. You cannot substitute one for the other. Before you buy this elbow, you can look under the elbow and feel if you can find a screw or a hex head. If not, try unscrewing the diverter from the wall. This can take quite a bit of force. If it unscrews, you really need a threaded outlet. Discover the Moen 3809BN bath spout
