I would like to identify this old bath/shower diverter so that I can obtain the correct washer and maybe an exploded diagram before tackling the rather awkward job.
To explain how it operates, the upright piece on the left is the hand shower, its hose (and connection to the diverter) pulls up to use it, being inconveniently connected to the valve below the top of the bath. The spout on the right fills the bath according to the position of the small lever at its base.
I have looked right through the entire Google library of "shower diverter" images but cannot find anything like it!
If it cannot be identified, any suggestions for replacing the (presumably perished) washer, and what to order in advance, would be greatly appreciated. Fortunately the bath panel can be easily unscrewed, but the diverter is in a very awkward place.
There is no brand name anywhere on the chrome. The main shower is by Osma, but some other fittings in the house apparently came from Howdens. One of the bath taps marked "HB" can be seen on the left.
Many thanks,
Alec.
