Hi...
In a new bathroom installation in the basement, I installed a new shower and tub faucet ( Moen brand ).
I followed all installation instructions including the sizing of the pipes , height and placement of various parts.
The problem is that when the water is supposed to come out from the tub spout only, there is some amount of water coming from the shower head also. This happens in 2 or 3 points as you rotate the handle from off to cold and to hot.
I thought I got a defective item. I then replaced everything with a Delta brand shower and tub faucet.
However I got the exact same problem. The water comes from the shower head at exact those 2 or 3 points in the rotation arc.
What is the reason?
Can someone please explain how is this supposed to work ( setting to spout only vs setting to shower only - what makes it work one way or the other )?
Thnaks.
