one alternative you can try is to remove the existing tub spout and install a divertor spout with a pull-up divertor button on it.Reinstall the original divertor with washers removed and consider it abandoned. I cannot find ANY trace of B/W parts or info.


: : : : I need a washer from a "Borg-Warner" shower diverter.
: : : : I can't find this manufacturer anywhere, and I fear
: : : : they've gone out of business...everyone tells me
: : : : they make transmissions now...

: : : : I need a new washer (not the faucet washer) for it,
: : : : since the old one has disintegrated, and without it,
: : : : water will only come out the spout and not the shower
: : : : head.

: : : : Any ideas about where to go to get a new washer?

: : : Try a plumbing parts house. They may be able in substitute a washer from another manufacturer or machine you a new part.

: : I've been to 4 plumbing supply companies, and none of
: : them have been able to find a replacement washer - one
: : even looked in a catalog from a company that
: : makes replacement parts for old fixtures and
: : it wasn't in there either -- I asked about using
: : a similar washer, or perhaps modifying a similar
: : washer to work, and he said it wouldn't last very
: : long and that these washers need to be the exact
: : fit for them to work properly.... he suggested
: : one other parts house that I'll try. He also
: : suggested (like all the others) that I have a
: : whole new shower handle-set installed.

: Where are you (State) ?
