Okay...FOR THE PLUMBERS out there! Here is my dilemma....To the left is the old shower faucet. You'll notice the piece right under the hot/cold water knob. Push it in, the water comes out of the shower, pull it out the water comes out of the spout. On the pic to the right (New) the piece is now on the spout to make the water come out of the shower and spout. What modifications do I need to make in order for this to work correctly. {{Side Note}} Plumbing and I DO NOT get along well so please act is if you are talking to a complete @#$%&! Any help is appreciated! TY
See picture here......

that spout will not work with the current shower valve.
if the push/pull stem on the valve does not work it can be easily replaced. it simply unscrews from under the cover..

There is a "plug" to seal the diverter's opening, but you will have to call Moen to get it, assuming they still make it.

i did not know that..
so, could someone remove the sliding divertor, cut off the inside and install the "plug" that would be left?

Or leave the original diverter alone and install the diverter spout.

Do they make a brushed nickel set up for these anymore?? Worst case, I will keep this setup and just throw a new one in.

No, they would unscrew the diverter with a 3/4" socket, then screw the plug in to take its place.

you would have to plug the diverter, because they do not make a brushed nickle trim ring with the diverter hole in it. Once that is done, you can use any Moentrol trim set you like.

3/4 socket? The Moen diverters I encounter take a 1 in socket.

Using the new tub spout won't make a lick of difference. It is like having a front door and a storm door. Closing either one will keep the pets inside.

It could be because I was going by memory, but in any case the process is the same.
