Abstract

A tub spout assembly includes a tub spout. The tub spout includes a spout inlet and a spout outlet. A diverter assembly is carried by the tub spout. The diverter assembly includes a diverter inlet and a diverter outlet. A handle is rotatable from a first position to a second position and vice versa relative to the tub spout. A sealing element is coupled to the handle so as to rotate with the handle. In the first position the sealing element is disposed apart from the diverter outlet to permit water to flow through the tub spout assembly and exit the tub spout assembly via the spout outlet. In the second position the sealing element obscures the diverter outlet to inhibit water from flowing through the spout outlet of the tub spout assembly. A torsion spring biases the handle and the sealing element toward the first position.
