Default Twin ell fitting
A recent thread was started about a faucet dribbling out of the showerhead while just running the tub filler. A real bummer.

I've made a twin ell out of copper fittings but its cheaper to just buy the twin ell.

Anyone else ever made a twin ell fitting?

I dont get it either. Do you cap something off instead of replacing the cartridge or stems?

Its a twin ell. Its used to direct the flow of water to the tub spout and keep the showerhead from dribbling while filling the bathtub. It also directs the water to the gate of the diverting tub spout holding the lift gate up when the shower function is selected.

Here is a breakdown of a kohler twin ell, found it on Terry Loves site,
doing a google search for twin ell plumbing.
Without the internal orfices I don't think TM's home made will do it.
