Shower drips after switching off at 2 way valve

7doughnuts · 27 Jul 2011

Hi All,

I have just completed a wet room installation and have a two way diverter valve on the shower which switches between a large overhead drencher and a wall mounted shower head. When I switch off the shower the wall mounted shower head drips for about 5 minutes and dumps a considerable amount of water out of it.

Is this likely to be due to an air lock or something? Is this usual?

The two way diverter cost a fortune so surely that can't be at fault!

Any advice will be gratefully received.....and my Mrs will think I'm a genius if I manage to fix this one!

Cheers,
7d
