Halp! Shower switch on faucet ejected a part!

[Avecdeleau]

Hi everyone,

This is the place to ask for help! The plunger part on the faucet came apart when I was jiggling it to release. A plastic part spat out of the faucet. Doesn't seem that anything cracked, or broke, or was lost.

Any idea how this fits back into the faucet? It seems pretty simple. Thanks!

You should be able to slide the plastic/rubber washer into a groove in your spout and the top piece also slides in and you snap the into the lower part, if it doesn't stay in place you will have to get a new one
Online or at a plumbing supply house

Maybe just get a new faucet?

You could but I bet that's a 10.00 part I'd give it a shot,I'm guessing that came off of a claw foot tub??????

No, it's a Moen slip-on faucet type.

That's from a diverter tub spout, not a faucet.

Thanks! Yes, I did some investigating and found how to fix it.
