Abstract: There are disclosed herein spout assemblies, such as tub spouts or the like, for use in a fluid system employing a diverter valve and a shower head or the like. Most of the parts of the assemblies may be made of plastic, and include a spout body having inlet and outlet chambers and a partition with an aperture therethrough separating the two chambers. A lift button has a stem extending into the outlet chamber, and the stem is coupled with a flapper or gate mounted at the upstream side of the aperture in the partition for terminating the flow of water through the spout assembly to thereby cause diverter valve opertion, and flow through a shower head or the like in a conventional manner. In one embodiment, the stem is coupled with a spring biased nozzle in the outlet chamber, the nozzle being coupled with the flapper. In another embodiment, a spring is coupled with the flapper to bias it toward an open position.
