Abstract: A shower door track assembly is disclosed. The shower door track assembly includes a vertical support. The shower door track assembly further includes a lower rail connected to the vertical support configured to receive a roller of a sliding shower door. The shower door track assembly includes a connecting projection connected to the vertical support. The shower door track assembly further includes a removable header including an upper roller retainer. The removable header is removably attachable to the connecting projection such that when the removable header is attached to the connecting projection, the upper roller retainer prevents a received roller from being removed from the lower rail, and when the removable header is detached from the connecting projection, the received roller is removable from the lower rail.

Abstract: A handshower cradle assembly includes a waterway body, a handshower cradle, and an actuator. The handshower cradle is coupled to the waterway body. The actuator is configured to reduce a flow rate of water through the waterway body in response to a handshower being received within the handshower cradle. In some embodiments, the handshower cradle is configured to engage with the actuator under the weight of the handshower to adjust a position of the actuator with respect to the waterway body.

Abstract: An adapter includes a plurality of individually separable collars that allow for easy, on-site adjustment of the length of the adapter based on a measured offset of an outlet of a water supply assembly to which the adapter is attached. An exterior of each collar is configured to sealingly engage the outlet of the water supply assembly, such that the adjustment to the length of the adapter does not compromise the ability of the adapter to be sealingly coupled to the water supply assembly. A slip fitting provided along a downstream end of the adapter allows the plumbing fixture to be installed flush against a wall in a desired orientation, without compromising the sealing engagement between the adapter and either of the plumbing fixture or outlet opening.

Abstract: A diverter seal member for a diverter structure of a tub spout structure includes a central body, a first seal extension, and a second seal extension. The central body includes a first side, a second side, and an aperture extending completely through the central body between the first side and the second side of the central body. The first seal extension extends from the first side of the central body and around a central axis that extends axially through a center of the aperture. The first seal extension includes a first extension side, a second extension side, and an extension end. The extension end of the first seal extension extends substantially perpendicularly to the first extension side and the second extension side of the first seal extension. The second seal extension extends from the second side of the central body around the central axis of the aperture.
