Bath faucet system

a housing comprising a water inlet, a water outlet, and a cavity extending between the water inlet and the water outlet;

an internal waterway disposed within the cavity between the water inlet and the water outlet, the internal waterway comprising:

a water jacket coupled to the water inlet and comprising a hose connector and a separate aperture through the water jacket;

• and

a hose coupled to the hose connector and the water outlet and configured to prevent water from contacting the housing as water flows through the internal waterway;

• and
• a diverter rod extending through the aperture of the water jacket and configured to move relative to the water jacket between an open position and a closed position.

wherein the first set of seals are positioned between the diverter rod and the water jacket and configured to prevent water from leaking out of the water jacket via the aperture;

• and

wherein the second set of seals are positioned between the diverter rod and an inlet to a diverter assembly and configured to prevent water from entering the diverter assembly when the diverter rod is in the closed position.

An internal waterway configured to deliver water between a water inlet and a water outlet of a bath faucet, the internal waterway comprising:

a water jacket coupled to the water inlet and comprising a hose connector and a separate aperture through the water jacket;

a hose coupled to the hose connector and the water outlet and configured to transfer water therein;

• and
• a diverter rod extending through the aperture of the water jacket and configured to move relative to the water jacket between an open position and a closed position.

An internal waterway configured to deliver water between a water inlet and a water outlet of a bath faucet, the internal waterway comprising:

a water jacket coupled to the water inlet and comprising a first aperture permitting the water to exit the water jacket and a second aperture permitting a diverter rod of the bath faucet to extend through the water jacket;

• and

a hose coupled to the first aperture of the water jacket and to the water outlet;

• wherein the water jacket and the hose are contained at least partially within a housing of the bath faucet and configured to prevent the water from contacting the housing when the water flows through the internal waterway.
