You installed a shower valve which is around 2.8 gpm. I have been researching this situation for my own remodel. There aren't any wall tub faucets that match the flow rate of the deck mounted roman faucets which are around 16 gpm. You can replace the shower rough in. Kohler has a wall mount 2 handle rough in that is around 10 gpm - K-302. You can select handles that are similar to your other faucets. You can also build a wall set up by using 2 volume rough ins with a connecting tee to the spout. Jado makes one - 865001.191 - and there is a New Haven single lever handle available for the trim - in fact, it may be the same as the handle for the shower trim. This set up would have the same flow rate as a roman tub filler. Both of these rough ins are 1/2 inch. I get so frustrated with some of these tradesmen. I have had 2 quotes and bad info from 2 plumbers for my remodel. Friday, I visited the local bathtub manufacturing plant to select my tub. I actually went into the warehouse and sat in tubs - it was more fun than trying on clothes. Their design engineer stopped by and explained to me how to install the tub, including the plumbing changes. My jaw just dropped because my plumbing changes can be done with just minor adjustments without cutting a lot of concrete and without totally replacing supply lines. The engineer also told me the max price I should pay. So not only will I be able to get the tub that I want, I will save money on my remodel. I had thought that I was going to have to put in a tiled shower base because I did not want to move the drain, but now I will be able to put in one of their acrylic bases without moving the plumbing - I will be going from 36 x 36 to 36 x 48. Since I can use an acrylic shower pan, I feel that I can do the rest as DIY and save even more money. I don't know if tradesmen do only what is easy or comfortable for them or what. I am upgrading from the builder shower valve on the wall for the tub to a deck mounted roman faucet. I am using Moen because their roman rough in is very DIY and comes with PEX connections. Good luck. Hopefully you saved some tile. Let us know what you end up doing. This post was edited by Anna_in_TX on Wed, Jan 22, 14 at 10:08

Kohler Archer has a lower height for the basin depth because of the overflow. But the Kohler overflow is more expensive. Jacuzzi Signature has a nice tub with good reviews 60 x 30 with apron. Pro Flo has a tub with good reviews 60 x 32 with apron. Pro Flo is Ferguson's house brand. Their tubs, including the Mirabelle, are made by Clarke.

We had a similar dilemma. I really didn't want to have to step into a tub to take a shower and didn't have room for a full size tub plus shower We installed a Fuji 40 x 40 by Hydro Systems. Americh makes one almost identical called the Beverly. We built the shower next to the tub and glass divides this part of the room (the wet room) from the rest of the bathroom. We are still in the middle of our remodel so we haven't used it yet, but I think it's a nice solution. There's a thread on this forum about these tubs. I think if you search Japanese soaking tub you will find it. Here is a link that might be useful: Hydrosystems Fuji

I bought another brass W&O and used the necessary parts with the existing. Done deal.
