Handheld Shower and Tub SET

13 years ago

I have scoured the web for a shower kit consisting of Handheld Shower on a Rail, Tub Spout and a single lever Faucet serving shower and tub. Unsuccessful, I tried to buy each component individually but that is proving too difficult to match trims/valves etc. I need this set up x2 for the kids bathrooms in a new build.

The plumber wants me to use Moen (that is what he sells!)...but Moen are my least favorite!

Anyone have any ideas?

I believe this is what you are asking for (see link). If you really wanted the handheld to be on a bar, you could easily purchase one along with this and add it to allow adjustable handsprayer.

Hansgrohe has many shower systems that can be designed to fit your needs very easily and using only one valve. If you need information, I would suggest asking the experts at hometodreamhome. I speak with these guys quite a bit for designs for my own customers.

This was nerve-racking for me, too. We're using American Standard Serin. Not sure what your style is... this is on the contempory side but Amer Std might have other options for you. Serin has the shower/tub combo and the handheld on slide bar.

So you have no tile tub deck around the tub? You have no shower in this tub? Yes, you can have a wall faucet and the handshower installed on the tub deck. The issue with a wall faucet is that there aren''t any high fill faucets for deep soakers if you need 60 gallons rapidly filled. You can use a wall faucet and have the piping for the shower head go down to the tub deck and install a handshower at the end. Shower valves have higher flow rates for the bottom port for bathtubs. The flow rate varies from brand to brand but is generally can range from 5 to 7 gpm. The diverter for the handshower will be in the tub spout. A roman faucet is around 16 gpm. Kohler does have a 3 handle system that is around 10 gpm. You can build your own wall system with 2 separate volume control valves and a diverter valve. What some people do is build a tile ledge or shelf in front or on the side of the tub that is integrated with the tile tub deck or wall and then mount a roman faucet on top of it. If you don't have space for that, then you can build a large niche in the wall and install the roman faucet in that. Let us know what you want to do and we can give you more details.

Hi - no kit, have to piece it all together yourself. There is a three way diverter, volume control, theramostatic valve, tub spout, fixed shower head with plate, handheld shower, shower hose and mounting bracket for handheld. I'm not sure but I think the hose is 5 ft long and yes - they come in different lenghts - at least for grohe. If I can find it - I think I may have the invoice. I will look tonight.

Thanks all for the comments and suggestions. While bonnieg011 's arrangement would technically work for me, it would be more effort to install. I'd have to drill through another corner of the support structure, and get four long hoses to connect the faucet to the levers 5 feet away. Plus, while it does sound nice to be able to top up the hot water without getting it in the face, or having to re-arrange yourself to reach the controls, it also seems like it'd be a pain to fill the tub in the first place, since you'd have to adjust the knobs, then run over to the other end of the tub, check the temp, then run back. I know it wouldn't be that bad, but I also just prefer the look of all the chrome things clustered together. -Joel

I actually found one by Delta. The thing is we do not live in the US so have to find one with a valve that is stocked here/the plumber can service...

I just figured out I do not need the hand rail, or I could add it later.

I wanted that too, but didn't like any of the pre-packaged sets I saw. So I bought the standard tub/shower set and then a hand shower/slide bar separately. I dug around for great deals (eBay) so i did not have to spend a lot, and ended up getting a nice combo (Grohe Relexa handshower set and Moen tub/shower set.) Of course, I'll just not use the shoerhead from the Moen set, and install the handshower instead.

I used Hansgrohe products when I remodeled the two kids' baths three years ago, and I have been very pleased. I bought all of the fixtures at faucet.com.
I have a wall bar with a hand held mounted on it, and no fixed wallmount shower head.

What you are describing is exactly what I did. It wasn't all available as a set, but it was easy to order the pieces that I needed. Here is what I used:
HG06890 wall bar
HG27458 wall supply (where the water comes out of the wall for the hose)
HG28276 shower hose
HG06127 hand held shower
HG06088 tub spout
HG06064 trim kit for thermobalance II
HG06627 thermobalance II rough in valve with service stops. If you will have a single valve that can be used for two things, like a handheld shower head and a tub spout, you need II. If you will just have a handheld shower you need a thermobalance I valve. The service stops make it so you can work on the valve without turning off the water for the whole house. Not a necessity, but more convenient, and only a few dollars more.

Just because you don't see it offered as a kit doesn't mean you can't have it. Hansgrohe is well rated and, while not cheap, I think it's better quality than Moen, so I think Hansgrohe is a better value.

Good luck!
