handheld shower head question
Comments (4)I bought a Hansgrohe hand held mounted to a bar along with the tub spout. I bought: Wall bar Handshower Wall supply Hose Tub spout Thermobalance II TRIM KIT Thermobalance II ROUGH IN VALVE (the II means two options for the water: handheld showerhead or tub spout, or fixed shower head or handheld) I bought the one with service stops, which you may not really need. If you only need a single shower head and no tub spout you would want the Thermobalance I. There is also a Thermobalance III if you want a fixed shower head, hand held, and a tub spout. I LOVE the thermobalance valve. There is one knob or lever for temperature and a separate one for volume. I like to be able to turn on the shower every morning and get the perfect temperature every time without fiddling with it. I highly recommend it. Also, you can't get scalded if someone flushes the toilet. I bought all of this from Faucet.com. I got the faucets there, too. They had the best prices, service, and helped me figure out what I wanted. If you talk to someone, they can sell you any combination of parts. You are not limited to the combinations on the web site....See MoreAdding hand-held wall mounted shower head
Comments (0)Currently my shower has a single shower head coming out of the wall. I am adding 2 10" chrome Kingston Brass rain heads to the ceiling, and I want to replace my current single shower head with a wall mounted hand-held shower head bar. What is the best solution for what I am looking for? I want to use the same location of the existing shower head as the water source for the hand-held and I don't want to spend a fortune....See More2 shower heads plus handheld?
Comments (6)Showers where you have a choice of hand held or overhead is one thing - but when you can run multiple heads at the same time you get into something else. Be aware of the codes in your state. This won't fly in California, for example. Know that multi-head showers that run at the same time SOUND like a cool idea, but the novelty wears off fast. You have to design for it - including your water heater, drain, water lines, etc....See Morehandheld shower on sliding bar as main shower head
Comments (23)Thanks for all the input everyone! So I think I made some decisions. I bought a handheld showerhead from Hammerhead showers. They are all metal, under $100, look nice and get good reviews. I’ll just have the showers plumbed with a regular showerhead pipe and then install the hand held showerhead as the main/only shower head. For my son’s bathroom, I bought this suction cup handheld showerhead holder that we can place lower down for him. It was $15 on Amazon. I just need to find a tub spout and shower diverter now. When we remodel, the horizontal bar won’t be there any more....See Morewilliamsem
