Tub/shower combo or tub and shower stall
Comments (15)I know I probably went overboard, but I have been searching Houzz for shower/tub combos for myself if I decide to go in that direction. Most of these pictures have Master Bath titles - they tend to be small houses or apartments in large cities where space is an issue. They all have a generous sized tub. A few have extra shower bling and even a separate tub filler. All of them have material choices and the level of tile work that you see in a master bathroom. I'm sure that if I searched Houzz I could find just as many, or even more, remodels of small master baths where they have just built a walk in shower. I think the decision to do a shower/tub may be a personal choice because they want a soaking tub - since they are titled Master I'm assuming the bath is not the only bath in the house and they could easily just go with a shower.

Comments (1)I'd confirm the following with Delta tech support. It's an easy call and that's what they are there for. Do not be shy about calling. With some valves, you can plumb a valve outlet port to a tub spout with a "pull up" diverter on the tub spout. With the tub spout diverter pushed down water will flow out of the tub spout. Pull up the tub spout diverter and water flow up and out of the shower head. I don't know if you can do that with the T11853 valve that is in your package. Some valves have temperature control issues when they are plumbed in non-standard ways. It shouldn't be an issue, but it's worth a call to tech support. If you can plumb the valve that way, use one outlet port for the tub spout and the wall head. Use the other port for the handheld. In addition to the package you linked to, you'd have to get a tub spout with a built-in diverter. If you can't do that, ask tech support if you can do this: You should be able to swap out the T11853 valve that is in your package for the T11953 valve. The T11953 is a 3-port diverter. You should be able to use the three outlet ports to individually plumb the handheld, the wall head, and the tub spout. The T11953 and the T11853 valves might have the same trim kit, or the trims might be different. Make sure you get the trim kit for the valve that you order. Then add a tub spout without a built-in diverter to your order. I don't know if that Vero style has a tub spout without a built-in diverter, but you can use anyone's tub spout that looks good to you. Pretty much anyone's chrome will match any other manufacturer's chrome. But be careful if you're trying to match some of the other signature-type finishes. One other issue that may or may not be a factor, but when you get tech support on the line it's worth asking. Some valves that have purpose-designed ports to fill tubs allow a higher GPM flow through that port so it doesn't take all day to fill your tub. Ports designed to flow to shower heads may have a lower-rated flow-through since shower heads have GPM restrictions; 2.5GPM, 1.6GPM, etc. Ask if there are any flow restrictions on that valve. I hope all that makes sense. Good luck!...See Moreshower head, hand held and tub spout
Comments (9)Although, we are re-doing a bathtub/shower, and I am replacing it with showerhead, handshower and tub spout, and had to get all the pieces separately (didn't care for the Symmons styles). We are going to use a delta pressure balanced valve (but it has separate handles on one valve, one for water volume and one for temperature), and then a diverter (to go to either tub, shower, or handheld). The rest of the parts are going to be Grohe, but they are all from different style lines (yeah, it sounds like Frankenstein but I don't think it will look that bad)....See MoreHand shower instead of a bathtub spout
Comments (5)Your question and title make no sense in its present form. What exactly are you trying to accomplish ? Do you have a tub and a shower that you want to share a valve with , or do you have a combination tub/ shower or or just a tub that you want a filler and a hand shower ? It would take a VERY long time to fill a tub up with a handshower wand. It's possible, but not at all practical....See Morehhlresearch
