    Converting bath to handheld shower
    I have an old claw foot tub in my downstairs bathroom and it has a "double basin faucet" spout instead of the regular single spout. Which means the cold water comes out one spout and hot comes out another. I need to find some type of hose adapter that would allow me to hook up an hand held doggy shower to it. Do you know what I could use or what type of spout that I am even dealing with so I know what to ask the people at the store I am dealing with? Please help as soon as possible. Thanks

    I have have seen any adapation out there for that but here is my 2 cents... that tub is probably worth a lot people down here pay thousands for tubs like yours because they are so old and vintange... I guess what I am saying I would hate to see you ruin a highly sought after tub by converting to something else... sorry I could not help

    Yes, there is a spout with a outlet for a hand held shower, however, since you have two spouts, one for hot and the other for cold it will not work on your present set up unless you propose to bathe Rover with either all cold or all hot water. Like James, sorry I couldn't help. Tom
