    Capping off one of two showerheads
    We have two showerheads in our shower, one is about three feet up the wall and the other is about five feet up the wall. We are going to tear all the tile out of the shower and replace the backerboard and retile. We want to cap off the lower showerhead but we are not sure exactly what to use to do this. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    A great deal will depend on how the pipes are connected. I think you may find that you can unscrew the shower arm and simple install a plug.

    There is only one mixing valve, right? If so I think its going to be easy.
