Roman Tub Hand Held Shower - DIVERTER
I am in the process of installing a jacuzzi tub and a Price Pfister Roman Faucet set. My wife has requested a Hand Held Shower attachment and OBVIOUSLY I want to fulfill her request. Here is my dilemma:
I NEED A DIVERTER for this faucet set which can be activated forn the tub and the hose can be routed under the lip of the tub and out through an orifice on the lip/rim of the tub. I have envisioned an in-line diverter valve attached directly to the spout, the flow valve body attached below and an activator located either on the tub wall or rim.
Is there a diverter valve commercially available to fulfull my needs? Or does anyone have any other suggestions other than buying a different facucet set?
Thanks!

You're looking for a neat looking Roman type diverter spout and a hand held spray that looks like it was built in and came with the tub and that just ain't going to happen. To the best of my knowledge and after checking the web I can't even find a roman spout with a diverter let alone the rig you're searching for. And in addition I doubt you'll locate a new whirlpool faucet set that diverts unless you cap off the upper holes in the tub and install a regular tub and shower valve in the wall. The spout would mount in the wall with a pull up diverter that will then divert the flow to a hand held spray. But I don't suppose you're ready to trash a three or four hundred dollar top of the line Roman faucet to convert to a regular T & S valve. Even for the little woman. What you could do however ,(although it won't be as classy) would be to hunt around for one of those hand held sprays with a end that slips over the end of the spout. Good luck, Tom

Roman Tub Hand Held Shower - DIVERTER
Hello. I think I am looking for the same thing. I found this site: http://www.nextag.com/buyer/outpdir....b&node=2700400
It would be called a spout with a side outlet diverter. At least that is what I am looking for, as I would like to wash my hair and rinse it after taking a whirlpool bath. As it is, I need to get out and take a shower in order to rinse my hair. Hope this is helpful!

Roman Tub Hand Held Shower - DIVERTER
Thank you, but I need something to replace the large overhanging spout on a whirlpool that is already in a home I just purchased. I see that other site has a huge discount for their weekend sale, but their regular price is outrageously high, in my opinion. So I called there, and just as it states in their website, they are closed on weekends. Am I missing something? How can you have a weekend sale, and be closed on week ends? I left my number. I think the plumber will be my main expense, but I would like to purchase the product at a discount price when I can. I hate having to take a shower after every bath here. Your wife is on the right track. I had one at my other house. Good luck!

Shower Diverter
[ 1 Answers ]
The water in my shower comes out mostly from the tub faucet and not the shower faucet (which I assume is a problem with the diverter) but what I don't understand is that the water pouring out of the tub end is scalding hot, while the water coming out of the shower end is only warm. Then they both...
