I have questions about certain tub/shower faucets...
1. While I know two-handle and three-handle tub/shower faucets aren't code-compliant today, when they were permissible, which of the two or three configurations seemed to work best, and which of these configurations was more ancient?
(a) Two-handle with push-button diverter in center escutcheon? (cf. Delta 2836)
(b) Three-handle with the middle handle as the diverter? (Delta 2683, 2885)
(c) Two-handle with (tee) diverter on tub filler? (Delta 2680, 2882)
2. Single-handle:
(a) with push-button diverter? (cf. Delta 636, 638, 1636, 1638)
(b) with (tee) diverter on tub filler? (cf. Delta 642, 644, 1646, 1648)
Again, how would you rate bath valves with diverters on the valve itself?
Thank you,
