As I explained in a previous post, I am trying to have all of the rough-in valves + trim kits ready for when my new plumber is hired (had to let previous contractor go due to not building shower pan to code + using wrong adhesive for marble shower wall tiles).
I have a freestanding tub that I need to purchase correct valves/fixtures. Initially, I purchased a floor mount tub filler (with attached hand held shower head) - but after tub arrived, my contractor suggested doing a wall mount instead. I’d like to add a hand held shower head also.
If I use a Delta (or a different brand - I’m using Delta in the shower so was planning on sticking with the same brand but will look at other option) trim kit, do I add a separate diverter for the hand held shower head? For another bathroom I’m remodeling, I’ve purchased a tub spout that has a diverter in it. Easy to understand how the plumbing is set up when using this type of tub spout.
For this tub, I want to use a tub spout(filler) that does not have have an integrated diverter (I don’t even think they have ones with integrated diverters that are long enough to use as a filler anyway). My tub is freestanding - but can be placed back-to-wall. It also is made to allow for a deck mounted faucet - but my previous contractor had it plumbed for wall mount as stated above (assuming that his plumber correctly did the work).
Thanks,
Dani
