Looking for advice/expertise - kids bathroom remodel, everything ripped out and starting fresh. I would like for my kids to be able to turn on the shower and have it default to the shower, not the tub. Seems easy enough but I've spent days scouring forums/internet looking for a standardized solution but can't seem to find one - or I'm seeing it, but don't understand it. I'm willing to do whatever plumbing it takes since everything is brand new - now is my chance.
Is the solution using a standard shower diverter for a handheld shower (2-function transfer valve) but instead running it to the tub spout and buying a non-diverting spout?
The other (easier) solution I've found is installing a standard/basic shower/tub trim and mixing valve, but using this tub spout with integrated ball valve: https://www.grainger.com/product/415F65
I'm open to suggestions, I know this is a small issue but it is something I'd like to do if possible. If there is something I'm missing, please let me know.
