Question
Dana:
I have a shower where I installed a regular shower head as well as a hand held one. The valve that separates one from the other is a simple one. It has slides that turn each outlet on or off. I tried to find a valve that was okay to look at that would switch from one shower to the other without having to close one and open the other. The whole thing is screwed onto the water outlet pipe at the top of my shower.
Do you know of any valve that can be used inside a shower for switching from a fixed shower head to a handheld shower?
Thank you!
Answer
Hello Clevie,
There are valves, called diverter valves, that will do this but they need to be installed inside the wall as part of the shower valve piping. That would require some extensive work and expense.
Here are a number of them: http://www.nextag.com/three-way-shower-diverters/search-html
Good Luck,
