Does the mount have to go on the water outlet or can it be installed on the wall? I want to install a bypass to use the fixed shower head &amp; this one

This is an easy one. When you attach to thw water source, you are attaching the entire unit. The hose mount for the shower head is part of the unit so it appears to me you could put it anwhere you have a threaded pipe to attach to. I looked at mine and there are several simple ways to accomplish what you want to do but when you see the shower head I'll bet tou will forget wanting two shower heads. Good luck, this is a great unit.

The directions say it must be installed with it lower on the outside of the wall hole than the inside of the hole. In that way any water that gets inside because of condensation or rain will run to the outside of the unit. Good luck. Mine has been running 2 years straight with no stopping. I love it.

I attached to the existing water outlet. I removed the fixed faucet and just screwed this one in that place. It works really great.

I think you can try installing it yourself, but I had some people install it for me while they were doing work on my house. All I know is that it's probably only 2-4 screws that you need to drill into the wall, but you need to be careful of what you are tiling through. If you look at the two round pieces that are on the wall, I believe the top one just mounts over your shower head outlet and the bottom one needs to be mounted below to support the weight of the entire system. It's made of heavy chrome, so you can't just stick it on the wall. It's a pretty heavy duty piece of metal. Good luck!

You need a diverter. This provides water to both and the lever on the tub faucet shuts that off and forces it to the shower head.

You attach it to the wall. I put mine level and to the side of my shower head to kept it from getting scummy.

You do not need to do anything behind the wall.It comes with a diverter which is to be installed before the shower head. You connect the hand held shower pipe to that diverter.The valve directs the water flow to shower head or hand held shower.

Handles can be mounted anyway you want,,,,BUT,,,, you need the door closest to the shower head to be on the inside of the bypass. So the "inside handle" is close to the shower head. If you put it the other way, water from the spraying head will squirt between the doors. So the doors CAN go anyway you want, but you'd have to be very careful about water leaking out.

The hose of this shower screws onto the pipe for an existing shower head. You have to unscrew and remove the existing head and screw this unit's hose onto the pipe that held the old head. The instructions recommend putting Teflon tape over the threads. It sounds complicated but it was a very easy switch on my shower.

I haven't tried to add it on to anything but a brass turn off (Dramm 12353 Heavy-Duty Brass Shut-Off Valve) I love the combination of these two. The water breaker doesn't work well with a low flow of water so an on/off sort of attachment works better.

What is a water cord? Do you mean the flange pipe that comes out of the wall? I have had no problems with my shower head. I love it! Could you have over tightened it, or not used plumber's tape when you installed it?

I'm getting ready to order this, and from the picture posted it looks like there's a slotted space on the right just BEHIND the fixed shower head. Doesn't the hand-held slip right into that? We have a similar one at home with only ONE head and that's how it works.

You can always remove the water restrictor on both the mounted and handheld showerheads if the pressure isn't high enough. I'm not sure if that breaks any laws but plenty of people do it. It's basically a disc with a hole that you can easily pry out.

It comes with a cheap plastic diverter. Plan on probably needing to buy one that will stay together from Delta. The wall mount is fastened by a screw.

If you already have a shower pipe sticking out from the wall you should not need anything else. I would say try it with and without the flow restrictor in place to see what works best before permanently mounting. You would use the existing hot/cold valve(s) to control temperature. This unit just allows you to chose between the fixed or hand-held shower head or a combination of both.

I believe that all of the others have answered your question and I agree with them. I mounted ours directly to the wall outlet as pictures and we both love it that way. As already stated, you could use a "Y" outlet and do a dual mount, but that is really a great shower head and works great both ways. Why waste the time and $$? Try it the way intended and then, if you do not like it (which I doubt) look at the other options. (Bet you don't do them.)
