I am looking for the same. I know they have been made, my sister had one years ago.

This is not set in my bathroom. I believe it works shower head only, then shower head and hand wand, and hand wand only. The tub faucet has a diverter to the shower.

YesThat valve is used as a diverter to send mixed hot and cold water to your shower head and hand held independently. Your hot and cold water supply lines need to connect directly to a mixing valve first (like the delta R10000 UNBXHF) then to a diverter (only if you are operating a shower head AND a hand held)......keep in mind the mixing valve I mentioned is for a shower head only...the tub outlet is capped.. If you have a tub spout a different valve would be needed (delta R10000 UNBX)

There is a switch on the side of the shower head that will, when you turn it, only let the water through the hand held unit.....in fact I leave it on that setting all the time, it seems to offer a stronger water stream.

You can buy adapters for the shower head that have a second nozzle that is capped, or you can attach a hose to it. There is a lever to switch it from regular shower to attached hose. Not real hard. I purchased one at Lowes hardware. Ask someone in plumbing, and they will direct you right to it.

If you have a shower head and hand held all in one. Just do one. That's what I did. They sell both kind.

Yes, any hand held that fits a normal shower will fit this unit. I put a $15.00 one on from Ace last weekend.

As far as I can see this does not attach to a tub faucet, we have it attached to our laundry room sink faucet, as that is where we bathe our dogs. It could also be attached to an outdoor hose faucet.

The threads for all shower heads are the same so I'm sure you can. I use my hand held shower head with no problems. And yes, I did use plumbers tape though a drip in the shower would wont hurt anything.

Great shower head, but no shut-off built into the head. I have 3 of them and all installed on Delta 3-way diverters which allow me to switch between low-flow, hand-held, or both. The shut-off in the hand-held can be used to 'pause' the water during a shower.

The hand-held is as tall as your shower head, I find that the shower head heights can vary. I'm 5'10" and the shower head is almost a little low for me (nothing unusual for me); but I don't think it would be an issue for you. The hand held has a short connection, so the spray lifts off easily. Hopes this helps.

Troy, I installed my valve on the hand held shower on a tub application, once I engage the diverter on the tub faucet then I can control the volume on the hand held shower. Not much help in your case. A happy Fourth and Try some Fresh corn on the cob, food for thought!

The unit doesnt.connect to external faucets, it's internally connected to the pump powered by 4D batteries. It takes a phillips screwdriver. This done by removing the power unit(the white top portion). Becareful not to lose the rubber gaskets, this keeps the water from entering the power source. There a pump for the shower head and a pump for the spa portion. Don't fill the shower head area past the marks. The shower portion is removeable. The last advice I give is that the bottom of the baby support, cut a slit on both sides of the plastic, the cloth support easily slips off. The slits need to be done under the head support area.

Yes. The connections are standard hose connections (so you need to plumb for a valve box, like you would have for a washer/dryer). The hoses are attached to the panel, so that you have a couple feet of tolerance on where you mount it. Or you could extend the hoses with simple female adapters you could get from home depot, etc. After get the water connected to the hoses, you mount it to a wall, etc. with the brackets provided. I have it mounted in a shower (no bathtub), but I still like to use the bath tub nozzle to rinse off feet, pets, etc. If you never want to use the bath tub nozzle, I assume you could put a plug to screw onto it, or just be careful not to select that section on the manifold.

Yes, you can use another head. I have a hand shower hooked to mine. It's a universal size.

in researching this product, I read one review that this could be done but it was a bit complicated. You may want to look at the drive website for reviews. We turned it with the back to the shower and got a hand held shower control. It worked fine. Good luck.!

The hand held shower comes with a 59-60 inch hose to connect to the pipe nipple of your shower. It replaces a stationary shower head, which is the reason I bought mine. I believe it comes with instructions. If I didn't answer your question well enough, go to a home improvement store and ask someone in the plumbing department.
