do i need a separate diverter valve in the wall for the handheld part? Or does it all run off the one for the shower head?

it runs off the rain showerhead. You need to turn one off to use the other. It's attached to the wall with a suction cup. I've had mine about a month and really like it.

The diverter is metal, except for the flow lever, and tightens very snuggly. We actually hang our handheld on sidewall instead of the diverter. We also purchased the "Danze D469020 72-Inch All Metal Interlock Shower Hose" which is long and very flexible and we find the side wall more convenient.

There are two valves included. The first is the hot-cold-on-off and the second is the diverter that directs the flow either to the fixed show head or to the hand-held shower head.

two choices only: shower only and hand held only. Good quality diverter, highly recommend

My shower comes up out of the bathtub instead of the wall. I had to pull it all the way out to reach the connection for the filter, so if that's what you mean by "handheld" then Yes :)

No, any shower valve would work. I also used a Delta shower valve. Now, if you are referring to using a diverter valve to be able to use it as a shower and a tub, then u need an extra valve. But if that is not the case, then it is a simple shower head with the only difference that it is installed commonly in the ceiling.

It does have a diverter and it hooks directly to the fitting coming out of the wall. You can stop the flow to conserve water as well.

David, by handheld do you mean use this shower head for a handheld or do you mean connect a handheld beside this shower head?

We do have a handheld shower on ours. We didn't install it. A plumber did. So I don't know exactly how he did it, but he took the original shower head off and put the handheld hooked up at the top. We can hold it or leave it alone as the shower head. So we still have the downward part for winter drainage.

you need a 1/2 inch iron pip threaded diverter valve that screws on to your shower arm. It will allow you to put the shower head back on and divert the water through the hand held shower as well.

Specific for hansgrohe diverter part; I believe we only used for 2 option situations (shower/hand shower or shower/tub)

The diverter for the hand shower to tub is the middle handle. An additional diverter would be needed if you wanted a wall mounted shower as well.

You need access to the 1/2" hot and cold lines. If you have a standard tub-shower, your setup should look something like this: http://www.ereplacementparts.com/images/americanstandard/3375_WW_1.gif and this: http://www.rotdoctor.com/img/house/indoor/rdhi2.6plumb.jpg First step- turn your diverter valve to shower position, then take off the three handles. So you should have 3 stubs coming out of the wall once you removed your handles. Leave the parts shown as 10 and 11 (as labeled in the first link) in the center and remove parts 3-9 from the left and right outlet. The unit will come with two 90deg brass angles that will screw onto the threads (don't forget teflon tape). The down-facing ends of those angles will accept the connectors to the shower panel. There should also be a plastic cap that you can use to plug up the outlet for the shower head after your removed parts 1 and 2. If it doesn't come with that cap - you can get one at home depot (3/4") (Important that the diverter valve in the center is set to shower and that the shower-pipe is blocked or the panel will not receive water. Pretty straight forward, though the instructions are pretty much worthless.

The diverter is self contained in the unit. You must follow the template exactly for the pipe location coming out to the wall. This unit seals to the hot and cold lines with included pipe ends and an O-ring seal between the supply lines and the shower unit. Can be a little tricky but is really simple in it's design.

the diverter valve swings from on on the handheld whiler shower head is off. As you goe from handheld to rain shower they will both be on at reduced pressure until you reach the rain head position then the hand held is off.

none.The shifter handle that mounts on the wall, does it all. off/on hot/cold.You may want to remove screens and fittings from inside the showerhead, if you have hard water.
