My tub has the water handle directly above the spout. Can this be slightly diverted to either side to clear the handle?

Doubt it can be easily diverted. The kit comes with a replacement spout with connection for shower on top center. The main water supply to shower head is two pieces and not at all flexible.

I doubt it. You might contact a plumber who can make the curve around the faucet handle using a tubing bender. The tubing is chrome plated brass or copper (I can't remember) Both bendable with the right tools. However this will shorten the length of the tubing and would probably require some type of tubing extension to get back to the original height.

I put a longer stem for the tub spout so that it sticks out further and allows the shower riser to clear the water handle. The riser is still directly in front of the handle but it works fine.

As long as the old plumbing and values are right, you don't need to take everything out. I replaced the standard Delta circular knobs with this and they didn't plumb the values straight because it doesn't matter for the circular knobs. So when I put these handles on, they don't line up the way they should with the tub because there is groves on the values the handles slide over, but I left it because I didn't want to replumb everything.

This valve will allow water to be diverted from tub to shower thru the tub spout.

Yes, according to their product description a tool is needed to change the handle direction. I would contact the manufacturer for more information about this.

The spout is adjustable. It can be made to run out of the end as well as the side.

Spout is on left side when holding handle. Love mine and use it all the time.

No. Tub spout cannot be removed. There are shower panels available with no tub spout.

I would not suggest it, only areas that do not drain are on either side of spout, they are very small.

Yes- the top of the faucet moves from side to side, but once installed, the handle on the bottom stays in one spot.

You can replace it with any tub spout as long it has the diverter in it. The spout is just slipped over the existing copper pipe and tightened with the screw which is at the bottom of it.

Yes, we remove it to clean the tub regularly. It is best to remove it in the down position. Also the back comes off easily, which lightens the unit. MP

That's interesting, you're more observant than I was. Mine is installed and the handle is on the right as in the specs and it's on the right side of my sink. Would or could it be reversed if it was on the left side of the sink??

Check out two ways to go. Temporary or replace spout inorder to accomodate the hand held showere hose: http://www.wrightstuff.biz/haheposh.html http://www.nextag.com/tub-spout-diverter-for-handheld-shower/compare-htmlRobin

Yes, it can be turned off in any position. Also, I do not have any problem with the hose cutting the flow of the water. Maybe it is an installation issue. The spout has to be manually pushed back into place, but isn't difficult.

No. The tub diverted at the top of the spout locks it in. My kids have never pulled it off.

Yes, the faucet does a 360 degree swivel so the handle can be on the left. The only thing to remember is this,if placing handle on left the hot mand cold water flow will be in reverse order unless you hook up the supplytubes backwards.

If you are using in a tub with a diverter, that will cut off both. If this is just a shower, you will need to insert a shut off valve between the supply pipe and the shower head or turn off the water at the supply handle. Not sure why you'd want to do that though.
