Can this unit be used with a tub/shower combination and still allow you to use the lower faucet to fill the bathtub?

Yes, that should work. You will just use your existing knob to switch between 'lower faucet' and shower.

Although we used it only for our shower, their brochure shows a connection to an already existing tub/shower diverter. Check out www.grohe.com/us.

Definitely - as long as you have some sort of diverter either on the tub spout or a separate wall valve to switch flow between the tub and the shower
1684133
As long as you have your tub faucet. Suggest you check with a plumber though to make sure the right diverter valve is installed and connected to your shower. The shower needs a special valve to switch between rain and handheld showers. Brigitte Hamilton

Yes, absolutely. The unit actually draws water from the shower output up top. So your original tub/shower diverter knob allows you to either use the bottom tub faucet or the shower unit.

Not sure because we don't have a tub/shower combination. I imagine that it would work.

The threads on the shower pipe are longer and more coarse than the ones on a bath or kitchen sink faucet. I do not think it will work out of the box; however, perhaps there is an adapter out there to make the connection from a bath unit to a kitchen sink unit? Might be worth investigating.

I don't see why not. My shower has a curb similar to a tub, and it installed just fine. o note the height of this model--it may be too high for your space.

I had this tub installed in my house, and the only I can see you being able to do this is if you build a raised platform underneath it for the plumbing.There are 2 issues:1) the tub filler: this type of tub is designed for a faucet that comes from the floor, but if you can have the tub next to a wall, where your rough plumbing is at, you can use a standard faucet instead.2) tub drain: this will require plumbing under the tub. No work around that.Hope this helps.

No, I don't think so. The faucet is a nicer way to use your existing water pressure and flow.

I don't think so. Its flexible pipe is designed to be fixed to a threaded water supply pipe. I think the ones that you get for the spout in the tub have a different diameter than this one. Maybe if you used an adapter it might work, but I would advise against it.

Only if you have a rather long tub. The back automatically reclines as it lowers, so there must be sufficient room for that to happen without hitting the faucet. There are some models of this type device on which you can control the back recline independently of the up-and-down, but on this model, you cannot.

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.

If the bath tub spout has a small spout like a sink and the shower head has an attachment hose the size of a garden hose fitting, then yes it would probably work.

I believe so. we took off the shower head and attached it to another shower head that mounts on the wall. it has a upper shower and a lower shower. should not be an issue for you

The unit will get closer to the faucet area than you have room for your legs when you sit and swing into the tub. You will want a handheld shower head. Hope this helps

No... the one control knob turns to use the shower head, jets or hose separately. We didn't hook up the tub faucet so I can't answer for that choice.

plumbing can be done, but I don't think it is designed to be used with the tub. I have it for rain shower and handheld shower... Usually spout has a pull out that switches to shower. This unit needs to be turned to 1 or 2 (top lever)

The short answer is no. This fixture is meant to be surface mounted to a wall or post about chest high and surface plumbed. I mounted it on the outside of my elevated deck to make an outdoor shower. It could be mounted to a wall above the tub, but the shower head tube is only about 20" tall, so mounting it on the tub itself would not allow a standing shower.

no problem I think, as my set up is divert between rain shower head and wand shower head or share. Issue would be plumbing direction.

They give you some adaptors for the faucet, but they are made primarily for a kitchen faucet. I suppose if your bath faucet is much lke a kitchen one, it might be possible. WaterChef would be better able to advise...they may have a special adaptor for some bathroom faucets.

It is not used with our shower pipe - tub set up. Habsgrohe recommends/as required for operation only the 16181181 exposed basic set. That is our setup and it works perfectly. Maybe a plumber would have an idea about this?
