If the wall is over 2 inches, you would probly have to change the handles. for a recessed type

The valve is probably a Kohler RiteTemp valve, which is used with most Kohler shower trim

My tub is old, thick walled...somewhere between 4 to 5! inches probably (I'm not home tonite so can't measure). I'm very happy with the durability and it clamps on tight. Not beautiful to look at but great for what it's designed for,Carol

Not with the system the way it must be sold. You would have to purchase a different diverter valve. we sell the 4 way diverter you would need (part number 154090) on our web site showerbuddy.com

This faucet is intended to be installed like a shower/bath setup. Meaning, rigid 1/2in. copper pipe connected direct to the faucet valve. You would then secure the copper pipe to wall studs. Instructions are non existent for this product. Searching the internet for 'shower valve' installations will lead you in the right direction.

I don't think so. It screws into the pipe out of the wall. You then attach the shower head on it

The pressure should be OK. You may want to use different shower head than the one provided with the filter.

I've not installed this yet but we have our plumbing in shower roughed in... just capped stubs out of wall at the right height and spacing between hot and cold. Valves are mounted inside stainless box and connected via flexible hose connections.

I have mine mounted to an old concrete wash tub that is about 1 1/4" thick. It does not appear that it would fit anything thicker. Hope that helps.

I have a vinyl shower surround and it's wonderful but I don't know the answer to your question. Sorry I can't help you out.

Wall thickness is OK. You would need to modify interior and exterior opening to to 6 1/2" diameter.

The pipe is the same thread as "most" if not ALL typical shower extension pipes ....if this screws into your wall, then it will since it would be the same. "Most" (have to say most) showers have 1/2 inch NPT (national pipe thread) so its a matter of removing your current semi straight shower extension pipe and head and then screw this one in, then put your head on this one. BTW : be sure you have the clearance to swing this larger ext. pipe around but I'm guessing if you need to raise it up that's its probably pretty far from the ceiling/soffit anyway.

The only restriction is the valve it self. I used one valve for a handle held and the other for straight shower, worked perfectly. No restriction on the shower side.

Yes. It can. You need to check with your handyman. My husband is a carpenter and installed it in about an hour in our wall that was about 6 inches thick. He added some plastic in the pass through areas.

Yes, so long as the wall thickness is not more than the maximum allowed (and even then there are ways round it).

We have 11/16 clearance between the wall and the base plate for faucet. There is no problem using the valve handle

Yes and no. Anything's possible with plumbing fittings, but the unit is designed (and I assume pressurized) for that head, plus it fits the holder. You can make a larger head irk, but it would be clunky. The hand-held head actually provides a lot of pressure even though it looks like an afterthought.
