Depends on how you want the water to flow; I believe this was designed for the complete showerhead/handheld/body spray configuration but I used it differently... I bought and installed the 3-way diverter to give me the choice of having water flow (1)only through the tub spout, (2)both spout and showerhead and (3)only through showerhead. We have a shower/tub combo and I like to fill the tub with some water from my shower also because I use a special Vitamin C filtered and negative ion showerhead that gives me relaxing ions and chlorine-free water in my tub.

No. It is used only for multiple outputs(handheld, body sprays, shower head)

No, you do not need a diverter if you are just running the rain shower. You would need it in the second scenario, if you were using the rain shower and handheld; this converter canhandle an additional function as well. If there is a tub filler existing, you may want to get a diverter for the tub filler and rain shower and as stated before you could add a third option like the handheld. We bought the converter to use between our tub filler, shower sprays and rain shower. Hope this helps.

You do not need this if you only have one shower head. This is for multiple heads.

I don't believe you need this if you are just using the shower. I bought 2 diverters because of the way this is listed. I believe that I returned this part.

Yes, you only need a diverter if you're running a second shower head of any sort and wish to be able to select from one or the other.

I don't remember I installed it for a customer but if that is your plan I would not recommend it for that. The flow is regulated in the valve and even if you use a diverter vale you just split the flow(half for each) between the two shower heads. The fix I use it two valves or there are some valves that are designed to handle two of more shower heads at full volume. One i have used is the Moem IO there are some others like this they are electronically controlled valves.

The diverter has nothing to do with the showers but the plumbing and the trim you want for the diverter.If you are buying the compatible trim from Delta, sure the diverter can be used. In fact we have the similarsetting - delta intuition shower (is dual wallmounted+handheld) and a delta victorian in the same shower usingthe same diverter with the victorian trim.

No. A close look at the picture shows no diverter mechanism to pull for the shower. This is for either a tub or a shower, but not a combo.

Yes, you can use both at the same time or either one. 3-way Water Diverter with Patented Anti-swivel Nut allows you to switch between using both showers at the time and using only one at the time.

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.

Yes it wili. You can turn on the divertor and the hand held and rain head have there own cut offs.

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)

Yes, you can use any handheld shower head and you can use any shower head with this setup.I replaced my shower head with a Delta Faucet 75152 Water Amplifying Adjustable Shower head.

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.

You can always remove the water restrictor on both the mounted and handheld showerheads if the pressure isn't high enough. I'm not sure if that breaks any laws but plenty of people do it. It's basically a disc with a hole that you can easily pry out.

I did not require any special adapters, this diverter fit the typical fittings that a normal shower head uses. It screwed right in place and worked perfectly, with a little Teflon tape. Send me your email and I will send you a picture of my installation.

Had it installed during a bathroom renovation by a plumber. For it to work I needed to order the appropriate diverter valve as listed for this model. You would need to be able to switch between shower head and hand held shower. That's the way I understood it. It was installed and works great.

the diverter allows you to select both or each individually. if you want just want water to the shower head, put it in that position, if you just want water to the wand, put it in that position, if you want water to both at the same time put it in that position. note: you will lose a little pressure when in the both position, but not that much. in fact, i leave it in that position most of the time.

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

Yes. Diverter only shifts the water between shower heads. You still need a separate on / off valve

Yes, it diverts water. The only problem, not a large one but a bit annoying, that when you switch between the two, the other one drips for a short period of time. But, it might be because of the residual water pressure in the pipe leading to the shower head. Thought it might be of help to you.Overall, i like this piece.
