I'm looking to buy this for a vintage clawfoot tub that has a shower convert. Has anyone used this successfully for their clawfoot tub? Suggestions?

I no longer have a claw foot tub, but my assumption would be that it would take two at least to do a full wrap.

I got this faucet hoping that I had picked the one that mounts to the tub, as it is very confusing...my contractor installed this inside my claw-foot tub just fine. So, no worries, it's the right one. :) Tub mounting, not wall mounting. :)

I got a hand held shower attachment for mine. The diverter is actually for the shower ring on the clawfoot tub. I'm sure if you wanted to plug it off you can find find one at the hardware store.

I assume the claw foot tub is metal so the main question is whether the device will fit over the edge of the tub. You have about 41/2" in total width. If the top edge curves over you should be able to put a wooden block underneath the curved edge on the outside to act as a shim so that you can tighten the safety bar. Hope this will work for you.

i would say your best bet is to contact the manufacturer and see if they could withstand the weight..i don't think the claw tub will fit in the allotted space of the individual raise its.

I'm no longer in the same place (left in caddy in tub, sold with house). But from what I recall it fit fine across a standard-width clawfoot bathtub and would collapse or expand at least a few inches to fit a narrower or wider tub.

I don't think it would make sense for a corner unit. The arch doesn't seem that it is great enough. However it may work if you install the unit inside the shower further than you would for a typical tub install? Best bet is to measure the span per the specs in the description. Good luck...

I used it in my 1930's tub, and it works great. My understanding is that the faucet was designed for such 'antiques.'

Yep - use the existing one. I think it's to combat the 'derp' factor of someone buying this and not actually having a shower. *shrug*

Hi-We have an antique bed that has a slits in the head and footboards. The parts do fit our bed. If I understand a claw-you mean a metal hook type gadget. That would fit also. When we bought our frame the company phoned us to make sure the size of our bed and asked questions so we knew it would fit the bed. Never had any company do that. They are super to deal with. We truly like the frame-sturdier than our old one. Hope this helps you

Yes I bought it for my standard shower and me and my wife actually love it it is working great we had bought another Before and it went out rather quick... All I used was simple thread tape screwed it on and its working perfect still.

Hi Violet,Wish I could help, but it turned out to be the wrong hardware for a tub/shower combination, and I returned it without really opening the box. For what it's worth, the return credit was hassle-free.

Our tub was very similar. I went to a local hardware store to get a metal pipe that would fit into the shower rod at each end, connecting to the wall. This extended the length of the shower rod out to meet the width of the tub. I did later order extra ceiling supports for stability since it only came with one.

I am using this valve in my stand up shower. I got rid of my tub in the remod. You still need to buy a Delta handle that will work with this valve though so keep that in mind. Hope that helps.

Unfortunately, I had the same issue. I bought a stainless steel tub for our mud room. It was very difficult to fit to the sink and we had to have fittings made to fit. Now that it is installed, we love it. We found a commercial plumbing supply that was able to help us! You won't find what you need at a Lowes or HomeDepot.

The shower in the travel trailer in question is in the corner. My experience with the product is for replacing a straight shower rod with the Stromberg Carlson EXT-3542. Great product but not sure it will work in the application suggested.

Kingston Brass KS266SN Victoria 3-Inch to 9-Inch Wall Mount Tub and Shower Faucet, Satin Nickel is the one we purchased and plumber had no problem attaching it to our antique clawfoot tub. It might not be the one you are looking at. We have had ours over 3 years and it still looks like new - we love it.
