can this shower valve be used for shower only?? or does that require a different valve?? I have no bath tub.

Yes, it can be used for shower only. That requires a pipe plug to be installed in the threaded pipe connection that would normally go to the tub. All water is diverted to the shower.

Yes, you just put a plug in the lower outlet. Not sure, but it may even come with one.

I noticed you mentioned faucet. It is my impression that this device is only for showers and tubs so it may be the wrong device.

If you already have a shower pipe sticking out from the wall you should not need anything else. I would say try it with and without the flow restrictor in place to see what works best before permanently mounting. You would use the existing hot/cold valve(s) to control temperature. This unit just allows you to chose between the fixed or hand-held shower head or a combination of both.

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

Specific for hansgrohe diverter part; I believe we only used for 2 option situations (shower/hand shower or shower/tub)

Hi Jessica, you can use it with no problem as a shower head but I don't recommend you to use it like that, yes is a little big, but it's a great shower, is not weak at all if you have good water pressure at home

Not sure what you could do to it without using something that may also touch the water. You could always go get a different valve at Home Depot or Lowes. Mine works well so it might be defective... You may want to contact the manufacturer

Jessica,I would not use it in any other application other than a ceiling rain shower configuration. The stream of water is too disbursed and not powerful enough to accomplish the same results as a traditional shower head. Additionally, I think it would look out of place as a regular shower head - it is quite large...then again, I'm not sure how large your shower is. Hope this helps...let me know if you need more info. Best of luck!

It's perfect for that, I used it for a feature behind a stand alone tub and in the shower. Everyone that comes in my new home LOVES it! It's by far my best choice!!

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.

This is used strictly for Shower only. It works awesome. The shower is control by the left side of the horizontal bar, turning backwards turns on shower, turning forward turns on hand help unit. The temperature is control on the right side of the horizontal bar. What is nice is that once you find a temperature you like you can leave it since the on/off is controlled separately. Great Buy, highly recommend.

Yes, it can be used. It doesn't matter if the current shower is handheld or not, this shower head comes with everything you need for an easy install: the showerhead (the chrome and see thru part) , 2 Vitamin C filters, 5ft stainless steel shower hose, mounting unit (which will allow you to make the product handheld; the hose fits where the original shower head that you have is, and Teflon tape (to prevent leaks).And if your not satisfied, the seller will give offer a partial refund( restocking fee is subtracted)

I used it for the side. How you use it depends on the configuration of your door and shower. Be sure to measure the thickness of the door, and the gap you're trying to seal, to make sure you order the correct product.

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?

I was having my bathroom remodeled and yes this was a replacement. I believe I did by the valve kit and if you don't use it return it. I had a contractor install mine. I like the style of this shower head but has low pressure and may have a water restricted which Im checking mine and will take it out .

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.

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.
