I want to buy two of these shower heads, but I will also need to buy a handle that turns them on, correct? What do you recommend that would work?

You will need a valve and the trim (or handle) for that valve. You should be able to use this with just about any valve/trim, but keep in mind that it's meant to be used with a wall outlet that's not necessarily the existing spigot for your current shower head (assuming you are remodeling here...). Check out the pics on the "Hansgrohe 01850181 3/4-Inch iBox" product page here on Amazon to see what the internal plumbing should look like.

I used this:Hansgrohe 04231000 S Thermostatic Trim With Volume Control And Diverter, as I have wall bar AND also a shower head (angle arm with shower head from the wall). You will not need a diverter if you only want a wall bar, which is good enough. You will also need the hose and outlet along with Ibox, if this is a completely new install. Hope this helps. We are enjoying the wall bar set. To keep it looking new, wipe off water after every use. Hope this helps.

If it is a new construction install, (plumber installing new valves) purchase: one-I-box rough in and one- thermostatic trim w/volume control and diverter. If existing shower, yes, you need a diverter installed. (check with local plumber)

We purchased the entire shower wall bar. The hose connects the shower head to the outlet from our previous shower head. Then the handle that turned on the previous shower just worked as it did previously. HOpe this helps. We do love it for the way the shower streams out of the head. Like a soft rainfall.

If you are asking if there is some sort of on/off switch at the end of the handle itself (kinda like a kitchen sprayer), no. The shower head can only be turned on/off by turning the knob located at the base of the faucet handle.

You need a hansgrohe ibox universal plus, &#65279;http://www.hansgrohe-usa.com/13673.htm, to connect cold and hot water source as well as to the outputs like shower head and hand shower. Hope it help!

The hose of this shower screws onto the pipe for an existing shower head. You have to unscrew and remove the existing head and screw this unit's hose onto the pipe that held the old head. The instructions recommend putting Teflon tape over the threads. It sounds complicated but it was a very easy switch on my shower.

I don't know what that is. What I do know is that I have two kinds of Moen shower valves in my house. Pull/push to open/shut the valve and turn to adjust temperature, and turn only (turning adjusts temperature and opens the valve). This handle fits the second kind.

hmmm....ours is screwed on shower head outlet as pictured. We really like it and use in lieu of regular shower head. Great pressure and several spray patterns. Sorry to not be of more help.

Surely will utilize two shower heads - one attached to the end connection and the second one attached to a hose that then attaches to the side connection. Works great!

If you install the faucet so the handle is on the left, the handle rotates backward to turn on ... If you install with handle on right, it would move forward to turn on ... I installed it with handle on left and it cleared back-splash easily and is out of the way ... handle is a 1/4 turn handle ...

Do you literally mean two shower heads? You could use 1 shower head and 1 hose attached shower handle thingy. Is that what you mean?

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.

If you have a shower head and hand held all in one. Just do one. That's what I did. They sell both kind.

If you're planning to shave in the shower then you'd probably want to buy a Weber handle to complement this razor. The EJ DE89 is too slick to use the shower. There is very little patterning or knurling in the handle and so using it with your hands wet or soapy would be hazardous. That's my opinion, I've tried and decided to buy the weber handle it works great now. IMO the head is worth the extra 40 bucks I spent on a handle. You can also buy a Maggard razor for 15 bucks and swap the handles out.

You can add a shut off valve to any handheld shower wand You can get one at most any hardware store. It would attach between the hose and the wand. There are many in her on Amazon. I have just bought this one and it works well as a shut of or a valve that slows the flow of the water. KES K1140B Shower Head Shut-Off Valve Solid Brass, Chrome

I wish I could help you, but I haven't a clue. We just screwed it on after removing the other shower head. Have you tried Googling the problem?

When I bought this, I only got the square set up (no pipe, you can see a faint line where it starts). It comes with the female (section to thread into) you know like any other shower head. So any pipe design you have ( I'm using a S pipe) should work. Hopefully this answers your question.

none.The shifter handle that mounts on the wall, does it all. off/on hot/cold.You may want to remove screens and fittings from inside the showerhead, if you have hard water.

I believe that all of the others have answered your question and I agree with them. I mounted ours directly to the wall outlet as pictures and we both love it that way. As already stated, you could use a "Y" outlet and do a dual mount, but that is really a great shower head and works great both ways. Why waste the time and $$? Try it the way intended and then, if you do not like it (which I doubt) look at the other options. (Bet you don't do them.)
