crazy Plumbing Question. Is it possible to have a hand held shower head hooked to a roman faucet?

Question

I have a roman/ garden tub and no shower. I want to use a hand held on the wall to act as the shower but am running into trouble with the different threads for the connectors, any ideas?

Answer 1

You may have to replace the faucet.... getting one to match the style though, should not be a problem. I know there are roman faucets with an additional shower attatchment, or in the kitchen, a sprayer.

Below is a pic to one such faucet.

If you just simply want to connect a handheld shower to the spigot, then you will most likely need an adapter. I would suggest that you take both, the aerator ring, and the sprayer connector to your local hardware, or building supply store. Tell them you need to go from one to the other. They can find a threading that matches your spigot, from the part you bring in, and then come up with something to go from it, to your sprayer.

Good Luck

Answer 2

All you ought to do is purchase a clean bath spout with a geared up in diverer. reckoning on the attachment style (screw in style or slide on) that could be a particularly uncomplicated job. the only complicated section is removing the previous spout- make certain you narrow back away any previous caulk and take care in not breaking the spout attachment in the back of the tile. to discover the tub spout with diverter, google "bath Spout with handheld bathe Diverter". there's some manufacturers available. Then all you ought to do is set up the hand held bathe to the wall, I desire the bar "slider" style so which you will regulate the peak as mandatory. solid success!
