This is the valve we have in our new shower. AmericanStandardR125NAPressureBalancedRoughValveBodyFemalethread
There is no tub.
The shower works well (no leaks).
So while the wall is still open we've decided to add a handheld shower also.
We don't want to add the diverter to the shower arm.
We want to add it to the wall type with a drop ell?
I'm not a plumber and don't even play one on tv And live in a rural area where I have had to order everything online, so this has been a incredibly tedious project for me. (diverters, valves, drop ells etc.)
My husband is very good at installing them, once I've gotten them, but has only replaced/repaired, never started from scratch, hence me ending up being the 'picker-outter'.
Would someone be kind enough to shorten my hunt on parts this time and tell me which ones I need to buy now to add the handheld shower?
I am not sure what parts ....I'm 'guessing' so far I need a (a) diverter valve and trim handle (b) drop ell?
Can we just add the handheld to the above roughin valve we have on the shower since we don't have a tub on it?
My thanks, j
