Tub and Shower Faucets | Shower Heads | Bathtub Fillers | Bathroom Fixtures

Tub and Shower Faucets come in a wide range of designs that will perfectly complement your bathroom decor with elegance and style. Although tub and shower faucets work similarly to bathroom and kitchen faucets, there are some distinct differences between them, which we will will examine in this article.

Unlike regular sink faucets which are vertically oriented, tub and shower faucets are oriented horizontally and the parts are larger and more heavy-duty. Some faucets have a single lever or ball handle; other faucets have separate hot and cold water handles and have a more classic look. Some units have a three handles - two for hot and cold water, and one to control the overall flow of water to the shower head.

Single-handle faucets are by far the most popular style today. This style of faucet has an inner cartridge that allows the flow of only hot or cold water and allows a mixture of each to adjust for various temperatures. Two-handle faucets on the other hand separately control the hot and cold water flow.

A single or two-handle shower faucet utilizes a stem and washer that presses against a seat to seal off water. A three-handle unit contains a stem-like diverter that either directs the water down to the tub spout or up to the shower head.

Installing a tub or shower faucet can be a challenge, so it's important to read and follow written directions completely. When installation is complete, put the instructions, model number and parts list in a plastic bag and tape it to the inside bathroom vanity door. This will come in handy if you ever need to do a repair in the future, and beneficial for a plumber who needs to do repairs or a future homeowner.

Tub and shower faucets come in a wide range of designs, styles and finishes such as nickel, chrome, brass, bronze and two-tone finishes. Keep in mind that your bath and shower faucets will get a lot of use, so you should buy the best quality faucet you can afford. Avoid lower quality, inexpensive faucets. Good quality faucets generally cost more, but you need not spend a fortune for a very well-made faucet.

Top brands include American Standard, Danze, Delta, Elements of Design, Kingston Brass, Moen, Kohler, Newport, and Price Pfister, among others. Prices range from about $25.00 for an inexpensive chrome set from Delta up to hundreds or even thousands of dollars for more expensive sets. For example, Herbeau offers premium designs that cost upwards of $8,000.00.
