I am replacing my mother's tub with a shower. She had a tub spout with a shower diverter, which I have removed. I already purchased a new fixture with a shower only to replace it.
Now, I would like to leave a faucet in the shower for her to use for cleaning, filling the occasional bucket, etc, since there is no utility sink in the house.
Is there some way I can put a regular faucet on the ex-diverter stub, or even a spray handle, that would not have a diverter in it, but a regular valve that could be turned off? Something that can be turned off 99% of the time when she is using the shower, but can be used occasionally as a faucet? Or must I put in another diverter faucet?
Alternatively, if I can't do this, will the shower work properly if I just cap off the diverter stub?
Thanks
