Hi Folks,
Remodeling a bathroom with a tub/shower combo.
We purchased a Kohler Forte K-304-K pressure balancing valve (and trim, etc) for the tub spout and showerhead. Subsequently my wife decided that she wanted to have both a handheld and a fixed showerhead. So she ordered all the fittings for this and a K-687-K three way valve. Both the fixed and handheld showerheads will be fed from the K-687-K.
My question is whether or not the K-304-K valve will supply enough volume to the K-687-K to allow the use of both showerheads simultaneously. Or...do we need a different pressure balancing valve. I can't find any specs on the flow rate for the K-304-K valve, I'm guessing that I need at least 5 gpm flow to feed two 2.5 gpm showerheads.
Thanks!
Dave
