I have recently puchased a Kohler push button diverter valve (#9530) along with a kohler transfer valve and wall mount and rain shower heads. I have read that it is possible to eliminate the tub spigot and run it to a wall mount shower valve while also using the diverter to run to an overhead "rain" showerhead. (2 different zones if you will.) I do not want the shower heads to run simultaneously. I don't think that 1/2 copper would support that amount of water anyway. Can this be done? If so, in what way would it be configured? I am reasonably mechanically inclined but also know my limitations.
Also, the diverter valve (which is not installed yet) when pushed pops right back out. I am assuming that the water pressure is what keeps it open when showering with the rain showerhead and not the default wall mount head. It seems to me that there should be some type of "click" or cam that locks this into a different mode but was told that the water pressure is all I need to divert the water until it is pulled back out to transfer it to a different showerhead. Any feedback would be apprediated... Thanks!!!
