I tore apart my whole bathroom down to the studs. I have installed a new tub and now am dealing with the supply to my new fixtures. This is what I want. I want one showerhead, one rain showerhead in ceiling and a tub spout. So I was looking to install a thermostatic valve then 3 lines to each of the fixtures with shut off to each fixture. That seems excessive and expensive.
So now I was looking at installing a thermostatic valve and then run one line to a 5-way transfer valve

The problem I see is I dont know why this valve isnt recommended for shower/spout applications. I should mention I do not want the plunger on my tub spout. They seem to always leak water into the tub so I just was going to install a shutoff so that all water went 2 one of the other 2 showerheads I was using. The problem I see is that this 5 way valve only has 4 ports. I assume one for my supply from the thermo valve and the other three I can hook to my 3 fixtures. The problem is how would I ever turn OFF the water. It seems I would have to have a thermo valve that is able to shut of the water (which I don't like or want) or I have to have a shutoff valve between the thermo valve and this 5 -way valve. That seems a bit stupid also. Is there maybe a 6 way valve were I could cap the last port so that all water would be shut off as an option on it?
Help please.
