Purchased a Temptrol valve (tub/shower) thinking that the integrated diverter could be used to select between the fixed shower and a handheld shower, substituted for the tub. Seemed like a cheaper option than adding an separate diverter to a shower-only valve. When I read the directions for the Temptrol it said "Do not substitute Tub Spout with restrictive fittings such as PEX, CPVC or outlet accessories such as a ledge spout, hose and spray that would subject the valve excessive internal back pressure, otherwise operation will be compromised." Now I have read in several forums here how some folks install valves inverted or plug tub outlets, so wouldn't this "compromise the operation"? Exactly what operation are they referring to .. scald protection, flow rate?
Thanks in advance!
