A tub faucet acts as a shower and can be used to bath in the bath tub. It is a pressure valve which makes the flow of water through it constant and gives a nice shower.
More "VOLUME" flowing from the tub spout then the shower head as the shower head has a flow restrictor
The difference between a shower and a tub is the shower tends to enclosed with water that comes out of a shower head above while a tub has a faucet that pours into a large basin.
showerThe Bath uses a lot more as the tub spout does NOT have a flow restrictor
No
they both distribute water
It depends on the length of the shower, and the flow of water. Shower heads can usually allow anywhere between 2.5 and 5 gallons of water a minute. Most baths require 30-50 gallons of water. To save energy the length of the shower x, multiplied by the water flow y, must equal less than the amount of water used in the bath. X*Y (Minutes/Gallons) < Gallons in Tub
yes
Shower, Shower heads can usually allow anywhere between 2.5 and 5 gallons of water a minute. Toilets can use this volume in a single flush. As most showers last longer than one minute the shower volume is considerably higher.
They are probably not strapped in the wall. If you have a quick closing faucet, there may be water hammer.
It's the part of a tub control that makes the water go to either the faucet or the shower.
Many tub/shower valves are designed to be used either as a tub only or as a tub-shower combo. You will note that the valves have inlets on the sides for the hot & cold water supply, and outlets top and bottom for directing water either to the tub or diverted to the shower head. By plugging the bottom outlet with the appropriate plug and either soldering or wrapping the threads with teflon tape, the valve directs the water to the shower head.
