Designing Kitchens and Bathrooms - Custom Shower

I am constructing a 60" X 42" custom shower. I made some extensive search on custom showering and got some idea what I want. Basically I want to have fixed shower head on the right shower wall, Slide Bar Mount hand held shower head either on back or right wall. I also want two body sprays on right wall and two on left wall. Now the question how to connect them together and what type of controls to add. I probably need a 2-way diverter between fixed and slide bar mount shower heads and thermostatic and volume control to regulate temperature for either of shower heads. What about body sprays? what usually regulates volume and temperature to them? Also what's the correct sequence of water flowing between thermostatic, volume control and diverter?

To make it simple, I would suggest feeding all heads by means of one central feed line, naming the shower water line as in normal installs.


Use point of use controls on each individual head to control what amount of pressure is needed.


As far as temperature goes, one valve can only do one operation, you are getting into alot of money on this idea short of having more than one shower valve installed in unit, then you can start changing temperatures short of creating your own mixing valve.



In my area, all showering valves must be pressure balanced to provide protection against scalding at all times.
