A specialized plumbing fixture designed for use in manufactured housing, this component integrates a bathtub faucet with a mechanism to redirect water flow to a showerhead. This combination provides both bathing and showering options within the limited space typically found in mobile homes.
The integration of these features offers space-saving advantages and cost-effectiveness compared to installing separate bath and shower fixtures. Historically, such designs have evolved to meet the unique plumbing constraints and spatial considerations inherent in mobile home construction, providing convenience without requiring extensive modifications.
