Before you shop for shower fixtures, it's important to understand the basics of shower controls. What options are there? What will fit your space and budget best? There are three basic systems for controlling the water temperature and flow rates: *Simple single levers or knobs that control both water temperature and flow *Combination temperature controls, which can include two or even three extra fixtures *A separate thermostatic control valve (temperature only) and flow valve (volume only) Regardless of what system you select, the fixture will come in two parts. The rough-in fitting is the guts of the shower fixture and is usually made of brass. The fitting will get hooked up to the water lines. The second part is the tile trim. Have your plumber install the trim prior to determining the depth of the fixture, since this will allow you to see the finished look. Many levers or knobs project too far into the shower, but you can work this out by test fitting ahead of time.
