Barclay Complete Add-A-Shower Kits for Clawfoot Tubs
These complete Add-A-Shower systems include a diverter faucet, riser, showerhead, and wall brace. A great solution for converting most shower-less clawfoot tubs, these pocketbook-friendly and easy-to-install kits feature
a simple 3-3/8" centered wall mounted faucet. The riser is constructed of 3/8" tubing, which fits snugly into the compression outlet of the faucet. The included 6-inch wall mounted support brace and a plastic shower head helps keep
your new shower exactly where you want it. Please note, many municipalities require tub spouts to be installed above the highest possible water line to be code compliant. For this reason, we offer two variations on the same basic design
(and even offer the faucets separately on our page), so you can choose just what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. "Do you sell an extension kit for the 3/8" chrome risers on the Add-A-Shower units?"
A. We sell 3/8" chrome nipples and chrome couplings. Purchase a coupling and a nipple the length that you wish to raise the shower head.
Q. "Some of the clawfoot tub faucet descriptions mention compression style. What does compression style mean?"
A. The compression style in this case is referring to the way the water is shut off when the valve is closed. The handle is attached to a stem with a rubber washer on the other end. As the handle is turned
to close the valve (clockwise), the rubber washer is forced (compressed) against a brass or stainless steel "seat", which is the metal opening of the waterway, until the opening is closed and the waterflow is stopped.
Q. "If my washers fail, will the manufacturer replace them?"
A. No. The replacement of washers is considered to be normal wear and tear and must be done regularly to protect the seat. Washer deterioration is directly related to use, water quality and over tightening
of the handles. The handles need only be tightened enough to stop the flow of water. If, after the leftover water in the spout and shower riser has drained, the faucet continues to drip, tighten slightly until the flow stops. This
will increase the life of your washers dramatically. Replacement washers are something that will need to be purchased locally as the manufacturer will not ship them as replacements. When replacing washers, it is imperative that
great care be taken when removing and replacing the bonnet nuts. A soft piece of cloth needs to be used to protect the finish of the nut, and the nut should never be over tightened. It will cause the nuts to eventually crack.
Q. "I have a diverter tub spout and whenever I fill my tub with water from the tub spout only, I also get some dripping out of my shower head. What can I do to stop that?"
A. There could be many reasons why this is happening. One possible solution is to install a twin ell which is designed to
help prevent the showerhead from dripping while the tub spout (diverter style) is filling the tub.
