Perfect Item!
GUAM•January 7, 2018
This item is constructed very well and what I believe is sturdy. The purpose of this twin ell is to prevent shower head **drips** as the back pressure from filling the tub through the tub spout can cause both tub spout and shower head to run simultaneously.
I don't have a standard plumbing install of my tub/shower. I have a volume control and thermostatic valve installed because I prefer the full pressure of either hot or cold water as needed. I initially split my supply line from the volume control to the tub spout, 3/4" supply, and TEE the supply line to the shower head with 1/2". When I'm running water to the tub spout to fill a tub, the buildup of water pressure causes my shower head to run as well (diverter valve not pulled). I couldn't figure out why as I've run my lines using this configuration before. After reading the manufacturer's specs, they recommended I use the Twin ELL to prevent this problem. I proceeded to reconfigure my plumbing to attach this TWIN ELL. Turn the water on to full capacity with both hot and cold mixed, problem solved! WOW, my shower head no longer drips.

Quality Issues - Two units had manufacturing defects and leaked out of a tarnish or heat repair point on the parts.

Both units I received had a manufacturing defect when I went to use them yesterday they both leaked out of the casting.
... necessary as new shower heads seem to be engineered better. However it works and here is no post

I understand the concept but I found out for me that it wasn't really necessary as new shower heads seem to be engineered better. However it works and here is no post drip
You're Gonna Need This
R. C. Wade, Tampa Florida•October 5, 2012
Being a novice plumber, I didn't know I shouldn't have discarded the old part. Had to replace the old mixer, spout, and shower head assembly because they were welded together(not soldered). Big box stores don't stock this item. Mom/pops can get it in about two weeks. Amazon delivered in two days.
This part is only needed if the mixer doesn't have a diverter. If the diverter is on the spout, you will need this Twin Ell. Quality is good. It comes with an adapter to go from 1/2" to 3/4" inch depending on the size of your water lines.
Trying to run your lines without this part will cause water to run at both the shower head and the tub spout. There are ways around this if you have time for trial and error and money to spend on experimentation.
Twin Ell is the way to go. Good luck
