Dual & Double Shower Heads

A dual shower head gives you two sprays in one shower. Most models pair a fixed or rain head with a handheld on a hose. A diverter lets you choose either one or run both together. Double-head systems with a ceiling or rain head plus a wall head are popular for walk-in showers and for couples who shower together.

Two kinds of dual shower

Arm-mounted combos screw onto your existing shower arm, often with an included extension arm and a 3-way diverter. They need no plumbing work and are the quickest way to add a second head.

Complete shower systems combine a rain head, a second wall head or handheld, and a push-button or multi-way diverter in new valve trim. They replace the valve inside the wall, so they usually need a plumber.

Pressure with both heads on

When both heads run at once, the water from your arm is split between them, so each spray is softer than either one alone. Arm-mounted combos are rated for the total flow, usually 2.5 gallons per minute or less. If you want strong flow from two heads at the same time, an in-wall system is the better choice.

Frequently asked questions

Can two people shower at the same time with a dual shower head?

Yes, with both heads running, but the flow is shared, so each spray is gentler. For two strong sprays, choose an in-wall shower system rather than an arm-mounted combo.

Do I need a plumber to install a dual shower head?

Not for arm-mounted combos: they screw onto your existing 1/2-inch shower arm by hand. Complete systems that replace the valve inside the wall usually need a plumber.

What does a 3-way diverter do?

It sends water to the fixed head, the handheld, or both at once. Turn the knob or lever to choose.
