If this is to me (Han), the Delta faucet I have has a diverter for the
shower (you push it in, and then the water goes to the shower rather than
the bath faucet). It has 2 handles, one for water on/off with a bit of
volume regulation, one for the temperature.
I was just trying to say that ther might be no need for doug to break the
wall open. The innards of such a faucet are completely accessible
through the front (if his faucet is like mine and the one I googled).
