Two gems:

Here's a question- can you still get a shower-handle that does volume
AND temp? All the Home-Despot stuff (Moen, AmSt) does not- according
to
my wife. She, and the builder both bought the same model of Moen that
does ONLY temp; this is not good when putting Trent Jr. in the tub.

What do you mean "does only temp"? Are you saying that in terms of the
amount of water coming out, the handle gives you either off, or full
force,
with nothing in between? If this is the case, I think it's time to call
Moen. Something sounds wrong. I can't believe anyone would design such a
thing.

I don't know the model number/name- but, no, that's what this model
does. You turn the thing, the water comes on, and you can adjust the
temp (only). And, according to my wife (-caveat), "you can't get a
model with adjustable pressure". Which I believe to be false, but I'm
not a builder...

Go to www.moen.com, get the phone number, and call Moen. The big home
improvement stores generally don't carry much variety in the Moen product
line. You'll need to go to a real store, staffed by humans.

The answer that makes sense. Which brings us back to Kenji's "real"
store.

Thanks for the confirmation of what little I know about Home
Despot/Menards.
