actually I'm not sure what you mean by a shower valve, do you mean the fact that there is a single control for both pressure and temp?

shower valves: in bathtub showersyou have to switch the water between the shower & the bathtub. and there’s only one set of controls for both. ie raise a lever on the bathtub faucet that switches the water to the shower & then turn on the showerit’s weird & silly to me
