Hi everyone

I have the following shower to fit. It has a three way valve.
The diagram shows that the top valve is for 2 of the shower accessories, the middle temperature control the lower 1 for 1 shower accessory.

.

Can someone advise how this should be plumbed so that the body jets function with the overhead shower. A diagram shall be useful.

Thank you so much
 
Here it is. I'm not sure what the pipe to left is.
This wall is however supposed to have a separate valve and outlet for a spout. This I bought separately from another supplier. Not sure if fitted yet, doesn't look like it to me . I would be greatful for a diagram re the plumbing/pipework. From what I can see on their website the top part of the valve controls 2 accessories , Im gathering its shower head and jets , the middle the temp and lower one the shower rail/ hand accessory.
I may tell them to take off and put on a brand that has been suggested. Im just waiting for a response from VP. Thanks.

I'm confused, if it's already piped up, why do you need a diagram? Also if the main shower head comes off the top diverter with the body jets, you won't be able to use both at the same time.

They said will do again as the jets not connected up and were not sure how to connect asked for a diagram.The VB valve diagram just shows the top valve to operate 2 accessories and the lower one that's all. I need a diagram to show how something like this is piped up

Ok, I'm a little busy pulling my living room to bits at the moment, I'll draw up a diagram later and post it. Are you wanting main shower head in the middle? And where is the shower valve in relation to this and where are you wanting the body jets and riser?

Yes the main shower head high up and middle. The riser to the left of the valve , and 2 jets each either side of the valve as they have in the VP product photo.

In addition I have a separate valve to give hot/ cold water for a lower spout. This is to be below all the valves. I have attached a photo of 1 of my bathrooms to give you an idea (I know Im complicated !)
Hope it makes sense.
