I'm not understanding how this works. See picture.
The pipe going up is for a fixed shower head. The flex hose is for a hand held shower head. Both of those work OK. The button on the left looks like it is to activate the faucet pointing down. However, when you lift it up water just gushes up around the button and none comes out of the faucet. It looks like this one. For some odd reason it has an air pressure spec.

- It looks like two pipes come out of the wall yet the on/ off/ temperature mixing control is just on the one side. How does that work? Could there be a two way pipe in the pipe going between the two sides such that water flows from the left side to the mixing valve and then is distributed back? Or could the left pipe be a dummy and the mixing happens behind the wall on the right side? I don't get it and am not finding anything online. I don't even know what they are called.
- I'm guessing it is a failed O-ring but can you get these things apart for repair? I'm not seeing any clean way to dismantle. Attacking with a pipe wrench would damage the finish.
- How are these are removed? Do you have to access the backside of the wall? There are two sheet metal cups where the faucet meets the wall. It may be possible to pry them back to access what is underneath but what would be under there. Could there be some kind of compression fitting that would allow disconnecting? Would something like that be strong enough to support such an application?
