Many tub/shower valves are designed to be used either as a tub only or as a tub-shower combo. You will note that the valves have inlets on the sides for the hot & cold water supply, and outlets top and bottom for directing water either to the tub or diverted to the shower head. By plugging the bottom outlet with the appropriate plug and either soldering or wrapping the threads with teflon tape, the valve directs the water to the shower head.
