A shower faucet is a tap for hot and cold water in a shower.
It is also known as an “mixer” or “tub filler,” and the location on the wall of your bathtub that it is mounted can be called a “wall box.”
Shower faucet’s job is to supply both the hot and cold water spouts on either side of your bathtub. It can also be used inside of showers on walls, although these kinds are more often found in commercial buildings than in residential homes, because they require special wall anchors to prevent them from pulling away from the drywall when you are pulling out the hose arm.
