How2 use sink sprayer as shower nozzle?

If you want to take a 'Navy shower', just turn a regular shower on and wet yourself. Then shut the water while you lather. When you're fully lathered, turn the shower back on to rinse. Now you can send me the money you were going to spend on a 'sink sprayer'.

You can purchase shower heads with a valve built in. I've seen them with levers or the one we have at home shuts off with a twist. You could always ask your local jailer where you can get the push button type that stays on for a short time then shuts off. The same type may also be used in locker rooms at schools where the jocks don't have enough sense to turn the shower off on their own.

or glue shut most water outlets in a existing shower head

Any good plumbing supply house/big box store will have a shower valve. It also has a flow restriction plate in it, which you can remove if you wish. I used to have a summer cabin on a holding tank (needed to be pumped out, etc.),, so I installed these on the shower heads. Also, as a water saving technique (the flow restrictor only) to limit the water usage by my teen age kids...

I went camping a week ago at a park that had those. You pulled a chain to turn the water on and when you let the chain go it turned itself off via a spring loaded valve. Shower head only put out a fine mist. I learned not to be the first to take a shower in the AM. The thing used so little water it took forever for the hot water to come up.

I have a simple metal shower head (was $5 at Wal-Mart a few years ago). It has a valve for shutting off the water, and has lasted a lot longer than the expensive plastic ones.

I found a current link for it at

I've been using the expensive one's from RV stores but I've also found them at True Value Hardware. After about one year they are falling apart and useless. I'm going to Wal*Mart! Thanks for the tip.

For OP: the RV type has a low-flow head and a thumb-controlled shut-off. The are designed to use a minumum of water. The hose should fit right onto your shower head pipe.

I didn't keep a record of when I got it, but it seems to have been about 5 years ago.

I already have one of those and it works well

BUT I still want something like a sink sprayer that the minute I let go of it it stops the water flow
