Claim:
1. A multi-mode shower device comprising: a housing defining an inlet connectable to a water supply; a valve including a valve body defining a valve port in fluid communication with the inlet, the valve body including a mode isolator adjacent the valve port, a raised sealing surface being formed between the valve port and the mode isolator, the valve body being formed as a single piece of material; the mode isolator, the raised sealing surface, and the valve port being formed on the single piece of material of the valve body; and a spray engine supported for pivoting movement relative to the valve to change a mode of the shower device, the spray engine providing a spray face having a first outlet and a second outlet, the spray engine defining a first inlet port and a second inlet port; in a first shower mode position of the spray face relative to the valve, the first inlet port being aligned with the valve port to provide a first shower mode through the first outlet and the second inlet port being misaligned with the valve port and at least partially aligned with the mode isolator to substantially prevent flow through the second outlet; in a second shower mode position of the spray face relative to the valve, the second inlet port being aligned with the valve port to provide a second shower mode through the second outlet and the first inlet port being misaligned with the valve port; in an intermediate shower mode position of the spray face relative to the valve, the first inlet port being at least partially aligned with the valve port to provide the first shower mode through the first outlet and the second inlet port being at least partially aligned with the valve port to provide the second shower mode through the second outlet.
