Shower Arm S Style Chrome

This shower arm looks great and raised the shower head to a perfect height. Now I don't have to lean back to get my hair wet. The only thing that would make it better would be that the end the shower head goes on was bent a little more down.

Yes, I suffered from the hunchback shower syndrome too. My shorter wife wasn't so thrilled when this was installed. My only complaints would be that I'd love to see the round plate a little larger to cover up the hole in the wall I had to make to install this - I hate the previous owner for what self-help he did for this house. And that I agree with the others, the bend should be about 20 degrees more. WIth the new showerhead, the shower of water hits the back wall and rim at it's lowest, and it likes to flood the floor if I leave a cap in the curtain. But I still give it 4 stars as the only relief for taller people against houses built by midgets.

The part appears of excellent quality. The finish is smooth and shiny. The threads are clean. The description mentions gaining 6" of height. What you get is 6" of vertical height threaded end to threaded end. Since a standard shower arm/pipe is bent down about 2", in reality you will get about 8" of additional height of your shower head.

The curve of the pipe results in one needing about 8" of clearance between the top of the existing pipe and the ceiling. Both my gf's bath and my apartment bath have about 6". I won't even be able to install this thing unfortunately. (I may have enough flex in the pipe inside the wall to manage it, but I am not recommending others to take this approach.)

So just be sure that you have sufficient mounting room to work with. As others have noted, the downward angle of the discharge end is not quite as much as most typical pipes. Some shower heads swivel more than others, so you may or may not be ok with it. Check...Read more
