Can this be installed on the ceiling directly above shower? Or does it need be set aside to prevent water hitting electrical parts?

Hi Topgear88, Check with your local inspection department because some say it's ok but I don't reccomend installing it directly above the shower. I would recommend installing the fan just outside the shower. If your trying to remove the humidity, Instead of a switch I would install a adjustable dehumidistat and set arround 45% to 50% then the fan will turn on & shut off automaticly. Also make sure to correctly size the fan so it will remove the humidity.MarkInnovative HVAC Systems, Inc.

Mine is directly above the shower, but, my shower is relatively large with a full 8' ceiling. Water has not been an issue for me and this fan is unbelievably quiet.

An electrician mounted mine mid-way in a 3'x6' shower alcove. The fan is sealed waterproof unit on a GFIC circuit. Haven't used the shower yet because it's not plumbed yet. The fan is very quiet.

I think it is better install it aside your shower (I did it this way) for safty concern and to avoid potential building code violation.

What Kyle and Mun said, usually ceiling mounted shower heads are larger diameter as well. This is probably not what you want for a ceiling application.

You could run the copper or lex up into the ceiling, and buy a simple chrome shower arm that descends to the desired hight of the rain shower. The arm that it comes with would not work out of the ceiling - but the shower head will work with any other arm.

I mounted mine above the bath tub. It can be mounted around the shower if the water is not flowing on it. For this kind of applications you should use approved devices.

I don't think it's actually rated for wet locations, but I installed mine over the bathtub which is not enclosed and it has been fine. I'd recommend you go to the manufacturers website at http://www.build.com/globe-electric-90057/s871732 , click on the "Question" link and ask them.

You can install it with a ceiling above it. I have found it works really well in comparison to other fan models. It can even be done with no damage to the drywall. The unit is built to come apart. The silver side comes off so you can make all your connections first. Then push it up in the ceiling, take the black box and push that in the hole, screw it in place, snap the silver peice back on, put the trim kit on, and you have successfully put a fan in without the attic or damaging the drywall.

If you use them above the shower on the ceiling I would think they should stick just fine or you could screw in to secure them even better. I do no think the actual lights are waterproof so I would not put them in the shower where they could get wet.

As Jimmy69 advised I would not install in shower area w/o it being on a GFI protected circuit. It is not a waterproof sealed unit.

We have it as a ceiling rain shower but never use the main shower head and we love it. Lots of power. I think it would be fine as the main shower head. It would give your bathroom a different look ......

Yes and I installed mine above my shower stall and it covers the shower's light fixture.

I mounted mine near the top of the walk-in shower wall to circulate the air and prevent mildew. It's been there for a year now and does the job very well in that situation. But for safety reasons, I only turn it on AFTER the shower and have it powered on a GFI circuit.

You can attach to a standard shower head. Do not install on kitchen/toilet.

No, the shower head its in a fixed position, but you can move the whole fixture up or down.

CAN BE INSTALLED EITHER WAY, BUT DOESN't make sense supplying down. The shower hose would interfere with knobs/handles.

While using the overhead rain shower is wonderful. I do not touch the panel at all only make adjustment to the temperature. Be sure to mount the panel for your needs.

Nothing additional needed. Just cut the hole in the ceiling and mount. Note, I had the luxury of being able to access from the top (via the attic), nonetheless, I'm sure you could mount this from with in the bathroom too. Good luck!

I think it *can* be installed in a walk-in shower, however, in my opinion, one should *not* do this, because in order to make it possible for a person to rely on this pole, both ends of the pole would have to be pushing VERY strongly into the floor and the ceiling (the pole can be used to support whoever grabs it because of this pressure you create when you extend pole's length). I am not sure I was able to explain what I mean by all this, but, in a shorter sentence, I would suspect that, with pressure necessary for the pole to stand and to be used for support, it could do serious structural damage to the stall (by breaking down the floor). An opinion from someone who has actually tried this is in order. I have not tried to do this but would greatly hesitate even to try.
