Does the mount have to go on the water outlet or can it be installed on the wall? I want to install a bypass to use the fixed shower head & this one

I believe that all of the others have answered your question and I agree with them. I mounted ours directly to the wall outlet as pictures and we both love it that way. As already stated, you could use a "Y" outlet and do a dual mount, but that is really a great shower head and works great both ways. Why waste the time and $$? Try it the way intended and then, if you do not like it (which I doubt) look at the other options. (Bet you don't do them.)

Mount is designed to screw on to the outlet pipe coming out of wall (threaded). I suppose you could add another bypass and attach this. Or a plumbing shop might have a Y-adapter that would let you mount this AND a regular shower head and turn on one or the other, but why would you? Maybe I'm not understanding what you want to do.

hmmm....ours is screwed on shower head outlet as pictured. We really like it and use in lieu of regular shower head. Great pressure and several spray patterns. Sorry to not be of more help.

The mount has to attach to the water outlet because it is not a wall mount. Of course, you can buy a wall mount to install separately and attach the hose with shower head to your adapter/bypass and not use the included mount. Hope that helps.

This is an easy one. When you attach to thw water source, you are attaching the entire unit. The hose mount for the shower head is part of the unit so it appears to me you could put it anwhere you have a threaded pipe to attach to. I looked at mine and there are several simple ways to accomplish what you want to do but when you see the shower head I'll bet tou will forget wanting two shower heads. Good luck, this is a great unit.

It appears to not be functional for the bypass mount option. The water is immediately directed down into the hose, then to the head. If only mounting the head to the wall, it would cause the head to point to the drain, or actually spray directly on the shower hot and cold handles.

I attached to the existing water outlet. I removed the fixed faucet and just screwed this one in that place. It works really great.

What is a water cord? Do you mean the flange pipe that comes out of the wall? I have had no problems with my shower head. I love it! Could you have over tightened it, or not used plumber's tape when you installed it?

I put mine on the right side (facing the toilet). Water pipe and inlet is on the left. I'd want to keep the outlet away from the water connections for the toilet and the seat.

There is a diverter that allows flow to either the shower head or handheld wand.. I suppose you could mid position it for combined flow, but we do not.The shower head is at a fixes ..non moveable vertically location. My wife loves it, and feels that it met our needs and expectations. Just make sure you check the plumbing hookup you have for it to be installed. My installer had to sweat the connectors out of the wall to adapt to this shower system. Also, you will need a dedicated mounting 2x4 for the head and control valve assembly. Hope this helps..

as long as you already have the water pipe coming into the shower-it just screws on to the pipe-but you will need a piece of Teflon tape between the pipe and shower head connection. Mine is great I love it and the fact that it has different settings are really handy.

yes you can I am sure , your cord may be hanging in front but this will screw down behind shower head and would not come off or slide its actually attached very beginning part of pipe which come out from wall and has a screw to tight unlike other just slide off.

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

no it does not need to be mounted to the wall unless you have rough antics going on in your bath. its a lovely piece. peace

We really love this shower hardware from Hansgrohe. We installed this as a DYI project and it went very well. One of the reasons we chose this version was for ease of installation. The mixer and valves are outside of the wall incorporated in the handles. There are no mixer valves behind the wall. In order to install a tub outlet spigot, you would need to put an additional water feed, diverter and mixer behind the wall. Hope this helps.

Just turn the handles. It's not like a bath/shower combo faucet where you would need to pull up the handle to divert water from the bath spigot to the shower hose. It only has one outlet for the water. Just turn it on.

I don't think you can - the water outlet is at the middle of the AC... In edition the installation kit will not support sideways installation - So you have a lot of modifications to make...

I will gladly send photos of my installation (I tried to insert a photo and couldn't, if you know how let me know) I ran into a situation where the new mounting sights where the shower rod attaches to the wall was not at a point where a wall stud was located. I used a screw-in drywall anchor (like the The Hillman Group 41408 Self-Drilling Hollow Wall Anchor found on Amazon)

LOL, first off the mount is sold separately. You have to buy either one separate. This item is the shower head by itself. Also I have sent mine back 3 times as the led lights only work for about a month.

You have to clip the unit into its mounting plate to activate it, which is why I installed mine on the wall.

If you have traditional plumbing, where your hot and cold enter into a single valve, behind the wall, and then a pipe goes up the wall from the shower head, you would have to ct a hole in the wall to acccess those two water supply lines, add elbows so they protrude through the wall, add a male threaded pipe so you can screw the two water supply hoses from the back of this unit onto those. This is a surface mount system so we installed wood horizontal boards in the wall behind the new shower unit before we installed it. It is a nice additin, but veryy "cheap" alluminum. Mine had a ding in it, but I dd not want to hassel to return it. Sorry for the typos...my key board is dying!!!! yikes. hope this helps.

Handles can be mounted anyway you want,,,,BUT,,,, you need the door closest to the shower head to be on the inside of the bypass. So the "inside handle" is close to the shower head. If you put it the other way, water from the spraying head will squirt between the doors. So the doors CAN go anyway you want, but you'd have to be very careful about water leaking out.

We purchased the entire shower wall bar. The hose connects the shower head to the outlet from our previous shower head. Then the handle that turned on the previous shower just worked as it did previously. HOpe this helps. We do love it for the way the shower streams out of the head. Like a soft rainfall.
