Can I use this shower head on a hand held shower bar unit? And what will I need extra to make it work - if anything??

There is a handheld unit in this model but I would not try to convert it to a handheld.

I don't really think this is a good choice for a hand held. It is made to be the fixed shower head. Why would you want to try to make it work when there are many choices in actual hand held units? Just find a handheld that you like. Good luck with your project!

Yes, but you probably will have to get a clawfoot tub shower kit similar to the one at this link: http://www.vintagetub.com/asp/product_detail.asp?item_no=RM168C&utm;_id=IDK15 . While not cheap, it comes with everything you need: shower curtain rod, shower head, hand held shower head, etc. Shop around & you may find what you want that's less expensive. We bought a similar one and it looks great and works like a charm! Good luck!

in researching this product, I read one review that this could be done but it was a bit complicated. You may want to look at the drive website for reviews. We turned it with the back to the shower and got a hand held shower control. It worked fine. Good luck.!

Most of the hand held shower heads I am familiar with would attach at an awkward angle on this extender arm in my opinion. The end of this extender arm points almost straight down. While I honestly cannot say, it would seem to me it would not be a good combination. My old shower arm pointed in about 120 degree angle. This shower arm points almost in 180 degree angle. I would not consider it for a hand held shower head

the hand-held wand fits into a stationary slot on side of big mounting "thingy" which is also stationary. The shower head fits in there as well but between the two (head and mounting bar), there is another "joint" which allows the shower head to be articulated. I did remove water restrictor (we are on well water with decent pressure) and I do not have a problem with flow. We have now had it a few months and so far, so good. I really like it.

Likely would, as other response mentions, it engages with the hose, not the handheld wand. By the way, the ball swivel's range is not that great, so don't plan on using this to make the handshower into a shower head.

Troy, I installed my valve on the hand held shower on a tub application, once I engage the diverter on the tub faucet then I can control the volume on the hand held shower. Not much help in your case. A happy Fourth and Try some Fresh corn on the cob, food for thought!

Yes, it can be used. It doesn't matter if the current shower is handheld or not, this shower head comes with everything you need for an easy install: the showerhead (the chrome and see thru part) , 2 Vitamin C filters, 5ft stainless steel shower hose, mounting unit (which will allow you to make the product handheld; the hose fits where the original shower head that you have is, and Teflon tape (to prevent leaks). And if your not satisfied, the seller will give offer a partial refund( restocking fee is subtracted)

David, by handheld do you mean use this shower head for a handheld or do you mean connect a handheld beside this shower head?

I am using this valve in my stand up shower. I got rid of my tub in the remod. You still need to buy a Delta handle that will work with this valve though so keep that in mind. Hope that helps.

If you have a shower head and hand held all in one. Just do one. That's what I did. They sell both kind.

This is not set in my bathroom. I believe it works shower head only, then shower head and hand wand, and hand wand only. The tub faucet has a diverter to the shower.

Not sure why you would want to, but check your dimensions and make sure there won't be any clashes... Otherwise, just build your own custom piping and use any shower head you want.

You can use it with any shower head. All plumbing is standardized, so you should have no problem putting it up. Just make sure to use pipe tape on the threads to stop leaks.

After installing this fitting, I also installed a handheld and it fits into the slot well. This is a universal fitting so it should work with any handheld. There is a lever handle at the side of the fitting which will allow you to use your primary fixed shower head, the handheld still seated in the fitting or both simultaneously. I am very pleased to have found this fitting, it is practical and useful.

We have two filters. One is connected to an existing hand shower and the is not. The fittings on the filter are standard pipe fittings so it should work.
