I read the specs that said the shower arm is 1/2inch male IPS. What does IPS mean? Can I use a more decorative flange for the arm?

Hello Sue,Just fancy plumbing talk. It means they just have a standard 1/2'' connection.Our shower heads come with our standard flange, but you could use another if you wish.Thanks,Zoe Industries

I order a 15 inch wall mt brass shower arm but might I suggest you get a longer one and one that can be mobile.

While that shower arm is nice, ask yourself if you want it for the look or the adjustability. It may be worth looking at the plumbing supply house or even Home Depot for fixed chrome shower arms. The shower head itself already does have a bit of adjustability built in.

Hi, will this fit onto a standard shower hose, like one that comes with a bath tub taps/shower hose combo? For instance, if I had a shower head (like a normal hand holdable one) and I unscrew that, will this piece fit onto the end of the hose? My hose is female, standard shower heads are male. If not, does a converter exist? Do you have the measurements of the fixing (are they standard SI)? I'm not worried about the positioning of the head thereafter as i have a ball joint bracket on the wall for the current hand held shower head, which means the head can be fitted to flow in any direction.

They are standard 1/2"-14 N.P.T. fittings. One side is a six sided nut, for the outlet side, and the other is a smooth sided tapered fitting that should fit in most holding fittings for the handheld shower head. I have them installed on two Delta and one Waterpik hand shower. Hope this helps.

Looks like it is designed to hang from ceiling or an existing arm. I don't know about adjustable shower arm

I can't comment about the codes and whether it would pass inspection, I used it for a DIY outdoor shower. But I didn't have any problems finding fittings that matched the threading. I ended up not using the 1/2" to 3/4" adapter that it came with and instead just used a 1/2" pex to 3/4" male threaded adapter because it was easier for my particular needs.

I agree -- this doesn't seem like a good solution for your problem. Are you sure you don't want something like a flange (http://www.amazon.com/Faucet-RP6025-Shower-Flange-Chrome/dp/B00084ZGKM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid;=1415387541&sr;=8-2&keywords;=flange) that will wrap around the pipe and cover the hole? If this is just to cover the hole in the wall where your shower head comes out, you probably want a flange. If you're trying to a hole that extends outside of your current flange, I'm not sure what you'd need, but I still don't think this is it..

Not sure what an arm Flange is it had the piece that holds the head up but the metal pipe that comes out of the wall is separate

Hi, Yes you can change the shower head. The riser comes with an adapter that will adapt to any 1/2" IPS shower head. Thanks, Kathy

We used a standard 1/2 inch hot water valve. The threads on the shower arm are flat, however, and don't screw into the standard valve. Sounds like using a die to fit the threads worked for some people, trying that... Otherwise someone on here said Light In The Box sells an adapter.

This trim has two outlets, i.e. you can have shower head and a hand shower. I dont remember S/E means but I know another similar trm has only one outlet. The trim should match your configuration.

well, I'm not so good at measuring? but there is a place for a shower fitting: there is an outside circle, then an inside metal circle which on it's outside is a little more than 3/8ths inch, and the inside of that inner metal circle is a little less than 3/8ths inch. Anyway, I'm very happy with the faucet.

Hi Noelle,What' so difficult? You should have a 1/2" domestic hot water and a 1/2" domestic cold water there and they connect to the control unit on either side with a 1/2" standard pipe thread female threaded copper fitting. This is your supply water. The top outlet on the control goes up to the wall mounted shower head and the bottom outlet of the control goes to the hand wand. We have a few of the light in the box products and I have found that the manufacturing is not all that consistent. I would take the threaded pieces along to a Home Depot and see if they can match it up with something they have. Seeing the answer below I believe the hand wand is a 3/8" threaded female copper fitting.Tristan Hi Noelle,What' so difficult?

Kim, This is just the shower head and the arm. The style is very modern and it's chrome. Anything modern and chrome will match. Use some imagination. It doesn't have to be listed as "matching" to match. Try American Standard T064700.002 Serin On/Off Volume Control Trim Kit, Metal Knob Handle (Valve Not Included), Polished Chrome You can also try something that's square and modern

A 10 inch will fit easily and 12inch should fit as well but would depend on the distance between the outlet connection and the 12 inch flange. If the distance small 1-2 inches there might be an issue. Another reviewer didn't like the height of the arm. That was one of the reasons I purchased it, to enhance the effectiveness of the rain shower.

I bought this fixture and like you, I wanted a shower head. I unscrewed the showerhead and replaced it with another that fits into a wall bracket, turning it into an actual hands free shower. I needed to have that type of fixture configuration, in order to replace an antique fixture. The shower flex is plenty long enough to convert the fixture from a handheld to a regular showerhead. I've been very pleased with the result; installed a couple of years ago with no issues.
