What is the UL listing for this shower ? Township inspector would like to know if the plumbing code will allow installation of this shower.

Good question. I don't think it's UL listed but it works great and I love it. Too bad government has to stick their nose's in our business. Buy one anyway and put it in. You'll be glad you did.

Not that the plumbing is completed to code (with valves) behind the shower head, just like washer/dryer plumbing. So a UL should not be required for this as its like buying a standard fixture (like a sink faucet).

Stephen, We uncover lots of pipes on the wall and there was no way to install Toto in the wall (no room), so we give up and return it back. We went with plan B. It is good to have many options/plans when you renovate a bathroom because you never know what might get uncover while tear down walls or check the older pipes. Kind regards,

We haven't installed it yet. I can let you know. I bought it for my client as a laundry room faucet. Looks nice.

I had no trouble with installing it in my 1950's home. the part the head attaches to is the pipe that is already there if you had a shower head already. The lever to turn the bath to shower wold depend on the setup but no holes had to be made to do it. there are 3 settings stationary, wand, and both with both it is like a rain shower very nice

There are two components to the installation: (1) getting electrical service into proximity with the unit, and (2) installing the washlet and attendant plumbing. In regard to the installation of electrical service, I would recommend that you get an electrician to install the electrical outlet and GFI unless you are experienced in doing that type of thing. An electrical outlet is needed because the unit has a need to plug into such an outlet to have the energy to heat the water, run the pump and activate the fan. As for the rest of the installation, an intermediate handyman should have no problem installing the unit. Although I am not a tradesman, I had no difficulty in installing it.

I highly doubt it. I just called to register the item w zero questions asked. Endless hot water btw. As long as tge washing machine isnt on and no more than 2 or 3 people are showering.

I had no problem installing the handheld shower. The pipe for the shower water source is standard and required no modification.

I agree with other people, that sounds pretty steep. I did it myself with this water heater and it cost me a couple hundred in parts. I did not get a permit though.

I'm an older woman and managed to do it myself but I'm pretty handy around the house. If you are not, you may want to call a plumber, but take a look at the instructions first. Actually, take a look at the pictures, they're easier to follow.

Not sure because I returned this model. If you need something for a normal size house, you need a model with at least 4.5gpm to 6gpm because a regular shower flows at 2.5gpm. I ended up getting the aviditi model instead. Served my house perfectly for over a year and half. To finally answer your question, YES you need someone with local certification to install. You can ignore the plumbing part because that's very easy but for insurance and .legal reasons, get a certified electrician. Mine had to run two thick 50amp cables from the two 50 amp breakers to the unit.

I had a handy man do the installation for me. If you try it on your own, you will just need to unscrew the old shower head and screw on the new one. The little piece that came along with the shower head-it will go inside of the head. Sorry, but this is all the information i have right now. If you examine your old SH,and look at the new SH, you will find that it will be like putting a puzzle together. Let me add, even if there is just a pipe extending from your wall; the item can still be made to fit. You will just need another tube/pipe.

Its recommended installation on copper piping. However the package says either plastic or copper. Others have reviewed installing on plastic just make sure u pre drill the hole with a slightly smaller drill bit than the punture pin. I also have plastic piping but went to copper near the water heater so I ended up installing mine there. Just to be safe. If u go ahead on the plastic there is rubber housing around the puncture pin area to help prevent leaks. Its really easy to install. If anything u can check utube for installation instructions but highly doubt u will need. Theres lots of step by step videos there. Its recommended installation on copper piping.

Hi! Sure you can, that's what I did for my costumer. Just make sure that your plumber use a 5/8 copper pipe to get a good water flow to the shower head and insulate it to avoid moister on the ceiling. fallow this tips and enjoy that. God bless you!

I am no expert but I will say yes... the instructions had several diagrams for plumbing.
