Is the female end (nut end) free spinning? - Can you tighten it onto the existing pipe (shower arm) without spinning the whole extension arm?

Yes. Let me forewarn you, however. This extension is a piece of crap. It has very poor sealing, and it leaks with minor movement. We took it off just a week after trying it. Buyer beware!

Each end is threaded. The straighter side screws into the wall attachment and the curved part is used for the shower head attachment. I hope this helps.

Yes. The attachment of the entire unit to the pipe coming out of your wall is a plastic-covered ball joint which swivels as well as holds the sprayer. Any direction, including up and down. I've had it a while now, still a big fan.

The arm does the up and down 'thing' and the shower head screw-in is a ball-joint and allows for side to side adjustment .... you will wonder why you didn't get one of these a long time ago.

They are separate pieces. The arm is a standard threaded pipe just like a regular shower arm. You put the flange on the arm, apply Teflon tape to the threads, screw into the shower fitting and then slide the flange back until it is flush with the wall.

Yes, you can. The pipe piece slides down into the two ends. I've had this up in my renovated shower for about 8 months and it looks good and works great.

This arm can be tilted up so that it will able to be shortened that way but the shower head will also be higher. if You lower it then the arm will reach out but the shower head will be lower because of arm is lower. It works for me.

I'm a little confused by the answers to this question. If by "adjustable shower arm mount" you mean "can it move up and down?" then the answer is "no." It is not an "adjustable" shower arm mount. I just bought the thing, in part based on the answer to this question. The mount has no rotation, or adjustment, mechanism. If you want to "adjust" it so that the spray is directed more downward or upward, you will need to /purchase/ an adjustable shower arm mount separately. Buyer beware.

I dont know. I noticed the same thing so i just went with this one and it works fine for me! Nice and solid and the arm extends out. I noticed it was kind of tight spinning in a circle so I took it apart and removed the grease that was in it and replaced it with some bearing lube lol now it spins real easy.

I went to the parts store and they have a "male to male" nipple that can be screwed directly into the shower diverter. Then I also bought a cap to screw on to the other end of the nipple. This isn't the prettiest fix, but it surely gets the job done. I just installed it today, it worked perfect. Good luck.

No...it's a solid arm. I couldn't be happier with my all brass purchase. The whole fixture does swivel without loosening anything. The flow is quite adequate for my needs. Hope this helps

Yes left to loosen. And help with a hammer to tap it loose. It took two people when we did it. One to keep the tub from turning. On an online video, they left the white ring on top of the tub which may have help the guy in the video do it single handedly. Or maybe his wasn't on as tightly as ours was! Good luck.

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

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.

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 would recommend a single-piece arm if at all possible. I have a double-jointed adjustable arm to raise the shower head high enough for me to use but we have a hard time keeping the wing nuts on the joints tightened. The shower head has 'flopped' down a couple of times on us since it is so heavy. I am thinking of replacing the crappy manufacturers bolts and nuts with something a little more heavy duty that I can really crank down. Hope this helps.

If your shower pipe is plenty high then the arm isn't a necessity. Personally I was very happy I added the arm. It allowed me to move the shower head higher and bring it further out into the shower space.
