RACKING my brain - Help please if you can want to ADD this to my EXHISTING rain shower. I have it almost figured out I have a nipple to come from wall to a 3 way diverter and a couple couplings. My problem is the odd shape of this hand held shower.. and if I connect it this way it would be pointing straight into the shower curtain. I guess would a right hand or adjustable shower arm work and connect to that? Does adjustable shower arms swing also horizontal and vertical? I really woudl like to incorporate this hand held into my shower and keep my rain head shower. Im just stuck at how to get this angled so thta it actually is faceing you while in the shower. I know it can be done.. just missing the final piece to the puzzle. If any one can help certainly would apprieciate it. Thank you!

I don't believe that it would work well that way. It's designed to be center when used and the head does move side to side and up and down ,but not much.

I dont know if this will help, but there is a movable joint between the selector and the shower head. I currently have it installed in a very small free standing shower and often have to move it to point at the wall so I can shampoo my hair without it rinsing me off constantly. i also am short and my older son is taller, he has to aim it up more to wash his hair. It SHOULD work, but I am not a plumber.overall I HAVE been very happy with it in the year I have used it, the only issues were that i had some hard water build up in the handheld part blocking some of the spray openings, but those were remedied with an overnight soak in some white vinegar.

I had the same ? I saw a special shower curtain on amazon that has a section that tucks into the chair. Also I read some folks using two curtains like on a window pulling one behind the chair and tucking around the side and folding on bench while the curtain on the other side pulled to within that curtain and folded up on the inside of the other curain from the back on the chair also . Some stated they tuck the curtain under their leg. I don't know how it would work if someone has to help. A hand held shower head is a must . Many happy bubbles!!

Hello Janet,There is a bracket that is included for areas that are over 40" and this bracket is what connects the two sections. If you have to connect all three sections, you have to use both brackets. They just slide into the metal shower rod. However, if you do have an area larger than 40", you may want to use a better product. This unit is good for tight spaces with very little options. Larger areas, more options, I suggest you go with a better product. Hope this helps.

You can connect any series to the hand shower. It takes a normal 1/2 " nipple .

I use a universal adjustable shower arm with my ALFI rain head to give it more distance from my shower wall.

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..

I actually wanted two shower heads side by side about 18 inches apart. You could make it anything you want, but I bought a simple shower clip / holder at the hardware store and screwed it into the tile wall vs being on the post. Without the second shower on the post, the post will hang via gravity and needs no fixation to the wall. Hope this helps. Otherwise I would try Gorilla Glue and glue to the tile.

If you already have a shower pipe sticking out from the wall you should not need anything else. I would say try it with and without the flow restrictor in place to see what works best before permanently mounting. You would use the existing hot/cold valve(s) to control temperature. This unit just allows you to chose between the fixed or hand-held shower head or a combination of both.

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.)

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.!

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!

This faucet have two water connectors (Hot and Cold) and it needs to connect to two outlets(I think is 3/8") from your shower. So if you have a traditional single valve or three valves faucet; you will need to remove the valves and put two connectors. You will definitely need to remove the tiles and knock out two holes depending how big your tiles are and the tiles placement. I just remodeled my bathroom about 6 months ago from a tub to a walk-in shower so basic everything was rip out. I installed this unit in the new shower and it is definitely worth all the efforts. The unit has worked flawlessly since it was installed and it looks very modern.

Without the arm, the shower head will essentially be flush against the wall. If you want the "rain effect" you'll need the arm as it extends the shower head to be directly overhead. I bought one for my new apartment and it has been life changing. So I say go for it! Easy to set up and I'll be taking it with me to my next place.

I am going to buy on of these and it looks good to me. I am just amused at people wondering what it will look like. I have 4 bathrooms and I did not know how my shower arms looked until I wanted to replace one. Between motels, hotels, and vacation houses over the years, I can not recall how any shower arm looked. If this one will fit, and gives you the height you need, buy it. I am going to. I like the fact that it will allow my new shower head to aim straight down for a wonderful rain shower .

Yes, I'm disabled and what I did was bought two hooks that are made for the shower and placed them side by side so the shower head would rest on them. I love this hand held shower. Over the years I have purchased several but never happy until this one. Well worth a little more money and time to place it on the wall.

Definitely need the adapter arm. Head is designed to be parallel to the floor. I measured arm length so that the center of the head is over the center of our shower. Love the shower head; feels like a nice rain.

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.
