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

Nothing about this item works. I found this item to be useless junk, it leaks, and has very limited "degrees of movement".

No, it does not. While the bracket that holds the shower head does adjust up and down the bar, it does not pivot. Of course, you can easily remove the shower head to get the water where you want it.

No. Spinning the top (or any section) unscrews the whole thing. And any slight turn of any part makes the whole thing unstable and flimsy.

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.

The ends don't spin or pull off. It would be difficult to remove them. I didn't try taking the rod apart, but I imagine it would be hard to put back together and have it work properly.You really just pull one end (stretch it) until you exceed the desired length by 1". Then you compress the rod and put it in place, then release. It has budged since I installed it.

No, this valve has male threads on the outside. You might be able to find a bulkhead with female threads and use it in place of the nut shown here but your best bet is to buy a different valve that come with the bulkhead.

A standard shower head pipe or arm works fine. That is what I used, did not have to replace the existing one, and the top of the head has a nice swivel on it.

You put the tub wrench on, and give it a sharp whack with a hammer. The inertia of the tub keeps it from turning.David Seaquist says that the nut turns clockwise to loosen. I believe this is not correct. The tub is splined to the shaft. I believe it is a normal right-hand thread.There are videos on YouTube that show how to remove this nut.

hi Julie, not sure what the question is because i'm not very handy at home but if you want to know the connection to the shower arm, the grooves are on the inside of extension arm. sorry i can't be of more help. ;(

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.

The black end is threaded. In the instructions it is quite clear the item only needs to be finger tightened. It should come undone easily if it was properly installed. Otherwise you may need to use pliers. The green end, yellow on older ones, is a quick disconnect. The green or yellow is a sleeve that slides down and the ball retention on the inside releases from the water pipe.

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.

Take the loose nut all the way off. Then try. I believe it has backwards threads.

No, right hand thread. It went easily onto a normal pipe-thread. To be clear, we are talking about the female end of the Quick connector.

The one pictured here is exactly like mine, which I've had for several months. It comes with the hex set up on one and a thimble setup on the other end. Each end is appropriate for my water supply pipe (hex) and hand held shower head (thimble). What you describe would not work at all for my set up. If yours had two thimble connectors, then it is the wrong model, not the model pictured, and maybe not the model you ordered. Good luck. Chuck

This shower head is great because it can be manipulated to your specific needs. From higher to lower and from side to side. The stem is completely flexible. You will have no issues diverting it.

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?
