Would it be possible to replace the handheld shower head/hose with an aftermarket slide mount handheld unit? Is the connection a standard connection?

This shower panel is very nice, but the installation directions are nearly worthless. There is a part that is needed that is not included with the purchase. You will need a water outlet box like those used for a washer machine. Check out a similar unit being installed on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51Z1Xb5n6F0

Yes the connection is standard. BTW be sure to tighten all the hose clamps before installing. I didn't and several months later it started leaking like crazy. Not a big deal totake it down and tighten the clamps but better to not have to.

It does look like a standard connection. I have not taken it off, but the connection looks like it is the same size as the old hand held unit that was replaced by the shower tower.

Yes. I flipped mine around and attached the hoses on the bottom as it was a better angle for my setup. I had to purchase adapters because I was attaching to washing machine hoses which were attached to an outdoor sill cock on my house. I took the piece from the shower to the hardware store and the guy there made sure that I got the correct fittings. Can't wait until it get warm enough for outdoor showers again!

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

Yes, you can use any handheld shower head and you can use any shower head with this setup.I replaced my shower head with a Delta Faucet 75152 Water Amplifying Adjustable Shower head.

I just looked at my set up. I have the pictured shower head and we also have a hand held. I don't see anyway this would connect to my hand held shower head. There may be some that would ave a regular screw on feature like where this filter connects to the pipe from the wall but it would not work on mine as it is not set up to make that attachment.

Use a search engine and search for 1/2" by 3/8" ips shower hose conversion adapter. We tried a lot of things upon receipt of this faucet then stumbled across this by accident. Our handheld shower works fine now, no grinding anything, no improvising. TBH I think this part should be included with these faucets -or at least an option to order it separately. Good luck and I hope this will help.

Yes, it can be used. It doesn't matter if the current shower is handheld or not, this shower head comes with everything you need for an easy install: the showerhead (the chrome and see thru part) , 2 Vitamin C filters, 5ft stainless steel shower hose, mounting unit (which will allow you to make the product handheld; the hose fits where the original shower head that you have is, and Teflon tape (to prevent leaks).And if your not satisfied, the seller will give offer a partial refund( restocking fee is subtracted)

Yes, you have to install it with the shower. You take the head off, screw the quick connect on then screw the shower head into that. The quick connect that works great. I just wish it had a little more pressure but I like it.

Yes, the regular shower head mounts on the male-threaded pipe opposite the female (input) side, and the mount that came with the hand-held unit goes on the male-threaded pipe perpendicular to them. The valve handle then points down.

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.

I can't say for sure about ALL but most shower heads have the same thread connections since they all fit the standard shower pipe connection. This hose fits the standard pipe connection so it should fit any standard shower head.

It just has a female threaded coupling that attached directly to the end of the pipe where the shower head attached. I put a two way valve in between the shower head and the pipe (where it was originally connected) and have the hand held shower coming out the other with the capability to select one or the other by switching the valve handle.

Yes and the unit comes with the hose connection kit (except for the actual water hose). However, I found it very difficult to install. All I had to do in previous owned units was screw the hose on. You have to install a small plastic tube inside the unit and it was very difficult to get on. I finally found a YouTube video that suggested putting oil or Pam on the inside of the tube to slide more easily.

It might be easier to install with the included head, but I used my own head with shower hose and it works fine. The fittings are standard size so it should work just as well with any shower head.

You'll have to remove your shower head, but make sure all the hose fittings match. I had to go to a hardware store to get an adapter.

I am making an assumption that you want to hook a garden hose directly to the slide rather than using the corrugated hose (installation manual, pg. 9 1st photo). You should be able to remove and replace the adapter where the hose normally attaches to the slide. The adapter can be replaced at a hardware store like Lowes, Home Depot, etc. (maybe even a Pool store if they sell the PVC parts) with a PVC fitting that screws into the slide where the adapter came out. The one thing to keep in mind is that the threads for the PVC replacement fitting will match the adapter, but garden hose threads are different. So ask your store personnel for a PVC threaded adapter that matches the corrugated hose piece you removed AND a garden hose adapter that can be attached to the replacement PVC adapter. Hope this makes sense.

If you don't have the hose you will need the hose. If you want a holder for it (so it can function as a regular shower head, mounted to wall) you will need the part to hold it. We had a hose from previous hose/handheld shower thing, but our holder was broken by kiddos trying to play with it. So we just ordered a holder piece.
