Has anyone using it as a shower head instead of a ceiling shower tried an extension arm with it?

Haven't used it yet I'm remodeling but will be using it as a ceiling shower.

Yes, we used the Hansgrohe 16" extension arm. It worked perfectly and the swivel allows you to use it as an overhead or traditional angled.

I tried, and it didn't work out too well. It kept collapsing, even after it was tightened to the max.

It's hard to say but I felt this shower head only improved my water pressure. Just make sure you get the extension bar that's "frequently purchased with" or you will be showering up against the wall.

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.

No, this isn't a shower head, it's a hose extension. I'm not sure if you mean you just want to use this extension hose with your old shower head, is so, that most likely will not work as well. The hose has two female ends, so unless you have a shower head with a male end, it will not work with this.

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.

It does not have an arm, but screws into existing shower plumbing. It is a great showerhead.Jack

Yes. It will simply extend the shower head about 1.5 inches beyond the supply pipe, as you see in the picture. However, I recommend you look for the ShowerFloss brand. I have tried both, and the ShowerFloss is a superior product. The brand you are asking about is flawed, because the flow controller is on the handle and comes out too easily. I bought my first ShowerFloss 10 years ago and recently spent a few bucks to replace the heads. They sell all the parts individually. I noticed they have a listing on Amazon now, or you can go to their website. The device was invented by a dentist in Atlanta who used to sell it by mail order, before the days of internet shopping.

Yes! I had mine installed from the ceiling. Just make sure you have enough clearance for the tall folks. I just checked- my shower head is 82" from the tub floor. As the water falls from the shower head, it gains momentum. The center of my shower head is 23" from the front wall (spigot wall). I like having some space at the rear of the shower to get out of the spray. (shaving legs etc.) Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine! :)

The handheld is not adjustable like that. The main shower head is though. The entire fixture will lean any way that your actual pipe attachment does. Mine tilts down a bit because there is a curve in the pipe that it attaches to... I too was worried about this because my shower ceiling is quite low. It works really great though, I love this shower head fixture!

I have a square rainfall shower head that is probably about 10". This S-shaped arm handled half the problem - it got the shower head up to the right height. Unfortunately it doesn't extend out from the wall far enough, so when you have a shower head that points straight down, you'd practically be sitting on the shower faucet handle to get underneath it. I solved that by coupling together this arm and another product, a Delta Universal Showering Components Adjustable Shower Arm Extender. Now the shower head is way up high and also extended out plenty far from the wall. It's too bad that one product couldn't do both these things, but I'm pleased with the setup.

We have a standard 8' ceiling and have a 4" extension pipe for the shower head ceiling mount. It's amazing. We're 5'8" and 6'1" and love it.

I guess you could, but you would need a straight shower arm instead of the curved one that comes with it. 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.

I think so. I never used it because my shower is not a hand held one. If I hooked that up the water would be facing the wall.

I have a longer (~14") angled pipe at the shower head, and this seems to give quite a bit when removing/replacing the handheld wand. I have found the secret of removal to be placing my thumb on the outer ring while pulling the lower part of the wand outward. So, I push with that thumb while pulling the wand out & up slightly. I hope it works for you!

You can adjust this arm any direction, depending on what you are attaching it to, but it would surprise me if it doesn't. Also, the shower head you attach can be swivelled on the end. Mine centers over the shower and I love it!

Why would you want to? No, it is strictly a shower head- read David L's comment for a solution. FYI-It is a great shower head.
