Does this need a special fitting? I unscrewed my shower head and the filter sleeve seemed smaller than the pipe i was trying to connect to.

Nothing special needed at all. Standard shower pipe connection. Just use a little Teflon tape around the threads to secure no leakage.

Mine didn't. Does your shower head fit on the filter? If not you'll need two adapters, one for the filter and one for the shower head.

Take the shower head and the filter to your plumbing parts store to show the store associate what you need to do, and they will direct you to what you need.

I took my Aquasana to Home Depot and had someone help me with the necessary fittings.

The fitting that comes with it fits the screw off aerator on the faucet. I do not see a way to use it in the shower.

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.

I had to buy a small pipe extension in order for it to for on one of my showers. The other just screwd right on. Depends on your existing shower head

Hi. Place the filter in and then the rubber should fit snug around the filter.

We find a filter of this size adequate for our three bedroom house. Alas, we do not actually use *this* model. I purchased it, and then found that the threaded fittings I was using bottomed out before forming a tight seal. I ditched this filter and purchased another one locally.

There are no special fittings needed. The typical generic ones that you can get from any hardware store. I got mine from ACE but again, they were nothing special, rather ACE was the closest hardware store to my house.

not at all, you just need a wrench to remove your current shower head and teflon tape which you can buy at walmart or right here on amazon, to wrap around the your pipe to make sure the shower filter head will fit snug and not leak. You can use the wrench to secure the shower head to the pipe.

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!

Try flipping the attachment ring over and then screw it on. Then screw the filter on. This should work. When I first tried mine I thought it did not fit until I flipped the adapter over.

Yes it should fit any standard threaded pipe fitting, And after you screw this onto your existing fitting it swivels up or down to your needs, and the part on top adjusts as needed as well, it's a great solution to older showers that are too short.

When I had my filter replaced with the same model filter, I used the multiport valve from my old filter and it worked perfectly. The old valve fit the new filter with no problem.

Sorry but the filter socket you were asking about will not fit. Wrong size. Hell I even made mistake of buying this one before I got used to the format of checking red comments before I buy. I needed to get correct one now and figured what to do with this one-! :o)

I assume you mean the elbow that you are attaching to the wall inlet? Are you using the "sweep" elbow or the short elbow? The short elbows should fit.

This fits onto the pipe itself, then the fixed shower head and the handheld hose is attached to it.Hope this helps. Remeber to use any rubber washers enclosed, as well as teflon tape.I love mine.

Good question - i had to take fittings off my power washer wands and put on this - works perfect then (was not a big deal for me)

I have the intex 12'x24' rectangular ultraframe and if your inlet is like mine there should be threads on the strainer. There will be an outside lip, male threads (the adapter screws on here) and then the intake strainer in the middle. The strainer isn't meant to come off.
