What size thread fits the shower arm to the plumbing? We've tried all the places in town and have been told it is irregular.

1/2" get a towel wrap the shower arm and a pair of pliers slowly tighten and loosen until you get the depth you need

The thread is a British thread 1/2 G I think, they are a straight thread not tapered like USA threads. The company Lightinthebox was really good about trying to answer my questions. What I did was to use 1/2 NTP thread into the valve with lots of Teflon tape and made sure the fitting bottomed out. Worked OK (no leaks yet) For the Shower head I used a nice sharp 1/2 NTP die to get the right threads so I could use a standard shower brass plumbing connector in the wall in case ever want to change it. (lots of Teflon tape also) Lightinthebox did say they have an adaptor but I couldn't wait for another shipment.Hope this helps.

Easily,Make the rod 1" larger than the opening and tighten it clockwise. This fixes it in place. It will be 1" larger than the opening. Then simply compess it to fit in the opening. It could not be much simpler. ....... It is patented...It does not work like other rods which you have to twist into place and have walk around your shower wall.John R.

I wish I could help you, but it was a few months ago, and I don't recall the details of the connection. It must have been the same size since the only difficulty of installation I remember was the typical one of working on my back under the sink tightening the fixture. It is remarkable that a plumbing supply retailer wouldn't have all possible reducers for various plastic hose transitions. I would try other plumbing supplies outlets. Perhaps you could "google" the problem and see whether others may have encountered and solved it. I hope you are successful. It is an excellent faucet -- high quality. Again, sorry, but good luck.

It is a very tight fitting pipe thread. They must be able to align the spigot thread properly with the threaded fitting. The threads of the spigot must be 90* perpendicular to the threaded fitting. Please make sure the spigot is held tightly to the threads as they turn it in.

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.

I brought the arm that was suggested with the shower head, which by memory was approx. 12", if you find one that is approx. 15" - 18" this may make a bit of a difference so you are not too close to the wall, but in saying this it also depends how big is the shower unit you have, hope this helps.

I forgot to mention that our biggest problem was that the shower system is on the European metric system. Not threaded USA fittings. It also will not accept copper fittings.

Sounds like you might be missing the trim rings? Basically a chrome, thin wall pipe that threads on to the valve body to cover the exposed valve stem, and an escutcheon that covers the hole in your shower surround. The handles should overlap the chrome pipe to prevent excess water entry

Use a plastic screw (food grade and high temp suitable - e.g. for water lines) - that is the best option I can give you. The threads seems to be non-standard.You should also try getting the correct nuts from the seller.

5 1/4" by 3 5/8".Depending on thread depth on your existing shower arm, it will add less than 5" from end of arm.

It fits the standard U.S. shower arm size of 1/2" NPT. The shower head itself is female, single start, right-hand thread.

I'm not sure what the 'shower arm and flange' are. What you see in the picture is what you get. It screws onto the pipe coming out of the wall in your shower. There is no 'arm' that articulates it out further from the wall. You do not need to buy anything else if all you want is to hook the shower head onto your piping connection.

While that shower arm is nice, ask yourself if you want it for the look or the adjustability. It may be worth looking at the plumbing supply house or even Home Depot for fixed chrome shower arms. The shower head itself already does have a bit of adjustability built in.

What shower are you installing? I was in the same situation as you a year ago. What I did was go into delta's website, find the set I wanted and look at the parts list. That told me which one to choose. Good luck!

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 believe it is 1/2" pipe thread, which is pretty standard for shower heads.

It is standard 3/9 pipe thread. It would most likely work with an adapter but it would make it a little cumbersome. I attached mine with a open/close valve incorporated with my shower head. Works fine.
