I need a shower arm with about 6.5 inches of clearance before the bend - would this arm work?

According to Amazon, this is the shower arm I ordered from them. They asked for my assistance with your question. My husband just measured and said that from the wall to where the bend starts is 6".

From the wall, 6 1/4" -- that's including the thickness of the circular base.

Hi Wes, to answer your question accurately you would need to clarify what you mean by "about 6.5" of clearance". If you need a "maximum" clearance of 6.5" this will not work for you. If you can live with a 7" clearance, this is the shower arm you're looking for. I installed it a few month ago and the quality is ssoooo good it actually enhanced the look of the shower head I attached to it. Great product, great value! Good luck.

It's crazy that you are getting 3 different measurements. Mine measured 6.5" from the wall to the bend.

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.

There are 6" out there that work but going .5" over is wise as it reduces ur chances of marring with the backing plate. Don't use smaller than 6" without a smaller backing plate.

I have a 7-foot Olympic bar and I believe it was designed only for that -- I don't think you can use a 6-foot bar on it. For sure not a 5-foot bar.

The one I just bought has a slight angle about 6" from the end. This bend seems to allow you to spray a vertical surface without having to be too far back that the wand would be to heavy to support. It worked fine for me even at full extension but it is a bit difficult to control when fully extended.

I used mine with a standard Moen shower head. If you are tall enough to reach to adjust your shower head, I don't see why it would be a problem.

Yes, it ought to work just fine. It fastens to the inside wall in two places, and to the ceiling in one place. It should not cause any interference with the wall faucet/shower. I was able to cut it to size (along the straight side) to fit my small clawfoot perfectly. You may have to take some precise measurements and cut it to fit the area of your tub, but it should work just fine.

Yes, it will fit. Our shower wall is about the same thickness. There are suction cups you put on at the bottom of the rack which holds the rack securely to the wall.

The inner bars are 6" apart and the 4 compartments can slide outward allowing the full 6 inches. If the compartments are fully extended, additional weight in them might present a problem. The sliding forward may depend on the slant of the original shower 'neck' where the shower attaches. If the neck immediately slants down, I can see how the caddy might slip. Ours does not and the suction cups are not as important in my case.

Not gonna say I am 100% on this answer but the way these hooks are curved if you were to be easy and angle up just right you should be ok! The straight part of the hook isn't quite 2 inches. You could possible add a little more bend to it and it work!

it's very flexible i wouldn't recommend you bend it it might break or pop, but it should fit it a tube 6'' in diameter

My handle is on part of the tub that is 4". We had put it on the 5" part initially, but there was a slight slant to that part of the tub so we moved it to the thinner part. This is a good handle and very secure. I think it should fit the 5.5".

Yep, I measure about 6.5 inches. There are other arms with a less severe bend that may accommodate the larger head.At 6'2", I needed the larger, higher bend to get it out of the way.

I looked at the manufacturers web site and it says this rod is only good for 58" to 60.5" shower installations. Back when I was searching on Amazon for mine I saw some other options that would work for you. Just keep looking. Good luck.

This arm can be tilted up so that it will able to be shortened that way but the shower head will also be higher. if You lower it then the arm will reach out but the shower head will be lower because of arm is lower. It works for me.

Yes. I am using it with a Moen shower head. The arm is threaded at both ends with common MPT (male pipe thread).

6' will place you very close to the top. As for position holding straight out of the box, my answer would be no. The bar is not knurled, so unless you put in extra effort in either pinning or using Lok-tight, it will most likely slip. I went with taking mine off after the first use.
