Can this Sloan Showerhead be adapted to a hose-type mount rather than wall-mount?

I don't know the answer because I have only used it on a wall-mount. I can tell you that it was easy to install, has worked without a problem ever since I purchased it, and is of the highest quality. I purchased it because I wanted a product made in America and have not been in the least bit disappointed.

I don't think so. It's very heavy, and I believe the threads are set for mounting it on the wall.

I guess it could with the right plumbing fittings. It will however be heavy because it is could quality shower head. heavy metal. Wall mounted preferred.

I have a similar shower and it fits just fine. The waterpik fits in between the hose mount and the shower mount just fine. It also hangs off the water line coming from the wall without any issues.

I suppose you could but it doesn't seem practical to me. The Handheld Showerhead would have to be removed from the hose and then top removed to get cartridge out. I had to work at it to get the cartridge to dislodge from the housing.

Not really. Only had it a few months. And with daily use the rubber washers wore out. The overhead shower head is too heavy for the weak poorly place wall bracket mount.

No, I had to purchase an adaptor at HomeDepot, and once fitting it on, it really took up the small vertical space I had to deal with. I gave feedback to GE on this poor design, but received no reply. I actually ended up with an adaptor, then a couple of 6" duct-elbows and put aluminum flex-hose between the two elbows. Not the best approach to use flex, but I was out of options and space!

This is an easy one. When you attach to thw water source, you are attaching the entire unit. The hose mount for the shower head is part of the unit so it appears to me you could put it anwhere you have a threaded pipe to attach to. I looked at mine and there are several simple ways to accomplish what you want to do but when you see the shower head I'll bet tou will forget wanting two shower heads. Good luck, this is a great unit.

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!

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.

Yes. The attachment of the entire unit to the pipe coming out of your wall is a plastic-covered ball joint which swivels as well as holds the sprayer. Any direction, including up and down. I've had it a while now, still a big fan.

I'm not 100% certain, but I believe you'll need to buy the Kohler hose and mount. Even if the hose would connect with the shower head, I'm pretty sure it would not fit properly in the holder. But, you will very much like the Kohler mount. It had a trigger release to make it easy to adjust the height and, once in place, it is solid. My wife and I bought the Kohler head beause of he mount, not the other way around. However, the head is very nicely designed.

It seems to be somewhat of a universal holder. I have my old American Standard shower head an it fits as well as the original holder. This does not come with a shower head or hose. I woul guess it would accomodate most brands of hand held shower heads.Unlike the American Standard slide bar, which had plastic mounts and holder, this unit is all chrome plated brass. This is a very high quality shower bar. I highly recommend.

While I cannot give a definitive answer, it would seem to be a feasible option. This is a very nice shower head especially at this price. It does have an outer ring that rotates to direct part of the flow if desired and that appears to be a difference from the Velocity models. We use ours as a shower head and have been very pleased with the performance.

I believe that all of the others have answered your question and I agree with them. I mounted ours directly to the wall outlet as pictures and we both love it that way. As already stated, you could use a "Y" outlet and do a dual mount, but that is really a great shower head and works great both ways. Why waste the time and $$? Try it the way intended and then, if you do not like it (which I doubt) look at the other options. (Bet you don't do them.)

Yes, I used a flexible shower hose. I believe that is the primary use for this type of faucet. As long as you have the right size attachement, any hose and sprayer attachement could theoretically be used.

I accidentally clicked yes, but I don't think that it will work for what you're thinking. The hardware is designed to be placed between the pipe that comes out of the wall, and your showerhead. I can't imagine any sort of attachment to a sink faucet. And the hose is 8ft long, which would be cumbersome to deal with in a sink.

A standard shower head pipe or arm works fine. That is what I used, did not have to replace the existing one, and the top of the head has a nice swivel on it.

Yes. The connections are standard hose connections (so you need to plumb for a valve box, like you would have for a washer/dryer). The hoses are attached to the panel, so that you have a couple feet of tolerance on where you mount it. Or you could extend the hoses with simple female adapters you could get from home depot, etc. After get the water connected to the hoses, you mount it to a wall, etc. with the brackets provided. I have it mounted in a shower (no bathtub), but I still like to use the bath tub nozzle to rinse off feet, pets, etc. If you never want to use the bath tub nozzle, I assume you could put a plug to screw onto it, or just be careful not to select that section on the manifold.
