Is the arm a neccesity for this shower head or will just the shower head be ok?

I think is not required, but sure it gives a better look! Also, it will depend on what you have installed.

I wouldn't do business with these people. I bought a shower head, it didn't work, I sent it back, they got it and I have not received my money back on the shower head and this has been going on since April 2014. If it doesn't work, don't expect a refund, find some other way to use the product.

I used the arm but it looks as though you can use it without the arm as well.

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.

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 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 just checked and no, the shower head does not seem to be able to be removed from the arm.

Yes it is adjustable, both the arm and the shower head. I do not have mine installed yet as we are still doing some tile work, but I have taken the unit out of the box and looked it over. Held it up to the height that we want to install it and did adjust/ move the shower head. It has a small knob that loosens it for you to adjust the shower head, and then turn the knob to tighten it in place. It looks like a very nice unit, and I can't wait to see what it all looks like finished. Hope this helps you!

I can see no reason why y'all can not attach a different shower head to the filter arm as the unit just screws on and off. My only concern would be that can the filter arm bear the weight of a larger shower head?

A standard shower head should be no problem. I used the shower head I already had.

Yes a handle will fit into the slot so you do not have to hold it. However if you already have a handle it may or man= not fit in the slot, Also you would need an additional shower head. One fixed and one on a hose that fits in the slot.

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.

The only restriction is the valve it self. I used one valve for a handle held and the other for straight shower, worked perfectly. No restriction on the shower side.

Kim, This is just the shower head and the arm. The style is very modern and it's chrome. Anything modern and chrome will match. Use some imagination. It doesn't have to be listed as "matching" to match. Try American Standard T064700.002 Serin On/Off Volume Control Trim Kit, Metal Knob Handle (Valve Not Included), Polished Chrome You can also try something that's square and modern

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

When replacing an existing shower head, unscrew the shower arm at the wall and replace it with a longer shower arm. There are many styles to chose from (search Amazon for "shower arm"). Adjustable shower arms will allow you to adjust both the height and direction of the shower faucet head. One of the best adjustable shower arms is Delta Faucet UA902-PK 10-inch Adjustable Shower Arm.

Can't say for sure, but I would think so. I used it for a 6" shower head. More than the size, I would think the weight of your shower head is what you should consider. The metal in the arm is strong. The tightening of the connections is likely the more important factor in holding up the shower head itself.

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

When you get the package you have to connect the shower head to the chrome arm that extended from the panel. There are a series of pipes in the back of the panel that feed the various water outlets. I suppose you could disconnect the pipe that goes to the shower head from the arm or go directly from the arm with another pipe, but I did not study the piping in the back to know for sure if that is possible.

This shower head fits a standard shower neck (arm) (1/2 inch I do believe). I would measure the diameter of your shower neck and install an appropriate shower neck adapter (female to male). An example would be 3/8" to 1/2" depending on your existing pipe diameter. You may also have an older style shower arm that has a ball joint on the end of it (literally, a ball joint shower arm). In this case, you will need a ball joint shower arm adapter. I included a link but this adapter is specifically for Gerber ball joint shower arms. I hope this helps. http://www.amazon.com/Whedon-Gerber-Joint-Shower-Adapter/dp/B000H621ZO/

I don't think so. You need a shower arm for this shower head. This mount is for handheld showerheads. It looks like the handle you want to buy screws directly into a shower arm that is hooked directly into your plumbing.
