Review on 🚿 Upgrade Your Shower Experience with a 14 Inch Shower Head Extension Arm - Strong, Large Flow, Chrome (135degree) by Elizabeth Jackson

This extension is suitable for using a rain shower head on an existing curved pipe, as is common with most shower trays. It increases the end height of most flatheads so you don't hit them with your head, and extends them a little over a foot closer to the center of the tub so you can feel the water slowing down instead of splashing at you. from the front. WHAT IT IS There is nothing unique about this whistle, but you would think that, useful as it is, it will sell hundreds of places. No, it is actually the only tube of this design that I could find anywhere. And I bet the sellers know that because twenty bucks seems like a lot for what it is. Yes it is a very useful product and there are many other things designed to do the same job. They all have some sort of adjustable lever with pull rods in one but usually two places. The benefit of this design is that you can raise and lower the shower head, but the cons far outweigh these benefits as most cannot hold the setting without slipping and if you have a large metal rain head they will slip almost guaranteed. They also flow through the fittings and, due to their design, all have a significantly reduced water consumption, which is almost halved. CONSTRUCTION This design is basically a fully open tube bent into an S shape and fitted with an adapter that allows you to attach it to a tube that is already coming out of your wall. Because it's just a bent tube, there are no joints to restrict water flow, leaks, or slippage. The entire assembly is made up of several pieces that need to be held together, it's not one piece as some say. That's its annoying weakness: every time more parts are involved, there's more chance of something going wrong. The bottom line is that they don't say how much torque can be applied to the connectors before they snap, and if you're the person standing under a heavy showerhead, that's important to know. It's not enough to know what you can put on for a heavy head. From what I can see they use a fairly strong brass nut inside to hold the pieces together. There's a hole in this nut that reduces water flow, but how much of a mystery it is is another thing they don't tell you. rubber washer. Unfortunately they only show a photo of this thing and it's covered in matting spray. The actual block is very bright shiny chrome and looks very nice. Be careful when using a cheap wrench to attach. I would suggest using a crescent wrench with a piece of soft cloth to protect the fairing during installation, which takes about five minutes total. THE BEST WAY. to do with their design, which I really like, but the whole idea is to attach it to an existing pipe coming out of the wall. Trying to adjust multiple angles to get what you want will strain everything in the best possible conditions. The best way is to attach it to the pipe behind the wall. This was fairly easy in the old building, using iron or copper pipes attached to a post behind the wall. Nowadays, I hope, it's just a single cantilevered PVC pipe to which the supply line to the bathroom is welded. So there is no way for me to pull out the short feed tube and get it right. BUY RECOMMENDATION. Since I couldn't find a similar product, I have to say that even if it exists, it should deserve credit. Once installed, it looks beautiful and is as strong as it gets. There are few things that make it the best. First, I think the flow restrictor could be designed with a larger orifice. Of course, there's no way to remove it, because that's what holds everything together. While the steps at the end where you attach the shower head are adequate, I find the one where you attach it to the wall pipe too shallow, but I worry that with all that weight there might not be enough threads. And of course the twenty dollar price tag seems like a lot, but I'm not saying it's a bad product, just be aware of what you're getting yourself into.
