I recently upgraded hardware in my bathroom: I added "rain can" heads (Delta 52841). While they are a really upgrade, the old shower head was designed to be stood in front of, w water coming down/toward you. Rain cans are designed to be stood under, with water coming ... well, like rain!My bath has two facing showers: on the right is standard 12" straight pipe w 3" right-angle drop. While it looks nice, the in-shower feel is a little cramped: the head is just a couple inches above me (I am 6' tall, exactly) and it's a bit too close to the wall. The Purelux High-Arc solves both problems!If you look at the shower on the left (17" High Arc) you can see that not only is it 5" further out from the wall, but it is also about 6" higher. That makes all the difference: the shower is comfortable, and the rain falls from above.Add to that the overall quality--kit includes a roll of standard teflon tape and contemporary round flange--and the great packaging (prevents any nicks to the chrome finish) and this is a super value.NOTE: I am installing the same pipe on the right side, too: thought the photo made for a great visual on the difference that the High-Arc pipe actually makes.

Although this didn’t work for my shower (the rise was too high and most likely will b for anyone whose shower doesn’t go to their bathroom ceiling i.e. fiberglass inserts, etc.) it was good quality and priced well. I followed NIO’s instructions in his review and 1. I found a 3way diverter that held very well and wasn’t too heavy - delta U4929-PK 3way diverter. 2. I also found a chrome finish female to female coupling *with the hex (naiture brand on amazon). THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Although this could’ve been achieved for much cheaper (and less work lol) the finished product is high quality and much better than the 2-in-1 product I had originally ordered. My only suggestion would be to just order the purelux shower arm with 8” round shower head combo instead of getting a separate rain head. It will save you some money. It doesn’t come with an arched arm but it’s nice and the end result is *almost* identical (and will save water!). Unless you’re hellbent on getting a larger square rain shower, just go with the one I mentioned lol. If you’re doing a DIY rain shower head & separate handheld, FOLLOW NIO’s REVIEW!!

I bought this to use with my New Moon rain shower head (https://www.amazon.com/Showerhead-Ultra-Thin-Experience-NearMoon-Stainless/dp/B083V61CWY?pd_rd_w=C9pO7&pf_rd_p=a92e0124-cfa8-4f1e-82b5-a4a348d97008&pf_rd_r=66PWVC4SASYHKP0NR7ZR&pd_rd_r=8cb421a9-0241-421d-853e-db95e79306bb&pd_rd_wg=jBY81&pd_rd_i=B083V61CWY&ref_=pd_bap_d_rp_1_1_t). It feels very solid and is well finished. It lifts the rain show head to an ideal height. Bottom line it looks and works great. I also highly recommend you watch a video if you haven't removed a shower pipe before as getting this part wrong could really ruin your day. This part only seems simple. I watched "How to Remove a Stuck Shower Arm Pipe for a New Shower Head" by jeffostroff on YouTube. Never met that man, but I love him!

Very nice shower arm that put my shower head up a good bit higher than the old arm. It would have been nice for it to have been made of thicker material, but it's holding up my shower head with no bending. I was careful to hold it near the straight part of the arm when screwing it into the elbow, minimizing the chance of bending the arc part of the arm. The finish is smooth and bright, matching the chrome finish of the rest of my shower hardware very well.

Just what I needed to get my SunMoon 12 square Rainfall shower head away from the wall (original shower arm was only 5 inches long) and not get into the way (it keeps the shower head up at the original height.) In my case, the rainfall head is now about 8" from the wall.

For decades I've been dreaming about having two things at the same time: 1) A rain shower, the bigger the better; 2) A shower handle. After many trips to Home Depot / Ace Hardware and many orders on Amazon, you can see in the attached pictures the end result. Below all the parts that you need to accomplish the same thing:- The shower arm extension listed here (Purelux High Arc Shower Arm).- Brass Pipe Coupling 1/2 in FIP female-to-female. Buy an hexagonal one that you can use a wrench to tighten. You won't be able to tighten a round / pipe-shaped one because the wrench won't be able to grab it.- Delta Faucet U4996 Shower Arm and Flange.- A shower handle with hose.- A shower handle holder that you can glue to the wall.- A rain shower head, as big as you like, 12-inch is what I used.- Delta Shower Arm Diverter for Hand Shower. Do not buy any other one! Do not buy a 3-way, they are all to fragile to hold the weight of the shower head + arm.- A lot of teflon tape to avoid leaks.- An adjustable wrench.- A long and strong screwdriver to unscrew the original shower arm from your wall pipe (they tend to be tight, your bare hands will probably not be able to unscrew it).Notes:- My shower handle holder is too high because at first I tried to go with the 3-way diverter, so I could have rain shower and shower handle at the same time. The solution I'm describing here uses a simple, strong and solid diverter, so you either have the rain shower or the shower handle at any given time (i.e. you can't have both turned on at the same time).- If you are able to find a SOLID 3-way diverter that can do the job, please leave a comment. By solid I mean it has to be a single metal piece, like the diverter I listed here.- If you were able to succeed, please leave a comment here. This is not easy but the end-result is well worth it!

I love a rain shower, but my showerhead was almost low enough to touch my head. Now, everything works great and I have plenty of headroom and a great looking shower. Installed in under 5 minutes with no tools.This product is just what I needed.
