Shower Fitting

Recommended Posts

I mate of mine has just WhatsApp'd me a picture of the shower head in his place. Long story short is that he wants to change the head to one that is more "overhead". His message was "can I just add a pipe hose and move it?". He's not much a DIY'er so digging out or joining the pipe is a no go. In short he wants a "quick fix".

Looking at the picture its clearly a bigger fitting than the usual 1/2" and he confirmed "its bigger than the shower hose in the other bathroom". Could it be 3/4"?

 

A Google turned up:

Followed by this maybe:

Thoughts?

So he wants to retain the ball joint to do a 45 degree bend? I guess that would work. 

 

Yes I think the shower head is probably 3/4" so the first link should be ok. Might need a washer. The Second link has water fed in via the hose - having a loop of hose hanging down would be odd.

 

I wondered if you could use something like this....

to turn the pipe horizontal instead of the existing ball joint. How much of the 1/2" fitting can you see?

Then add one of these or similar...

I was wondering if one of those braided fexi-connectors could be used to make the link between old and new - they are available with various fittings on each end and in various lengths, but it'd be as ugly as an ugly thing.
