Shower Wall Arm

[kalunga]

Hi - I have a very heavy shower head that by my measurement the thread is 22mm - I am trying to find a Wall Shower arm in Chrome that will fit that 22mm thread - where can I go?

Also - the shower head is very heavy and I have concerns on how this is going to stay in the stud wall - any recommendations? ( bearing in mind the thickness of the arm and also as the arm gets longer the weight of the head gets bigger! )

Any ideas appreciated . Thanks

welcome to the forum.
22mm is a pipe size, thread measurement will more likely be 1/2" or 3/4"

idea, could you install down from the ceiling?

Hi

I have a 45 degree pitched ceiling through the shower section and access is zero to put in pipe work down from the pitched ceiling. The only area left to use is a 90 degree stud wall that is being put across the pitched roof.

what about something like a back plate elbow which can be screwed to the timber in the wall you can get 3/4" ones

still going to need a arm of some kind - the shower head is 220mm in diameter. The head will be pointing horizontal then?

So does it mean that I need to be looking for 3/4 inch threaded Wall Arms?
