Shower arm question...

[GottaDiesel]

I've got a 32"x60" shower... surrounded by glass on three sides. The non-glass side is a 60" side. The shower arm is located on this 60" side. It is located 10" from the edge (the glass wall to the left).

I would like to know if there is a 90 degree bend that I can put on the end of the arm and then attach the head to that?

(The swivel types that you see everywhere do not give enough of an angle for this application. The only alternative I've come up with is to do a diverter (which is a 90 degree bend by nature) and use the diverted part for the head and the non-diverted part for the massager. While this will work, I'd like all options, if any.



This shower head and arm (only in chrome) is what we're dealing with.

Thanks,

Pete

This is just my guess, since I'm not a plumber by trade.
The pipe that the shower head screws on to is threaded, and generally sticks out a little from the wall. I don't see why you couldn't buy a 90 degree pipe fitting that's threaded on the inside, and then buy a nipple (section of pipe threaded on both ends) to reattach your shower head to. I would go into a home improvement store with a big plumbing selection, and mock something up. Can't be more than $10 for a fitting and a nipple. The nipples are available in various lengths, from 2-6" IIRC.
Once it's the length you want, I don't know how it would look chromed.

I've seen shower heads at the end of a double cantilevered arm such as the one below. This one has the rainfall head, but, I'm sure they make one with a standard head. You can probably get the head 16" further down the tub enclosure with such a device.

It also would look reasonably good........unlike a set of hard iron pipes.

I was going to suggest what Brian did above. I have one like that in my little shower, it makes it so a 5'11" person can fit under what would normally be for a 5'4" person.

Some ideas! Thanks guys, Pete
