Plumb Pak K780BN Flexible Shower Arm, Brushed Nickel

This really did the trick for a shower head that we had installed way too high. I haven't experienced the problem some others mention where its overly malleable an won't stay in place. It did leak at connections but that's why they created teflon tape right? It has a nice quality finish and feel. Very happy with my purchase.

I used the plumbing tape & it took quite a bit of turning (with a special wrench) to get it fitted properly on the wall pipe. Then the showerhead needed some extra turns too. However, that said, it's been a fantastic product that has worked (drip-free)! The pipe coming from the wall was so short & I'm short enough that I wanted the showerhead to be down closer to my level. This extension solves that problem & is flexible enough I can move it around a bit. Good value!

The product performs as advertised but not that much improvement over the rigid shower arm. Before I installed the flexible shower arm, I removed the lining insert because I thought it was a water-saving device. When I tried to test the new installation, water blew all over! Turns out the flexible feature is not waterproof - it needed the internal hose. My bad. I was going to order a second flexible shower arm, but I came to realize that the flex part didn't bend 90 degrees - more like 50 degrees which roughly compared to the bend in the rigid shower arm with no water restrictions. I decided to keep the rigid shower arm.

These kind of shower arms are really hard to find, and I wanted this one to work so badly that I thought I could maneuver around the substantial leaks that cropped up immediately after I started using it. I mean, in the shower it's not like that water doesn't have somewhere to go. I was willing to trade off some leaking for the wonderful flexibility of this arm. Before long however the leaks became geysers shooting OVER the water curtain and I found myself walking out one day to a squishy-wet bath mat. That's when I knew this thing had to go. It shouldn't have taken me that long, and unfortunately it was only slightly after the return window, which is my fault of course, but there's no getting around the fact that this is a seriously defective product. If the leaks were only in the connections between the arm and the wall or between the arm and the shower head, I might have attributed that to installation, but the most dramatic of them were running all along the length of the arm itself. It makes sense that a flexible metal tube would be susceptible to leaking, so I hope someone finds a more workable solution.

The extension tube arrived as promised and already installed. Happy.

Product won't hold up a large shower head. Might do okay with a small plastic one but we needed this to adjust the flow of the water to another area of our shower so it wouldn't spray out. It couldn't hold up our shower head. Only order if you have a small light weight shower head.

Very quick and easy to install. Love that it is rigid enough to stay exactly where you point the showerhead. You can point it away while you soap up and then use it as a mini wand while rinsing yourself off, pointing it in different directions. I am 6'2" so I installed the plumbing for the shower head high so the shower head was above my head. The problem was when she took a shower the water was hitting her head and face, she would have to stand way back while showering. This inexpensive addition solved all our problems. Comes in handy while cleaning the shower too, by being able to direct the water where ever needed to rinse off the cleaner.

Too weak to support weight of rain showerhead. Might work well for lighter showerhead.
