Simple Plumbing Problem: Shower Heads

[zut]

@Jinx

To clarify: At first, I was thinking she can’t reach the handheld shower head mounted in the bracket. Now, I realize she won’t be able to reach the diverter, either. I visited Lowe’s and Home Depot. Why do they sell shower pipe that has male threads on both ends? Of what good is that? In general, it seems there is no standard pipe. The next best thing is to leave the diverter in one position, and let the shower head hang down, or buy a bracket that suction-cups to the wall. You can’t tell me no other woman has run into this. The shower head assembly is basically useless without being versatile.

Are you looking for one of these? They’re “shower arm extenders,” and allow you to reposition the shower head farther up, down, or to the side. (Here’s a picture of one installed so you can envision how it works.)
