Shower Arms

A shower arm connects the shower head to the wall or ceiling. It is a small part, but it decides the height and position of the spray, so the right arm makes a shower more comfortable to use. 

Arms come in wall-mounted and ceiling-mounted styles. A wall arm projects from the wall and suits standard showers, while a ceiling arm drops from above and suits large rain heads. Length and shape vary, so choose one that places the head where you want it. 

Check the details before you buy. Look at the arm length, the thread type and the finish, and make sure it suits your shower head. A longer arm brings the head further into the shower, while a shorter arm keeps it close to the wall. 

Sealing is important. The arm is fixed to a wall fitting, which must be sealed properly to prevent leaks inside the wall. A licensed plumber should install or replace the arm, and check the connection. 

Finish and fit complete the look. Choose a finish that matches the head and the mixer, so the shower hardware looks like a set. 

Browse the range to compare arms, and choose one that suits your shower.
