Understanding the 16 Inch Reach and NPT Threading
When upgrading to a rain shower head, distance from the wall is just as important as water pressure. Think of this shower arm like a bridge that spans the gap between your wall water supply and the center of your shower stall, ensuring water falls straight down rather than against the tile wall. The 16 inch length extends far enough to accommodate large shower heads comfortably. Meanwhile, the standard 1/2 inch NPT male and female threading acts like a universal handshake with your existing plumbing, creating a tight mechanical seal when wrapped in proper thread-sealing tape.
Installation Guide
Ensure the water supply is completely turned off at the main valve before beginning installation.
Wrap thread-sealing plumber tape around the 1/2 inch NPT wall supply threads clockwise for a leak-free connection.
Thread the female end of the shower arm firmly into the wall water supply until secure and properly aligned.
Attach your compatible rain shower head to the male 1/2 inch NPT end of the arm, tightening by hand and securing with a soft-jaw wrench if needed.
Care & Maintenance
Routine Wiping Wipe the black matte finish down with a soft, damp microfiber cloth after use to prevent water spot buildup.
Mild Cleanser Clean periodically using a mild, pH-balanced liquid soap mixed with warm water.
Avoid Abrasives Never use abrasive scrubbers, steel wool, or harsh chemical solvents that can scratch or damage the powder coated finish.
Rinse Thoroughly Always rinse soap residue away with clean water and dry with a soft towel to maintain the finish.
Inspect Connections Check the wall connection annually to ensure the arm remains secure and properly sealed against the tile.
