Classic Round Overhead Shower Arm Chrome

Description

The Classic Round Overhead Shower Arm is the plain, straight wall arm that most fixed overhead showers hang from. It fixes to the wall at the top of the shower recess, angles down slightly and holds the shower head out over the bathing area. The body is solid brass under a polished chrome finish, and both ends carry the standard G1/2 inch thread used across Australian shower fittings, so it suits the matching Classic Round Shower Head or any other standard head you already own.

At roughly 305mm long with about 190mm of projection from the wall, it puts a 200 to 250mm rain head far enough out that water lands in the middle of the recess rather than running down the tiles. The round 54mm wall flange sits flat against the tile face and hides the pipe entry and any small gap in the tile cut.

About overhead shower arms

An overhead shower arm is the fitting between the wall outlet and the shower head. Its job is simple: carry the water out from the wall and hold the head at a comfortable height and distance. The two numbers that matter are the projection, which is how far the head ends up from the wall, and the thread, which in Australia is almost always G1/2 inch.

Projection matters more than people expect. A large rain head on a short arm sits too close to the wall and half the spray runs down the tiles. Around 190mm of projection suits heads up to about 250mm across. For very large heads, or where the wall outlet is set well back, a longer arm or a ceiling drop is the better choice.

Fixed arms like this one hold the head at a set angle, which keeps the install neat and gives nothing to loosen over time. If you want to adjust the head position after tiling, look at a swivel arm such as the Cube Overhead Shower Arm Swivel instead. Whichever arm you choose, wrap the threads with plumber’s tape and match the finish of the arm to the head and the mixer so the recess reads as one set.
