[@bretsalowitz]

Great video

[@stevesproul3744]

Great video brother. Now that my fiancé seen this I’ll be installing one 😂 that water coming down on you cracked us up 😂😂😂

[@ThatFixItGuy]

It seems pretty nice. I have not asked my friend is he likes it. The style is great looking for sure. Glad I gave you guys a laugh. I shot another video right after that and just did it wet! Thanks Steve!

[@Sagqueen123]

Thanks going install mines this week

[@bronx-calizoo5132]

That was awesome! I never thought about doubling the teflon tape, in order for it to not be noticeable in the connection area. Thanks!!! 👍

[@ThatFixItGuy]

So happy that tip helped! Hope we can help again.

[@nan2yvr804]

You gave easy to follow instructions with a bit of humour!! Many thanks from Vancouver 🇨🇦

[@timkerwin6886]

great video; this is what I was looking for so I can install my new rain shower head with the extension bar. Cheers

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Your welcome. I hope we can help again.

[@mmiranda3159]

Great video, thorough explanation!

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Thank you. So glad we could help. Hope we can help again.

[@cactusstudiossouth]

Nice job using JB Water Weld! Overtime that makes all the difference in the world!

[@ThatFixItGuy]

For this application I think so as well. That arm is so long it would get broken off at some point. Seen it a few times.

[@daijoubu4529]

When testing for leak, you need to have back pressure and the pipe filled with water, so you''ll want to have the shower head attached.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

You are correct. My process get a little jacked up because of that big shower head. I did not want any weight on that pipe till the water weld set up. Great catch.

[@sandrahill3434]

The ending was priceless 😂

[@jingirlillahi6531]

epic ending...useful diy...

[@jaredkean7841]

Almost to 2k friend!!

[@brittblanton8342]

Hey Brian thanks for the tips, you make it look so easy, if I was taking my pipe out of the wall like you did it would be my luck the pipe in the wall would break 😂

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Lol! I don’t think so. This method really does make it easy to take it out.

Thank you for watching!

6:05 serious side of plumbing. "Pretty narly, can jack your hands up". :)

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Whole body can get jacked up! Such a young persons game. I tell people all the time to take care of their bodies! No. 1 thing.

[@garyjsimm]

Are all fittings standard ?

[@jingirlillahi6531]

where to buy that shower head?

[@crileyn]

Do we need to turn off the water supply from outside the house to do this?

[@nicoleDirtyPictures]

I have the same shower arm, how can I get a handheld attachment with a shower arm that is right angled? Is that possible without having to replace the arm?

[@truetrav7333]

AHHHH!!!

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Glad this helped.

[@cynthiaayers7696]

Hook the shower wand temporarily to the ceiling now you have a rain head with adjustments. Saves money and time.

[@lyndamurphy7369]

I’m having trouble getting my old arm out of the wall. Don’t want to break it. Any suggestions. Tried using the end of the pipe wrench. I’m a female but pretty strong.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

I’m assuming that you are putting a new arm on. I would use the pipe wrench as close to the wall as you can and try to spin it off. Do you know what kind of pipe is in your house?

[@biffalobull2335]

The scene at 10:07 warrants a PG13 rating

[@JayTomasetti]

Correction! The front of the escutcheon is not facing the wall. The back side is facing the wall.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Good catch.

[@starr8111]

Where did you buy that long shower pipe

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Amazon. There is a link in the description box and right here. Spectra+ Rain Shower Head link: amzn.to/3mxYR25

[@lizjackson6639]

I live in an apartment and am wondering if it is easy to uninstall also? Does the water weld come off easily?

[@ThatFixItGuy]

It is pretty easy to come off: it will mainly be stuck to the pipe and will usually spin off with that.

[@roykygar4960]

Does the shower head come with the bent pipe?

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Yes that shower head comes with that shower arm (bent pipe). There is a link in the description of the video if you like.

[@NewYorksFinest1]

do they make it with a longer pipe so its in the middle of the shower ?

[@ThatFixItGuy]

I imagine they make longer ones. I would want to support that some way though. It would suck if it broke off.

[@cheetah219]

Why wouldnt you leave a little gap below the water weld bond so if a leak does present itself it drains out and you can identify potential internal wall damage before it gets serious?

[@ThatFixItGuy]

I did not think about that. Good call. Thank you

[@NewYorksFinest1]

question: my shower heard comes out the wall and down like yours. I want my rain shower head to go up close to the ceiling and extended about 22-25 inches so it will look like the rainfall is in the middle of the shower tub. how do I do that?

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Maybe with cpvc. That is the lightest. If you wanted to pipe up a set up out of copper you could do that, but I would add a support on the ceiling.

[@NewYorksFinest1]

@@ThatFixItGuy we got the faucet yesterday and it's too short for me so I ordered a extender pipe and 2- 90 degree elbows. Hopefully they does the trick

[@MarkStatkus]

I got a KES 16” extension but its a square tube, and after the contractor left the whole that was cut isn’t quite big enough. Square hits the edge as I twist it in. Is it worth trying to use a 1” nipple extension or try to cut the whole bigger?

[@ThatFixItGuy]

is using the nipple going to make it look funky? Do you have facebook? send a pic I would love to try and help out.

[@MarkStatkus]

@@ThatFixItGuy I'll attempt to illustrate with a few pictures: content.cybercussion.com/vault/shower/issue.png content.cybercussion.com/vault/shower/1in-pipe-extension.png content.cybercussion.com/vault/shower/KES-installed.png Seems to have worked ok. Now I can order glass and get this project done!

[@ThatFixItGuy]

That looks great. That will work awesome! I would just check it while it is running for a while. that is a awesome looking shower arm and head!

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Not to mention the shower ceiling.

[@MarkStatkus]

@@ThatFixItGuy went with a burnt pine shiplap,and used marine seal to make sure it would do ok with the humidity. I did a run to test and I didn’t see any leaks so far. Doubled up the Teflon tape and also used some pipe dope.

[@mountainson8688]

HAHAHA! That counts as a shower! :D

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Lol. I thought so too!

[@daijoubu4529]

The connection at the showerhead is not NPT/tapered but straight IPS and is sealing with a washer so it doesn't need teflon tape

[@ThatFixItGuy]

I can’t even count how many times I’ve seen leaks on shower heads that had no Teflon tape on them.

[@daijoubu4529]

@@ThatFixItGuy But the straight threads are not supposed to seal with tape, you can find shower arm on Amazon for the Euro/asian market and both ends are straight, if you try to seal with tape, garanteed it will leak. That's why I bought silicone gaskets, those rubber ones always dry out and become hard/rot

[@ThatFixItGuy]

So what do you do on the other side of the shower arm that goes in the wall? It’s the same NPT. Do you don’t use Teflon on it?

[@ThatFixItGuy]

I will have to look up silicone washers for a shower head.

[@daijoubu4529]

@@ThatFixItGuy That's the thing, the connection in the wall is tapered/NPT so yes tape, connection at the shower head are straight threads.

[@kmain0]

Why are you putting megaloc on the threaded end? What if someone wants to remove it one day?

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Megalock is not like true blue or a lock tite. It does not get hard that way. It is more like an anti seize and sealant.

[@Bri11ante]

If only the shower head connector was that high for me. I would have to cut out a piece of the wall and tile to extend the piping high them get a female end out to male?

[@ThatFixItGuy]

I know! I really liked that shower! I wish mine was up that high too!

[@cynthiaayers7696]

Hook the shower wand to the ceiling temporarily now you have rain head with adjustments. Cakewalk.

[@AverageReviewsYT]

Instructions not clear.. screwed tub diverter onto shower arm :(

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Sorry I tried.

[@AverageReviewsYT]

@@ThatFixItGuy i was hoping you would see this stupid comment lol

[@cynthiaayers7696]

Why do this when a shower wand hooked temporarily to the ceiling will do the same thing. And you don't need the extra plumbing. Besides the wand has adjustments for different effects. Saving you money and time.

[@ThatFixItGuy]

That is a great call. I may do this set up at some point.
