LDR Industries 520 2419CP Shower Arm, Silver

I recently noticed that my partner, who is 6’2”, had started sitting down on the floor of the shower when washing his hair. I asked him why, and he said it was because it was hurting his back to bend over to do it, but he didn’t want to have to pay a plumber to rehang the shower head higher on the wall, retile, etc. I was like, “This seems like a fixable problem.” Sure enough, a quick Amazon search revealed this bit of pipe, which took all of about 15 minutes to install, and works perfectly.If you’re tall, there’s no need to suffer through squatting in the shower! Get this thing. You’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner!

Tall people rejoice! This LDR Industries 520 2419CP High Rise Shower Arm and Flange makes showering so much easier.I am fairly tall for a woman and my teen son is 6'3". At our beach cottage, the shower arm is located pretty low even for me and my son had to bend wat the waist to wash his hair. I did install a hand held shower head but it's hard to wash your hair with only one hand - especially if it is waist length. One day, I saw this on Amazon and was stunned. How was I not aware of these before??It's a chrome plated pipe with threads on either end and it took about 3 minutes to install. (You will need some plumber's tape.) Wow! What a difference! My son is thrilled and I like it better, too. It even comes with a chrome flange to cover the hole nicely.I wish it came in a brushed nickel finish to match the rest of my bathroom hardware but hey, I am not complaining. If there are tall people in your house, get one. They will love you for it.

If you're tall and tired of bending over to wash your hair, this pipe is for you! It's a little sketchy to install because you need some kind of wrench in order to grab ahold of the existing pipe off and i felt like i might break the whole thing inside the wall and then i'd be shafted, but in reality you just need to "unscrew" the existing pipe and then screw this one in. It's easy even if you're as smart as a house plant. Get a little of that white plumbers tape and it won't leak at all.

Absolutely the cleverest, best, neatest little gadget I have seen in some time. We live in a renovated pre-war row house, which I generally love, but let's be honest, old buildings have quirks. A major quirk of this one is the height of the shower fixtures. Not sure if it's an original to the building problem, or a klutzy mistake made in the reno, but the 5'9" water stream gave my 6' tall husband fits. Purchased this and had it installed by my regular handyman. Problem solved!! It's a nice heavy gauge, which makes it seem durable. And it looks fantastic, very period-appropriate, as well as very spa-like. Paired it with the Speakman S2252 anystream in polished chrome, also purchased from Amazon, and it's like a total bathroom remodel for less than $100. Genius! Did I say genius? Can I say it again? Genius!

4/5 RatingProsSuper easy to installEasy to useArrived quickConsLonger than I anticipatedI recently purchased a new showerhead and filter, due to the low placement of the shower arm in our bathroom it brought the showerhead almost to my chest. No one can take a shower like that. So I researched and came across a shower arm extension. This thing is invaluable I just wish I could locate a 6 inch extension I think that would be PERFECT for our home. This 10 inch is extremely long and will raise your showerhead HIGH.. it's better than before so we will stick with this until I find a 6 incher.

By far the easiest way to deal with overly-low shower head placement. I am 6’4” and it would seem most plumbers are not. I find myself scooching down to get under most showerheads. This solution solves that without breaking into tile or drywall or existing plumbing. A little PTFE tape and screw it in and done. Good quality finish and looks great when finished.

I'm a slightly taller than average man (6'1") and really despise having to duck under standard height showers. This extension solves that issue beautifully. It puts the shower head well above my head.The only complaint that some will have is that the shower head will almost certainly be above the curtain. This doesn't cause any splashing concerns but, if you have a small, high-velocity shower head, it does cause an odd air movement that tends to suck the bottom of the shower curtain against your legs.The remedy is, oddly, to get a larger shower head (or leave a small gap between the back wall and curtain for the air). Larger "rain" type shower heads are heavenly anyway and the slower moving but better covering water eliminates this odd quirk of physics cause by the jet being above the curtain.

Perfect solution to my need, super annoying when the water pipe comes out at eye level (and i am only 5'11). This thing takes my shower head about a quarter inch away from the light in my shower - PERFECT. Note that my shower is a basement shower, and its a little smaller on all dimensions, most people probably won't have theirs so close to the ceiling/light/fan. Simple to install, looks great, make sure you use some anti-leak white water pipe tape, good to go. I have bought two of these and used them at two different homes now highly recommend if your shower head is too low.
