Hose adapter to fit shower head connection?
Comments (6)Thanks to both of you. I asked at Home Depot's plumbing department and I was standing right in front of it. It's a 1/2" to 3/4" adapter. I was going to list the SKU, but I lost the bag. Make sure the "gender" is right on the fittings. I hooked it up easily (you'll need to get Teflon tape and washers while you're there). I love it. It makes my watering time much easier. Not only do I not have to tie up the vanity faucet, the height of the shower arm helps keep the hose from banging on the floor and annoying my downstairs neighbors. The fitting is unpolished brass, so it's not too attractive. I found a quick connect device that you could add to the above fitting that would let you switch from the hose to a shower head instantly. http://www.plumbersurplus.com/Prod/Alsons-750-Adaptor-Chrome/10135/Cat/868 Unfortunately, you'll need to buy two. This adapter seems to be for moving a shower head from tub to tub, instead of changing what is attached to one specific shower arm. You could instead use a diverter to connect both a shower head and garden hose, but then you'd still have to deal with the hose being in the way. BTW, container girl, that store is Community Plumbing. I love that place--it's got everything. When my place was being built, I spent hours there fantasizing about what I wanted and figuring out what I could afford....See MoreCleaning the mold off the handheld shower hose
Comments (9)A little maintancnce might help... When we're finished in the shower we squeegee off the walls and dry the hand-held shower, hose and chrome fixtures with a dry microfiber towel. Keeping things dry should help you a lot. The ounce of prevention, pound of cure, kinda' thing. I'd use a mild bleach/water solution (1 qt. water and 1-2 t. bleach) for cleaning mold - spritz it on the hose, or spritz it on a cloth and wipe down the hose to clean it. If you thoroughly dry the hose after each use, you should be able to prevent much of the problem to begin with. It sounds like you must have a very humid environment... If you aren't using your ceiling vent fan during showers, that would help remove moisture; and if it's under-performing, you may want to think of replacing it with one that is capable of removing and venting the moisture. -Grainlady...See Moredeck mounted hand shower
Comments (1)I've never ran across any complaints about them. My parents have had deck mounted hand held showers for years and I don't recall any issues. I've got one waiting to be installed :) Monica...See MoreHand held shower fixture on a slide bar
Comments (14)Not all Slide bars with adjustable hand showers are grab bars. It has to say so and give the amount of weight it supports. Delta has both regular Slide bars with adjustable hand showers and adjustable slide bar/grab bars. You can buy it assembled or pick your own parts to pick the shower head you like. I liked a longer shower/grab bar and searched the Delta site for their longer grab bars and the separate hand shower mount and separate hose and elbow. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/51500 https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/51600-SS https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/51900-SS https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/56302 Separate pieces to build your own https://www.deltafaucet.com/search-results?searchTerm=grab+bars https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/U6500-RB Hand shower mount https://www.deltafaucet.com/parts-product-detail?modelNumber=U495D-SS60-PK -Hose https://www.deltafaucet.com/search-results?searchTerm=hand+shower+elbows...See MoreNancy in Mich
