    To attach fixed shower head to arm
    I am having new shower fitted and I have bought a fixed shower head which is very heavy to attach to the arm. I am concerned that the arm may not be able to support the weight of the fixed shower head. Will I need extra attachment? I am fitting this to concealed triple valve system.

    Regards

    The shower arm's secured to a piece of 2 X 4 backing with a dropeared ell, (see image) that's secured by two wood screws. You shouldn't need any additional support. Good luck, Tom
