    Directly overhead rain shower pipe that's crooked.
    I had a contractor that installed an overhead rain shower that isn't straight. I can adjust the shower head itself so that the water comes down straight but the pipe coming out of the ceiling directly overhead is still crooked. Is there any way to correct? An offset pipe? It's probably 20 degrees off. The pipe itself is polished chrome and extends out of the ceiling probably 6-8 inches. IT'S A STRAIGHT PIPE.

    You could buy a couple 1/2" chrome elbows and some close chrome nipples and you should be able to straighten the mess out within reason...

    Let me know what you think...

Connect MIP CPVC directly to FIP shower inlet [ 1 Answers ]

Is it safe to connect MIP CPVC directly to the FIP shower inlet? The previous homeowner had done that when finishing the basement. I'm in the process of redoing some of it, but was a bit concerned after a trip to Lowe's. I saw that the MIP CPVC adapter said "cold water" where as the CPVC to...
