Is this rated for shower installations?

It is rated for Wet indoor/outdoor applications. I installed four of them in a shower with no issues.

It's for an existing shower to allow more elbow room, I used it in our travel trailer and am very satisfied. It doesn't stand up by itself, it needs to be mounted on something that is very sturdy. It's not light and is not for use free standing.

It is supposed to be. I shower with mine on all the time and have never had an issue.

Yes, it is. But it is made very well. I had that same shower in my other house before and it lasted a long time. Although, the life of all of these fixtures depends on how hard the water in your house really is.

Yes I bought it for my standard shower and me and my wife actually love it it is working great we had bought another Before and it went out rather quick... All I used was simple thread tape screwed it on and its working perfect still.

Go to the website of the company and look up the shower model name. The install instructions are in the website.

I would not use it in the shower. you do not want the electrical part (small motor) get too wet

By design, I wouldn't suggest this in a shower. Just outside the shower shouldn't be a problem, but it needs to be secured by tension from floor to ceiling and I fear it might crack your tub/shower with continued pressure. Plus, as you mentioned, it is metal so it will likely rust due to a few holes where residual water will enter and collect. Hope this helps.

We installed in an efficiency apt. which has a shower and sink. But I guess it would depend on how long you took a shower or ran water in the sink.

Yes, it can be. I have 2 in the bathroom. One is mounted directly in the shower. When you mount it directly in the shower you need to put it on a GFI circuit as recommend by the mfg or install a GFI circuit breaker to cover everything on the circuit if you don't want to wire it separately.

You will want to confirm with an electrician as I am not sure if the devices is sealed to prevent steam from entering. Typically there are specific fixtures for shower applications

No, it provides a steady shower effect. It's a very nice unit, worth the money for sure.

I don't think it's actually rated for wet locations, but I installed mine over the bathtub which is not enclosed and it has been fine. I'd recommend you go to the manufacturers website at http://www.build.com/globe-electric-90057/s871732 , click on the "Question" link and ask them.

I assume it is damp rated - we have two of these fixtures in our master bathroom.

I think it is better install it aside your shower (I did it this way) for safty concern and to avoid potential building code violation.

I'm not a plumber, but whatever the standard for a regular shower should work in this application
