do I need a shower arm with it? Do I need to buy a shower arm seperately to install it?

If where you plan to install it has an arm, then No. If all you have is a wall or ceiling outlet, then Yes. Coming from our wall was an arm that bends roughly 45 and I simply connected it to the threads. Did not even require teflon tape.

My guess is that you will need more than one shower rod set. But I am not the expert. It worked exceptionally well for my space and was easy to install, but if you need more than what is in the package, you may need another one.

No, you have to buy the square wall piece separately. The water pressure is excellent. We haven't taken out the flow restrictor and the pressure is still very good. The only down side to this handheld shower is that the shape is somewhat uncomfortable to hold in your hand. Looks great and works great, though.

I had no problem installing the handheld shower. The pipe for the shower water source is standard and required no modification.

No shower head necessary, it screws onto the pipe that attaches to your existing shower head. Don't forget to use teflon tape so it doesn't leak.

This is my second shower bench chair in well over 10 years. I keep the handrail against shower wall. I would not use the chair without the handrail because I feel it is a safety factor, in case I need a hand hold. There plenty room for in the shower chair in the bath tub. Remember if you need the chair you need the handrail, no doubt in my mind. I hope this helps.

It is included. We were installing our shower from scratch, and this had everything we needed to do that. We've had it for a while, and it works quite well.

I gather you meant is a separate installation kit needed? The answer is no. It comes with everything you need.

This model is the handheld version. You will want just the shower head without the long, shaped handle. Search for KOHLER K-15996-CP Flipside 01 Showerhead (and buy the shower arm & flange, too) and I think you will have what you need for wall mounting.

Handy man installed in an existing shower. I didn't see how the bar was attached but access behind the wall was not needed.

Yes you can use a different arm. The arm and the shower head comes as a set. Overall is a great looking design set and have them on my both showers.

I don't think so. You need a shower arm for this shower head. This mount is for handheld showerheads. It looks like the handle you want to buy screws directly into a shower arm that is hooked directly into your plumbing.

yes, you have to purchase an installation kit. requires 2 people to install also. after seeing how much work was required i returned it. got a roll of the of the kind with adhesive already on it. easy and pretty

Without the arm, the shower head will essentially be flush against the wall. If you want the "rain effect" you'll need the arm as it extends the shower head to be directly overhead. I bought one for my new apartment and it has been life changing. So I say go for it! Easy to set up and I'll be taking it with me to my next place.

From your description, it sounds like you have a diverter attached to your shower arm (the curved bar that comes out of your wall) and that one is going to your shower head and the other going to a hand shower with a shower hose, which is the most common setup when you want shower head and hand shower combined. Does it have a knob or lever that lets you switch between the two? See if it looks anything like these: http://www.amazon.com/U4922-PK-Universal-Showering-Components-Handshower/dp/B0064TXLHA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397325994&sr=8-1&keywords=shower+diverter http://www.amazon.com/Danze-D481350BN-2-Inch-Diverter-Brushed/dp/B002BSHSE0/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1397326036&sr=8-4&keywords=shower+diverter If so, then it should be fine. These shower heads fit the standard threaded 1/2 inch shower arms.

Yes, but you will need to change shower arm - we used Delta RP61273 Addison 15-Inch Shower Arm, Chrome: Love it! Great shower.
