Rated 1 out of 5 by from Great shower head! I highly recommend it! I love this shower head, it distributes the water with pressure and evenly. I liked it so well I gifted to my son and his wife.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from High pressure...not so much I was looking for a shower head that would be comparable to my 15 year old Price Pfister rain shower head that broke. This one was the closest I could find to having the same specs (3 settings, 2.5 gpm flow, and size). However, I was pretty disappointed, in that the pressure doesn't live up to what I was expecting. It is better than the other 4 or so that I tried, however.

Complicated Question...RE: swapping out Model 142710-SS to New Shower Arm + Head

Hello! I have the Delta 142710-SS unit in our new master shower. We have been advised to swap the arm and shower head due to the water shooting on our new shower doors. We want to try to eliminate the amount of water hitting it. Can we switch the arm out to RP61273-SS? And put shower head 52680 or 52687 on the new arm? Can we do this with the existing model we have (142710) and will either of those shower heads work with the new arm size? Please advise...many kind thanks!!
Asked by: jag
Thank you for your question, Jag. Either showerhead you have listed or the original showerhead that comes with the 142710-SS will work with the RP61273SS shower arm. Note that the In2ition showerhead that comes with the 142710-SS-I will not work with the RP61273SS. Best regards, Jon

Asked by: Donna
Hi Donna, Thank you for your question! You can use this shower head with any of our shower trim kits. With the model T17T053-SS, you will also need an R10000 rough-in valve, a shower arm (RP6023SS), and flange (RP6025SS). Best regards, Jon

how would this shower head be installed from the ceiling? What part would I need to purchase?

Asked by: Melissa
Thank you for your question Melissa. The 52680-RB shower head is designed to work with 1/2" IPS male threads and does not require other parts in order to install. This would also work with longer shower arms such as the Arzo 16" shower arm if installing pipe through the ceiling is not an option. I will include a link to this shower arm below. https://www.deltafaucet.com/parts-product-detail?modelNumber=RP46870 Best regards, Edward

What is the diameter, in inches, across the face of the showerhead?

The dimensions as listed on your website are 8-5/32 in. H x 4-11/16 in. D x 8-5/32 in. W. I assume the width measurement is actually the diameter but there is no way this shower head is 8+" high and wide unless you stand it so the joint where water comes in to the showerhead is parallel to the surface it's on.
Asked by: Dennis
Hi Dennis, Thank you for your question! The diameter of the face on the 52680 is 8". Best regards, Brandis

Is the 52680 made of plastic?

Asked by: ineedanewlook
Hi, ineedanewlook! Thank you for your question. The Delta 52680-CZ shower head is non-metallic. All of our current shower heads are non-metallic. This helps prevent heat transfer that could result in scalding and reduce weight. Non-metallic parts are also beneficial in that they do not rust or corrode. Please know that all of our products are tested to ensure long-lasting use and have a Lifetime Limited Warranty. Best Regards, Rosanna

When installed on the wall, does this shower head allow for position adjustments?

I.e. is there a swivel mechanism to slightly adjust the angle left/right? Most wall-mounted showers usually allow for slight position changes, but I can't tell if this one does.

We are thinking of buying this 8" raincan model #52680, but am concerned since several folks stated they had issues with only 2 of 3 settings working. Is this still a problem? Thank you, Ann P

Asked by: Ann P
Thank you for your question, Ann P! This is not a typical issue but rather a failure to perform a flush of the valve or shower arm to remove any debris before installing this shower head. The debris then gets inside the unit and can hinder the mode selector. Please know that all Delta shower heads are covered under the lifetime limited warranty and simple, occasional maintenance will help avoid this issue. Best regards, Edward

What shower arm would you recommend for this shower head?

My husband would like to replace our Chrome finish Delta 14 Series fixtures with Bronze finish. We currently have a spray shower, but would like to replace with this shower head. We will need to buy both a shower arm/flange in addition to the shower head. What arm would you suggest for ease of install and best performance with this particular shower head? Will Model # RP6023 work and does the shower head itself tilt or is it fixed on the arm? Thank you!
