Need shower flange included with every arm order
Why in the world would DELTA sell a custom color shower arm and not include the same color flange. Its like buying a car and the keys are not included. Worthless!
The shower arm is GREAT quality but you missed the finishing touch! SO sad.
It is taking me days to try to find one local with no luck. Need to order one online, spend more money and wait. Locally I can get white, chrome and brushed nickel for less than $10 and online this Champagne Bronze sucker cost $18 or MORE. Come on DELTA get your act together. Include the same color shower flange with every shower arm order. They go together as a set (pair). (Shower Head NOT INCLUDED)

What is the height of the vertical piece?
Im trying to determine the clearance underneath the shower head based on a 78" height to the shower elbow on the wall where the delta shower arm threads into the wall. But I need to know the vertical dimensions. I'm looking at the Vero 1401 shower system with square rain head but again there is no vertical dimension on the prints for the T14253 head. Very puzzling that no one seems to have needed that yet.
Hi Gerald, Thank you for your question. The measurement from the middle of the horizontal pipe to the bottom of the elbow on the RP45870RB shower arm is 2.09".

What NON-rainfall shower heads can be installed with this 16” arm? I also do not want a hand-held. I want just a shower head that can be adjusted to face all the way down (at a 45 degree angle I think), parallel to shower floor (like a rain shower head).
Hi Karen786,
Thank you for your question. I am sorry this information was not readily available, and I am happy to help!
Any of our showerheads will fit this shower arm. This arm will point the showerhead directly down, parallel to the floor. An example of a showerhead with a swivel connection and four settings is model 52484-PR.
