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)

Can this shower arm also be used with the Dryden Collection?
Your 2011-12 catalog shows this shower arm with the Dryden Collection raincan showerhead (p. 78), but I have not found it associated with that collection otherwise. Please advise. Thank you. TN

Thank you for your question, Ashley! The RP46870 shower arm does not include the flange. Any of our flanges will work; however, we suggest either the RP46872 Arzo or the RP51034 Vero flange.

Measurement of RP46870RB
Vertical measurement is stated here at 2.09 inches from center to end of threads. What is the measurement in inches and not tenths... There are no tenths on a USA tape measure... ????
Would that be like 9& 7/8 inches ?????
2-3/32" is the nearest fractional equivalent to 2.09". On your standard USA tape measure, that is halfway between 2-1/16" and 2-1/8".

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".
Thanks,
Dave
