Q&A

is there an installation guide?

We put in two of these showerheads. One rotates very nicely and one spins around loosely. What is causing it to spin?
Asked by: Campbell
Hi, Campbell! Thank you for your question. There may be a defect in the ball joint of the shower head. Please contact us on our customer service line at 1(800)345-3358 and we would be happy to assist you further. Best Regards, Rosanna

Does the RP62955 series come with a pivotal connection on top of the showerhead?

Does the RP62955 series come with a pivotal connection on top of the showerhead? Does the RP53496 series come with a pivotal connection on top of the showerhead? Does the 57740 series come with a pivotal connection on top of the showerhead? If yes, what is the maximum angle of tilt for each series? Is the only difference between 57740 and RP53496 the 16" arm and flange included in 57740? Does Delta have any 8" showerheads that require less than 2.5 gpm? If yes, what the product numbers? Does Delta have any 8" showerheads that are multi settings? If yes, what the product numbers?
Asked by: georgeHawaii
Thank you for your questions. All of our showerheads come with a pivotal connection on top of the showerhead. They do tilt but it varies depending on the showerhead. The only difference between Delta Faucet model # 57740 and RP53496 is that the shower arm and flange are included in the 57740. We do not manufacture at this time any 8 inch showerheads that are less than 2.5 gpm at 80 psi. We do manufacture one 8 inch round showerhead that has 3 settings, including massage spray, full spray with massage, and full body spray. It is Delta Faucet model # 52680.

Does this item mount on any type of arm that swivels so I can move it to an angle to avoid getting my hair wet then have it straight down when I do want to wash my hair? I prefer not to put in a rain head, a regular shower head and a hand held. Thanks

Asked by: Pamela6072
Thank you for your question, Pamela6072! This could be mounted on any shower arm with a standard 1/2" connection. We have an adjustable shower arm that may help, model number UA902-PK. https://www.deltafaucet.com/bathroom/product/UA902-PK Best regards, Jon

Can this showerhead be mounted on the wall (I.e., like a traditional shower head)?  Will the R10000-unws work for this shower head?

Geauxjeff, Thank you for your question! We recommend using the shower head with a ceiling mount 90 degree shower arm such as the RP46870 and RP51034. You may install it on a standard shower arm. https://www.deltafaucet.com/parts-product-detail?modelNumber=RP46870 The R10000-UNWS rough-in valve can be used with any 13/14, 17, or 17T series Delta trim kit and will allow you to use this shower head.

Can this shower head be mounted directly to the overhead tile, or does it have to be on a nipple. I would like to flush mount it overhead.

Model RP53496
Asked by: Mike
Hi Mike, Thank you for your question. The model RP53496 showerhead can be mounted flush with the tile but you will still need the pipe nipple to hook up the water supply to the showerhead. Thanks, Dave

Hello, Is the top connection fixed or a ball joint? If it is a ball joint, are there any known issues of leaking from the ball joint? I'm curious as to how this can provide a "full body spray" when the unit is only 7 11/16' square? Thank-you

Asked by: Bill
Thank you for your question, Bill! There are no known issues with the ball joint we use but all Delta shower heads will come with a lifetime limited warranty to the original owner. The term "full body spray" is a spray setting that provides the most coverage possible in regards to the size of the shower head without restrictions. Best regards, Edward

Can this shower head be mounted in the ceiling?

Asked by: nmasem104
Hello Nmasem104, Thank you for your question. When using the Delta Raincan Shower Head RP53496 you will need to screw it on the pipe coming down from your ceiling. You will need a 1/2 threaded pipe in your ceiling and the shower head will screw onto it. It is up to you how far it sticks down from the tile. Best regards, Tanya
