Well, someone made things work for them I guess. Actually, I understand the idea behind it. As a taller guy I have decided I will one day have one up high or out of the ceiling. Gonna try for the fancy non hillbilly look though.

I guess just removing or drilling out the flow restrictor was too complex?

Needs more duct tape.

Edit:  Also need insulation on the PVC pipe to keep the water hot on its long trip to the shower head.

Looks like the rig one of our clients put in King Fahd's private 747 back in the 1980s

Fahd was something like 6'7" and hated stooping in the shower to get wet

747s have only got so much room to work with

Yeah, it cost millions

It’s worse than that, I didn’t even glue the pipe together, just pressed everything together.

Leased rental, so everything has to go back to original when I leave.

Oh well, at least you're not out more than 5 bucks for the PVC and hook, so when it pulls out of the ceiling and coldcocks you, at least not much will be wasted.

Sometimes you have to soak showerheads in vinegar to get them unclogged and at full capacity.  Hard water

When we remodeled our main bathroom I asked the contractor to raise the pipe up 8" so I didn't have to crouch down to get under it.  It was well worth it.  We put one of those large rain head type shower head on

Weak as hell OP, it's like you weren't even trying.

If you really want to impress GD you need to install a "Suicide Shower" as seen in south and central America.

I can't say shit, I built a monstrosity out of 1/2" brass to raise the shower head in my bathroom at my parents place while I was in college. My dad saw it and got all pissed off about how it looked like shit....then proceeded to do the same to thing in his and mom's shower a week later after using it
