Ever feel like your adjustable shower head is NOT adjustable enough? Do you have an issue with water spraying the back of your shower wall instead of you?
Or maybe you're struggling with your rainfall shower head height not being adjustable enough to get that true overhead rain shower experience. This issue is not uncommon, and usually due to the limitations of the pivot balls in adjustable shower heads.
Fortunately, you do no have to replace your existing shower head! A very simple solution to this problem is adding a shower head swivel ball adapter, like the one in this video:
It will increase the height and angle of your shower head pivot ball, getting the water exactly where you want it.
Increase Adjustable Shower Head Height & Angle
This part easily attaches between your shower arm pipe and your shower head, increasing the degree of the angle in your adjustable shower head.
It not only works great for any adjustable handheld shower head, but especially an adjustable rainfall shower head.
If you're using a standard shower arm and your rain shower head doesn't angle far enough down for a true rainfall effect, this will get you that extra adjustability to position the spray for a directly downward flow.
All Metal Shower Head Swivel Adapter
This is HammerHead's shower swivel ball adapter which is made from solid brass. It comes in chrome, brushed nickel, oil rubbed bronze, and matte black:
We've also designed it with an adjustable tightening ring so even if you're using a heavy shower head, like our all-metal shower heads, you can tighten this ring down to increase the tension in the pivot ball, ensuring it won't sag or droop:
How To Install A Shower Head Swivel Ball Adapter
A swivel ball adapter is super easy to install – no plumbing experience or tools required! Get ready to see just how much more adjustable your shower head pivot ball will be as a result.
We'll start with our standard shower head installation routine:
1) Remove the old shower head.
2) Clean the shower arm by removing any debris and plumber's tape.
3) Reapply new thread seal tape.
4) Hand tighten the swivel ball adapter onto the shower arm threads.
5) Use a pair of soft grip pliers to give it another extra turn. (You can also use an adjustable wrench but make sure to protect the fitting with a cloth so it doesn't get scratched.)
6) Apply some thread sealant tape to the male threads on the swivel ball adapter.
7) Install your shower head.
8) Last but not least, run some water through it and test for leaks.
Should you have any issues with the shower head or swivel adapter leaking, you'll want to uninstall it, reapply thread seal tape, and use pliers or a wrench to firmly tighten it down.
