Can this shower be plumbed with a 3/8 water line at 40' And what is the line diameter going into the unit. I have a balanced line manifold water sys.

The unit comes plumbed with 1/2 nps connections. Not sure if your 3/8 lines will deliver the volume required. Our house is plumbed with 1/2" ID copper and the pressure is set at 72 psi. The system works great at our house. Only complaint is we run out of beer while hanging out with mister jets on. Very easy to install. We have both bathrooms with this type of fixture. The mister jets are low volume. The rain fall head is large volume. Hope this helps.

Water connections on my unit are 1/2 in. CTS (copper tubing size).Will 3/8 supplys work depends on your incoming water pressure.I have my unit plumbed 1/2 cts. If your 3/8 in. supply lines work on your existing fixtures you are going to be fine

Dear Susan, Thanks for your inquiry. The mounted stationary showerhead can be used as rain shower. For higher water pressure, you can follow the included instruction manual to remove the restrictors from both units. This system includes a standard 5 foot long stainless steel shower hose. We do have a longer one, which is 8 foot long. The model number of the longer hose is S22442CP. Hope it helps. If you have any further inquiry, please don't hesitate to contact us. Thank you. Best regards, Ana Bath Inc.

I can't answer the GPM but I can tell you the jets and shower can be ran at the same time. I want to stress to anyone buying this unit to make sure and understand the MAX pressure this unit can handle is 45 psi. That is incredibly low. If you have higher pressure the thermostatic valve will not work after about 5-10 minutes and the shower will get cold. No adjustment will change the temp. You have to shut off the valves and try again later. I was told to install ball valves to adjust the water pressure so it would work. At 45 psi using the jets and shower head together is worthless. The pressure is just too low. We built a new house and plumbed our custom tile shower for this unit and are now stuck with something that looks great but doesn't function as it should. I have had it on and off the wall replacing the valve, supply hoses, etc. I have spent hundreds to have my plumber come back to finish these things. I would look elsewhere if I were you. Maybe Hudson Reed? They have something similar that they say has a much higher PSI tolerance and can use the jets/shower head together. I'm actually leaning towards model UFG-ML711 as I think it will cover the same holes and plumbing as the Vigo

Might need the bigger size for a shower. Check the specks for flow. I remember seeing a chart that detailed the flow rate by unit.

hello robert. the lines are approx 12" long past the faucet, so approx 2-feet long. they are steel braided, 3/8" on both ends. They fit the standard bathroom shut off valve. Make sure the lines are tight at the top so you have no leaks. great water flow. very nice. hangs over the sink perfectly so the water stays in the sink. good luck...dave

I think that is too big. The large end of line that connects to the faucet is either 22 or 23 mm. I think 23 but can't be sure without going digging through my plumbing tools and checking. GMF

There are two (hot and cold) approximately 15" Long Flex Hoses which connect to plumbing with a 3/8" Compression fitting. Hope this is what you were looking for. Steve

I emailed Plumbmajic and they said >>>"this faucet is for filling the tub only, you can't add (Hand held) to this faucet. I do have different faucets that will work but do you want a shower with a riser and shower head or a faucet with a hand held shower on top? Let me know and I will send you pics.Thanks, Kathy 1-800-872-9577

I think its 3/8. I used a 90 that connected to the back of faucet and the to the old flex water linesgoing into the cut offs

The manual does not offer any plumbing recommendations. I plumbed my unit setting the 1/2" FIP hot and cold lines 22" above the floor and 3" apart. I am 6'3" tall and this height put the shower head 10" above my head. Watch door clearance if your shower door opens inward like mine (ie: higher is better). This feed line location will still offer you at least 6" variation on the actual unit height as the unit itself is connected using flex hoses. One other tip not mentioned in the manual, The temperature valve (bottom knob) has a safety feature that only lets the water get to warm. Just push the small tab on top and it then allows full hot operation (this is not documented either). The manual does not offer any plumbing recommendations.

It is 1/4, why would you want to change to 3/8? Unless you mistakenly think that it needs to be plumbed to your existing faucet? The unit has its own faucet, 1/4".

Hello Janet,There is a bracket that is included for areas that are over 40" and this bracket is what connects the two sections. If you have to connect all three sections, you have to use both brackets. They just slide into the metal shower rod. However, if you do have an area larger than 40", you may want to use a better product. This unit is good for tight spaces with very little options. Larger areas, more options, I suggest you go with a better product. Hope this helps.

The pipe is the same thread as "most" if not ALL typical shower extension pipes ....if this screws into your wall, then it will since it would be the same. "Most" (have to say most) showers have 1/2 inch NPT (national pipe thread) so its a matter of removing your current semi straight shower extension pipe and head and then screw this one in, then put your head on this one. BTW : be sure you have the clearance to swing this larger ext. pipe around but I'm guessing if you need to raise it up that's its probably pretty far from the ceiling/soffit anyway.

I have been impressed with the water pressure. I was worried when I first got them because the plastic hoses inside were kinked and small. I actually bought and installed two towers in the same shower and both have plenty of pressure when they are on at the same time. My home is plumbed with 1/2 inch copper lines and has a pressure reducer at the main line as required by code. Do not use the measurements from the online instructions to install the tower because they are incorrect. Use actual measurements from the tower before beginning plumbing installation and drilling holes in the tile.

this is a transfer valve only..needs to be removed and a pressure balanced valve installed in it's place. the piece the "plumber" put in should be installed at the out side of the pressure balanced valve to control 2 or 3 areas, i.e. shower head, body sprays, hand held sprayer or rain head. Fire your incompetent hack and get someone that knows what they are doing.

It is threaded for standard 2" Schedule 40 PVC, which is why they claim it can handle up to 2" solids. If you are looking for a sump system, I have had good results with the Wayne Home Equipment 28486-WYN1 Sewage Pump Cover, Sewage Pump Basin by Wayne Home Equipment and CHECK VALVE QUIET WHT 2" by Campbell. All of these products fit together and provide solid waste removal.

You must provide a method to pump water thru it. Either gravity or a power head or if you have a sump you can tee off the main return line. I do not have one here to measure but it is close to 3 inches in diameter.
