in order to get this shower head to also operate as a normal overhead shower, do i need to also purchase an arm to connect the mount to?

No. Everything came in one package. All I had to do was simply connect and it worked as it shows on a picture.

Yes, as far I remember, I got the arm with cover separate, I got it from Amazon as well, and it wasn't expensive.

No.... We never use this as a hand held ... It is always in place. This is the best shower head I have ever owned. Honestly!!

No. It screws onto the shower in place of the shower head it is replacing. Your existing shower arm probably already has a flange against the wall.

Yes. I flipped mine around and attached the hoses on the bottom as it was a better angle for my setup. I had to purchase adapters because I was attaching to washing machine hoses which were attached to an outdoor sill cock on my house. I took the piece from the shower to the hardware store and the guy there made sure that I got the correct fittings. Can't wait until it get warm enough for outdoor showers again!

There are pivoting joints at each end of the arm. The shaft is able to be angled nearly completely vertical with the shower head pointed straight up at the ceiling or straight down at the floor if you want it to.

I just looked at my set up. I have the pictured shower head and we also have a hand held. I don't see anyway this would connect to my hand held shower head. There may be some that would ave a regular screw on feature like where this filter connects to the pipe from the wall but it would not work on mine as it is not set up to make that attachment.

In my opinion it doesn't need arm extention as it already has one and the head goes far enough in regular shower cabin. You can easily adjust angle of the arm and the head, so additional extension is not needed... If you're afraid that this shower head would be too heavy for your extention, I would recommend to remove your arm extention in this case...

There is no ceiling mount shower arm included. You should buy one separately. I bought a 6-inch ceiling mount. You could choose any height you like.

I did not require any special adapters, this diverter fit the typical fittings that a normal shower head uses. It screwed right in place and worked perfectly, with a little Teflon tape. Send me your email and I will send you a picture of my installation.

This is an easy one. When you attach to thw water source, you are attaching the entire unit. The hose mount for the shower head is part of the unit so it appears to me you could put it anwhere you have a threaded pipe to attach to. I looked at mine and there are several simple ways to accomplish what you want to do but when you see the shower head I'll bet tou will forget wanting two shower heads. Good luck, this is a great unit.

I would recommend a single-piece arm if at all possible. I have a double-jointed adjustable arm to raise the shower head high enough for me to use but we have a hard time keeping the wing nuts on the joints tightened. The shower head has 'flopped' down a couple of times on us since it is so heavy. I am thinking of replacing the crappy manufacturers bolts and nuts with something a little more heavy duty that I can really crank down. Hope this helps.

Yes but you will have to buy or need the regular tap to divert the water to the shower head. It can attach to the normal/existing pipe for your shower head.

I have not tried to, but you may find it challenging to provide support for the upright shower pipe. Please see the support bracket in the item picture. Also, please note that the threads on this item are European threads. You will have to buy special adapters that are not available at stores such as Lowe's or Home Depot.

This is just a shower head. You need to buy your own shower arm. You can make it any height you like!

You can buy adapters for the shower head that have a second nozzle that is capped, or you can attach a hose to it. There is a lever to switch it from regular shower to attached hose. Not real hard. I purchased one at Lowes hardware. Ask someone in plumbing, and they will direct you right to it.

No. It ships with the shower head only. I purchased separate arm extension ( from recommendations link) but that is made to connect to the short arm that comes out of the wall.

no, you have to remove and use the arm from your old unit , easy to do. or you can purchase arm

It depends. The weight of the shower head may require some wall work for proper bracing. Also id your current shower head isn't connected right at the wall, but rather inside of it, you might need a connection piece. Any parts needed are cheap, but if you need wall work that's a different story.
