Why does it say requires arm and flange? I have a typical showerhead. Can't I just unscrew my old one and screw this delta one on with tape?

Yep - use the existing one. I think it's to combat the 'derp' factor of someone buying this and not actually having a shower. *shrug*

Yes, you are right, just unscrew the old one, clean the threads and remove old tape, apply some teflon tape(I rolled 6 times) and screw the new shower head.I returned this shower head back to amazon as I couldn't stand the high pressure output. (I have very good water pressure at my home)

Yes you can. That's all I had to do. 1. Unscrew the old showerhead 2. Wrap threads in plumbers tape 3. Screw on the new showerhead. BTW, well worth every penny...probably more!

Just take your old one off and put the new one on. You should already have an arm and flange for which your shower head is now attached to. As you said, just unscrew your old one, clean threads, apply teflon tape, and screw the Delta on the arm.

I can only guess what product you're talking about. If it's a shower head, I don't know if it can fit on a Delta unit, but I believe most of these products have standard fittings.

When you get the package you have to connect the shower head to the chrome arm that extended from the panel. There are a series of pipes in the back of the panel that feed the various water outlets. I suppose you could disconnect the pipe that goes to the shower head from the arm or go directly from the arm with another pipe, but I did not study the piping in the back to know for sure if that is possible.

This showerhead has a standard female NPT (pipe thread) fitting (3/8" I belied, but I might have that wrong). Not familiar with any proprietary showerhead attachments, Delta or otherwise, so I would assume it will work for you as well, as long as you are replacing it at the plumbing stubout point, not just the head part of a larger assembly that might have proprietary parts.

I also flipped the gasket inside the silver piece around. It came with the rounded side pointing out toward the direction of where you would screw it into the shower arm. I turned it so the rounded side is pointing back into the silver part, and so the flat side is visible. I put two revolutions of tape on the shower arm and I only needed to screw on the filter hand-tight to have no leaks. The plastic part where the showerhead screws on to the filter, I did have leak though even with the tape, so I had to tighten that with a can opener (dont have a wrench lol). Once the showerhead was tightened up I've had no leaks whatsoever (yet). I also flipped the gasket inside the silver piece around.

We used ours with an Oxygenics showerhead, so you should be able to attach a Delta without problems.

I had a plumber install the Delta Faucet and he did use teflon tape when screwing it on. My plumber has always used teflon tape on any brand shower head that I have had him install.

Hi Leslie. It comes with everything you need to install. It is recommended to use plumbers teflon tape on the pipe threads. Example here --> http://img.diynetwork.com/DIY/2003/09/18/adi501_2fe_lead.jpg and here --> http://www.diynetwork.com/how-to/how-to-change-a-showerhead/index.html

No, you have to buy an arm extension. You just get the showerhead. But it works great. You will really like it.

They are separate pieces. The arm is a standard threaded pipe just like a regular shower arm. You put the flange on the arm, apply Teflon tape to the threads, screw into the shower fitting and then slide the flange back until it is flush with the wall.

If you are replacing the old shower head you just need to unscrew the old oneMy husband said the directions they sent were easy to follow. Good luck

you need a 1/2 inch iron pip threaded diverter valve that screws on to your shower arm. It will allow you to put the shower head back on and divert the water through the hand held shower as well.

I had a handy man do the installation for me. If you try it on your own, you will just need to unscrew the old shower head and screw on the new one. The little piece that came along with the shower head-it will go inside of the head. Sorry, but this is all the information i have right now. If you examine your old SH,and look at the new SH, you will find that it will be like putting a puzzle together. Let me add, even if there is just a pipe extending from your wall; the item can still be made to fit. You will just need another tube/pipe.

I don't believe you need this if you are just using the shower. I bought 2 diverters because of the way this is listed. I believe that I returned this part.

Basically you just take off the old shower head and screw in the part you see in the picture holding the sprayer arm. The only thing to remember if you haven't used pipe connections before is to use the teflon tape that comes in the box. You carefully rap it around the threads of the pipe to the connection on the spray handle. This is to prevent squirting water from the connection. And it will squirt if you don't use it. They don't give you very much teflon tape, so don't waste it. It's really easy once you see it. You will need a crescent wrench to untighten and tighten the connections. Good Luck.

I wish I could help you, but I haven't a clue. We just screwed it on after removing the other shower head. Have you tried Googling the problem?
