Can the arm be removed so the housing can be mounted to a soffit using a threaded pipe?

Yes, if you look closely on the Foscam website, you'll see that the dome attaches to the arm with three screws much like a bathroom light fixture, there's a recess in the arm that locks/retains the screws. You'd need to make your own water tight seal to use a rod/pipe mounting, but I would simply drill the pipe with a large enough hole to allow the screws to bite and then chalk around the joint well. http://foscam.us/products/dome-enclosure.html (roll over to zoom in)

Thank you for your interest in this item. This can be mounted with a ceiling arm, but is recommended to have an arm.

If you're trying to remove threaded pipe, remember you want to get the extractor far enough in the pipe while leaving about 1/3 to 1/4 of the total length exposed so you can get a good bite with the strong part of the extractor. However if the pipe is thin walled, you could possibly collapse the inside pipe.

Yes, just unscrew it or don't attach it in the first place. This can be purchased without the arm part.

The unit has both internal and external thread so that it it can be screwed "on to" or "in to" the pipe coming from the wall. Of course you would have to remove the existing shower head to do so and a small (6") pair of channel locking priers will help but shouldn't be too hard to do.

May be. You can definitely install it that way. There appears to be a part that limit the range that the spray arm can rotate. Logically, this should be selectable or adjustable during installation. A contractor installed mine so I don't know for sure. I hope this helps.

Yes. You will need to remove the upper portion of support column and substitute the supposed extension piece. I have mine mounted in a 5'6" tall location. You will not find this modification in any Simple Human instruction. I made no permanent modification to unit. The spring will not compress enough! Don't even try!! If you start cutting it with a hack saw, you will certainly void warranty and most likely destroy the unit. Again, no permanent modification required! I still have original upper arm in case I ever want to move the location of unit. I figure this thing is going to last for years! Yes.

No not that I can see, the rod is crimped into the hanging bracket, it would be tough to remove it without damaging the rod or bracket.

I suppose if you had a long enough extension cord you could cut the soffit. Aluminum is so soft, this cutter woul go right through it.

Yes, Remove the caps top and bottom of the arm nearest the center pillar for the one arm, you do not want to use. Use the Allen Key they supply to loosen and remove the bolt and nut plus the top and bottom washers-put on one side in a Zip-lock bag and refit later. Very easy.

It's difficult to measure exactly, since my arm is mounted at about 79", but it appears it would be very tight, very little clearance if all you have is 5.5" to the ceiling from the pipe feed. It would be difficult to tighten easily if it did just fit, since threading by using the elbow is easiest. The Moen version of the shepherds hook style gives an even greater rise, over 6". You would likely be better off with a Water-Pick style jointed arm that you can adjust to fit best.

Yes, when the table clamp is removed you will be left with a set bar that is a part of the arm. There is no built in solution for permanent mounting.

Yes, my plumber was able to get it mounted straight. I took some adjusting but it is possible.

You can remove the outer brackets, but the top horizontal arm has to stay if you want to use the center mount.

Yes! Mine was the same way. Go to Home Depot or another home improvement type store and purchase a 90 degree 3 or 4 inch(depending on your size clean out pipe) elbow plumbing fixture. You will also need the male threaded connector to fit your original opening and the female thread connector for the doggie doo drain. Some pvc glue and that's it. Its very simple.... This will then allow you to mount the Doggie Doo drain in an upright position. See picture here (copy and paste this link) - http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb417/rb404/SAM_0034_zps5c8ff231.jpg

You have it hooked up backwards. I am not sure this is possible unless you have flexible moveable pipes.

You can just not mount the entire arm and just have a rotating platform, or you can remove the part above the tightening knob as needed and just have the part of the arm below the tightening knob.
