How does this connect? If it screws in, I see the whole neck turning/screwing in like a crank. How can it always end up vertical?

You are correct, it connects to where the former 45 degree pipe was and indeed screws into the 1/2" pipe.It is well constructed and holds the weight of a rainshower head.

..mine worked like a charm, yes...it screws like a crank, you just have to tighten by feel...if you think you have enough for one more turn and the neck to end up vertical then go ahead...I knew on my last turn that it was pretty tight and that I might had enough for a one more turn but I wasn't 100% so I stopped...plumbers tape is a must obviously and so far no leaks or problems....there is no need to over-tighten....

Yes it screws like a crank. First screw it all the way in and count the turns until it stops. Do not tighten. Then wrap thread tape around end ovrr the threadsAfter applying thread tape screw it back in and stop when straight up before you reach the total amount of turns. Maybe I should back up a little. Do not use thread tape the first time you screw it in. Also, there is a technique of knowing when it starts to thread. This is done by placing the fixture straight into th brass part that is in the wall and turning to the left as if to unscrew. You will feel a clicking when the beginning threads pass each other. You can practice this technique on any nut and bolt that match. Note the clock position i.e 9 o'clock, 4 o,clock etc. This will be your starting point for counting how many turns in before stopping. So if it starts clicking at 9 o,clock when turning left it will click every time at 9 o,clock if you keep turning left. And if it stops after three full turns and turning to the 3 o,clock position then it went in three and a half turns. So after turning three turns with the thread tape on be sure to stop at 12 o,clock that time around. If you go past and back off the thread tape may not seal. The thread tape creates the seal. Backing off may create a leak in your wall. Remove the fixture and all the thread tape and screw in again if you go to far. I usually apply three or four layers of thread tape and pull it till it breaks. Also, the tape should be wrapped in the oppisite direction of screwing rotation so that the end of the tape cannot be caught up an unwind while screwing in the fixture. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

It just did for me. I might have had to make it a little tighter to get the last few degrees.

It may seem like it is locked in place, but once mounted it will swivel quite well......it needs to be broken in so to say....mine was tight but now it is fine....well worth the price. If this is not the case and yours is defective, just return it....but I think you will be fine once you have it installed and begin using it. GC

Yes, the neck moves and you can angle it in multiple different directions. I purchased one to start. It works well so I purchased two more. Definitely worth it!

It screws in but be very careful because can easily screw through the ceramic bowtie. I DID!!. Didnt order another one went with something else. Now my chevy bowtie looks cool.

There are many kinds of machine heads can work on this neck. Here is the link of mine:

Threaded connection. It slips on then your turn those threaded closure knobs.

Just a reminder, to tighten you need to turn it counter clockwise. Normally it's righty tighty, but not in this case-turn left to tighten. I tried to put it on by turning it right, but realize the error of my ways.

It goes all the way in by spinning upside down 180 degrees to tuck in neatly and out of the way. Just be careful when screwing it all together - the holes didn't all align perfectly. Other than that, it works fine and I stand on it all the time in my kitchen or use it for an extra chair

I thought she meant for the inversion table. No idea for this. I think the screws might come out on somebody big. Unless you have already gotten into inversion. I recommend beginning with inversion table. Getting upside down on this on your own can be pain and very awkward if you have not used to being upside down.

Thank you Al, I had the same problem. Use both hands and twist in opposite directions - and keep twisting until it coils right up.

Leafslinger, You're right, turning the headphone so the arm piece is all on the bottom like a bowel & then turning it a 1/4 turn clockwise works best. I had been "screwing" it on with tiny back/forth movements.

You might be putting it together incorrectly. The longer incline should be toward the open part of the connector and the back of the contact has a much smaller tooth that snaps when the contact is pushed in all the way. This small tooth hooks over the front edge of that flat spring that is part of the connector body (there should be an obvious sharp click when it snaps over that front edge). The only things I can think of that would interfere with the connectors mating would be 1) the contact pushed in upside down so it doesn't latch over the front edge of the spring, or 2) the contact not pushed all the way in from the back so it is laying on top of the spring instead of being latched over the front edge of it. You might also have to press the spring down a little from the front of the connector to get the contact to slide in from the back when the contact is right side up. Good luck.

The long neck one pointing up. One or two bolts holding. Sometimes comes with wiring harness.

I bought this for my father and I know nothing about it but i think it hooks on the belt so that you open at top (vertical). Sorry i cant help more. I can ask him if you still need more info.

I purchased the exact same stand and would be happy to help you. I believe the base came intact (at least I think I remember it that way). The square pole with the turning handle on it attaches to the stand with the handle toward the top of the post. The long side of the 90 degree pole slides down into the pole with the turning handle. The turning handle is used to tighten and hole the 90 degree pole. The neck loop attaches to the ring at the top of the 90 degree pole. I found the base a little stiff to turn once it was all put together but I think that's better than having it too loose. I hope these instructions are helpful. Good luck and have fun!

Hi Holly. I don't think the turning mechanism will get in the way because the bearings are away from the center, but, the middle part is what holds the turntable together and still turn so I think you would be taking a chance on it still working. As the previous commenter said, contact the manufacturer, tell them what you want to do, and see what they have to say about it. Best Wishes!
