Can this be connected directly to the outlet without a flexible hose? I do not like the hand shower head feature where you can take it off and hold it

I don't think this would work that way. The angle would be wrong, with the spray pointing upwards. If you have some kind of anti-gravity gizmo in your bathroom, it might work for you though. Seriously, it's designed for connection to a flexible hose. Look elsewhere if you're not going to use one.

I'm so sorry, but I can't help you with this. My husband is disabled and needed this type of shower with the hose and someone else installed it. Sorry I can't be of help. Sonia

This model is the handheld version. You will want just the shower head without the long, shaped handle. Search for KOHLER K-15996-CP Flipside 01 Showerhead (and buy the shower arm & flange, too) and I think you will have what you need for wall mounting.

No but it is still the best shower assy I have seen. I used this device at a base where we stay regular. The best thing about it is the hose it is nice and flexable. Most shower heads come with very stiff hoses.

Yes - there is a valve at the base next to the wall that has 3 position - You can switch it from Shower head only to hand held only or both..

It can definitely replace your hand held shower head. Just unscrew the old shower head and screw the new one onto your existing hose.

No reason why it can't be. It is set up for a shower hose to be connected to the outlet that is why the outlet is pointing up.

hmmm....ours is screwed on shower head outlet as pictured. We really like it and use in lieu of regular shower head. Great pressure and several spray patterns. Sorry to not be of more help.

It really does not matter. You can hook one end to the outlet and the other end to shower head. Just make sure you tighten both so no leakes,

Yes - there is a hose bib in the back for your hose. That works - mine had a small drip (leak) but could have put it in the shower with no trouble. However I don't use it that way as I don't like to leave it unattended for days. This thing really works though!

You install the hose ( parts included )And there is a switch to change from hose to shower head. So yes the hose remains attached unless you want unassembled it every time you use the shower head, which is why they included the handy switch.

yes it can be removed. also hand held shower also adjustable. There is not much pressure on hand held shower head. I hope this will help you make your decision.

There is a convient sliding water control valve on the shower head itslef. Water flow can be easily controlled with one hand. On mine it will turn pretty much off when closed all the way.

Whether or not you can reach the hand held shower is dependent upon how high your shower head is. If it is too high to reach, you can always purchase an extender pipe, but I doubt you will need it.

Yes you will have to disconnect all plumbing. Yes you can use flexible hose although I recommend union fittings at all connections that will need to be removed eventually for maintenance purposes, such as changing sand.

I believe that all of the others have answered your question and I agree with them. I mounted ours directly to the wall outlet as pictures and we both love it that way. As already stated, you could use a "Y" outlet and do a dual mount, but that is really a great shower head and works great both ways. Why waste the time and $$? Try it the way intended and then, if you do not like it (which I doubt) look at the other options. (Bet you don't do them.)

Only the shower head that mounts on the pipe coming out of your wall, not the one that is hand held. If you don't want to use hand held, Homedepot sells cap for it then you can block it.

I got a hand held shower attachment for mine. The diverter is actually for the shower ring on the clawfoot tub. I'm sure if you wanted to plug it off you can find find one at the hardware store.
