Can this be installed into the wall rather than on top of the wall?

I suppose it could be done but, the hand held spray unit is plumbed out under the shower unit. You also need space behind the unit to connect the water lines to the hoses. Your wall cavity would need to be deeper than that of a standard 2x4 construction. At any rate it would be a lot of work!

my plumber said that he installed others similar into the wall, actually that was the only way he new originally. We did not see any where letting a person think that it might be possible. If it is installed in the wall that would make it really hard to fix any problems that could occur in the future. He put shut-off valves on the water lines coming of the wall then center the system on the wall. My husband and I really are enjoying the unit.

I would not recommend it. The supply lines associated with the unit are plastic. If they were to leak, you would have a bigger problem. My plumber tiled and left the copper water supply out of the wall to prevent any failure from occurring. Having it installed on the outside also ensures that should you need to replace it, the new unit would not have to be the same dimensions.

I am not sure exactly what you mean, but I would certainly think you could build your wall around the unit. You wouldn't want the wall to cover it or you wouldn't be able to utilize all the jets and controls.

No. Not really. There are three main reasons for this. The first reason is that the water connection lines exit from the back of the unit. Thus, your supply lines would need to be behind the unit to make that connection. With typical 4" stud depth and considering the depth of the unit itself, there wouldn't be enough room to make this connection. Possible solution is if you wanted to drill out holes in the bottom casing of the unit and make the connection from the underside. The second reason is that the connection for the hand held water sprayer exits from the side of the unit. As such, the unit needs to be mounted on the wall for this. Possible solution for this is to box out a niche around the sprayer connection, but that isn't exactly an elegant solution. The third reason is that once the unit is mounted in the wall and sealed you would have no easy access to the back of the unit for maintenance, leak checking or troubleshooting. Access would need to be made available from the back side of the unit and depending on your wall arrangement this may not be possible. It certainly wouldn't be very aesthically pleasing onthe access side.

It is not designed to be mounted on a wall. It could probably be done but the weight needs to be supported by the base at the bottom.

It can be either surface mounted or recessed into the wall. If you want it recessed, you might have to put some more work into installing it. We had to cut out some drywall and all since our old one was surface mounted!

Yes, this unit can be mounted on the wall. I Velcroed it to the top of my TV and it works great.

No, I see no way to do that. Wall mount only unless one wanted to do some serious modifications.

Yes you can install on wall or ceiling. The hardware is provided in the package. Easy to install.

Hi! You can only install this on the wall. It is very sturdy and attractive!

No. You have to screw/drill this into the wall (using your own screws/anchors).

You could, but doubt you would want to. At best you would have to remove/replace one screw on each side - while leaving the wall mounts in place.

This device is not design to be installed on the inside of wall or regular electrical box. However electrician would most likely be able to install larger electrical box to accommodate for this switch.

vertical installation can be done, but it does not work as well. As it will sit lower on one of the knobs than the other.

Yes, you can put it in a wall, just make sure it is installed right, would work just great. Make sure you follow the installation and use lots of common sense.

You can with a couple of L brackets. Screw them into the wall and then slid the legs over, guessing it will vibrate a lot. I see now way to screw it directly to the wall however. Sorry for the vague answer.

Yes, so long as the wall thickness is not more than the maximum allowed (and even then there are ways round it).

Yes. But when we got it it didn't look great where I planned tpo put it, so my husband installed it directly into a socket. Also, we avoiding drilling into the wall by doing it that way. Looks nice and is stable. But it really is a plug in unit by design.

Yes, it can be mounted on the wall, but the tv is very heavy so I chose not to do so.

Well, it is designed to go in the wall, not on the wall. You could mount on the wall it is possible, but hen you would need to build a surround of some sort to hide the ugly sides. You need to look for one listed as a surface mount.
