hansgrohe Installation 16-inch Modern Rain Shower Showerarm in Chrome, for Wall Mount Showerhead, 27413001

exactly as described, easy to install. heavy piece with good quality construction. It is oblong and amazon insists on shipping it in a large box with a shower head (had two sets shipped on different occassions). Poor packing on their part resulted in one box likely being mangled by the shipper, as it was awkward to pick up, one side was so much heavier that it was easy to mishandle. But, that's on the shipper from what I could tell primarily, and amazon secondly, the product itself is well worth the price.

My hands were trembling as I bought what seemed like the world's most expensive tube. I was praying that the product would reveal itself to be worth the money when I got it.I was very happy with this product. The tube must weigh two pounds. It has immaculate finish and very high-quality machining. It also has a rubber O-ring on it to stop leaks. I am sold. It was a lot of money, but have faith... the extra cost seems justified in the quality. It's like the high-end BMW of shower tubes. The tube also came with the escutcheon plate. (It's not very large diameter, but also very well made).If you want quality, look no further.

what much is there to say about an expensive shower arm? I don't really know, but i can tell you that it matches the hansgrohe brushed nickel from the other hansgrohe products. it's heavy, so i suppose that's good as well. the best thing i can say is that i got it from amazon warehouse deals...i love them...same product, messed up packaging, and you get it super cheap. i want to buy almost exclusively from them for all of my home furnishing needs because the deal was so good. Also, I looked everywhere, lots of cross comparisons looking to find the cheapest price, and this was it. Couldn't find anything cheaper for the same product anywhere on the net. so, buy with confidence. it's a shower arm, not a ekg machine!

I just purchased the shower head, and naturally, purchased the arm to match in appearance and quality. However, the arm came completely scratched up (see picture). For the cost, I expected much better packaging and care in shipment. It is heavy duty though! Just not enough to withstand damage :(

This seems like it's pretty costly, considering that it's a simple 15" chromed pipe (imagine how expensive your home's plumbing would be if you have to pay this same rate per linear foot for all your in-wall piping!). I also can't help but notice that the 6" Hansgrohe shower arm costs 20% as much of the 15" arm, but it's 40% of the size. On the other hand, this arm is strong and made of solid brass, and Hansgrohe is a good company. In summary I GUESS I'm glad I bought it instead of a cheaper model? Compared to the total price of renovating our bathroom, the cost of this pipe wasn't a big deal - I got really good deals on some other things so I guess they philosophically cancel out.Just remember that if you're rebuilding your shower to install, or ask your plumber to install, a drop ear elbow (or similar) in the wall to ensure that the whole assemblage doesn't sag or droop. That sort of thing easily can happen if you're trying to retrofit an existing shower that wasn't designed for the combined weight of the arm, the head, and the water that fills them while in use.

So first, Amazon - awesome. The price is about the same every where, no discounts unless you purchase discount brands. My shipment was schedule to be delivered in 2 fast days but it got hung up by UPS with no further updates. When I contacted Amazon, I got a reply by email in just a couple hours with possible solutions. I needed the part to install with a new shower head (Hansgrohe 27474821 Raindance 240 Air Shower Head, 10-Inch, Brushed Nickel) so they shipped me a new one overnight. I really appreciate the customer service at Amazon.Ok, so the product. Easy to install. I was replacing a shorter arm that was also a brushed nickel Hansgrohe arm so it was particularly easy. You want to be careful not to scratch the finish, so here are some easy steps:1. Remove the old head first - Mine twisted off, but I was prepared with an adjustable crescent wrench - not the kind with jaws you squeeze as those will mar the finish.2. Stick a screwdriver into the open arm end and use some light force to twist the arm until it comes off. Righty tighty, lefty loosey.3. Insert the flange on the end of the new arm then do the screwdriver trick again (don't forget a generous amount of teflon tape) and tighten very well. Push the flange against the wall.4. Flush some water through it, just to make sure its clear of debris.5. Teflon tape the threads and install new arm, tightening with the crescent wrench at the notched part.Nice and easy project. If you find the arm is too wobbly, spray a bit of Great Stuff expanding foam (or similar) into the hole after installing the arm to stabilize.It's a nice looking arm. Expensive, yes - but if you're using their head as well you might as well shell out a bit more for the matching arm.

Product is as advertised.

The flow and fit is great and we have not had any leakage. Highly recommend.
