The arm measures 6 inches in length and connects via a standard 1\/2 inch NPT threaded fitting, making it compatible with conventional shower supply rough-in. Licensed plumbers typically install this component as part of a new shower head rough-in or a fixture upgrade. The round escutcheon covers the ceiling penetration for a clean, finished appearance at the mounting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis shower arm is intended for ceiling-mount shower configurations where the water supply drops vertically from above rather than exiting a wall. It suits residential bathrooms and hotel or multi-unit applications that use a ceiling-mounted rain-style or standard shower head. The 1\/2 inch NPT thread is the standard size found in most residential water supply lines, allowing straightforward connection to existing rough-in plumbing without adapters in typical installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCeiling-mount orientation directs supply from overhead for rain-style or standard shower head configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6-inch arm length provides clearance between the ceiling surface and the shower head connection point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch NPT threaded connection matches standard residential shower supply rough-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes a round escutcheon plate to cover and finish the ceiling penetration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style ceiling-mount shower arm for residential and light commercial plumbing systems using standard 1\/2 inch NPT shower head connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC).
