Pfister 973-227J Single Function Showerhead Brushed Nickel

Product Description

The PFISTER 973-227J is a single function showerhead finished in PVD brushed nickel. PVD (physical vapor deposition) finish bonding delivers durability against tarnishing and corrosion, making it a reliable choice for residential shower installations. The 973-227J operates at a flow rate of 1.8 gallons per minute (GPM), meeting WaterSense-tier efficiency standards common in water-conscious retrofit and new construction projects. Licensed plumbers and experienced DIYers install this unit as a direct replacement or upgrade on standard shower arms. The brushed nickel finish coordinates with matching Pfister trim and valve trim collections.

The 973-227J fits standard residential shower applications. It is suited for new construction rough-ins and retrofit replacement projects where a low-flow, single-function spray pattern is specified. The showerhead connects to a standard half-inch NPT shower arm, the industry-standard thread size found in virtually all residential shower installations. It is appropriate for single-family homes, multi-family units, and light commercial restroom applications requiring a clean, consistent spray pattern with water-efficient flow.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified DIYer. Shut off the water supply to the shower before removing the existing showerhead. Apply thread seal tape to the shower arm threads before hand-tightening the 973-227J, then snug with a wrench using a cloth to protect the finish. Do not overtighten, as this can crack the showerhead inlet fitting.
