Author Trouble installing new showerhead
Teh Suck

2006-04-28, 5:21 pm

I bought an Aquasana shower filter and a new showerhead, the problem is that
the area on the filter where the showerhead screws into doesn't really work
with a showerhead that has a big attachment piece (which my new one does in
fact have).

Does anyone know of some kind of pipe extender that's male on one end and
female on the other, that way I can install the showerhead?

Here's a picture of the shower filter so you can see what I mean:

Thanks.

It's already bought. My friend swears by one, so I decided to give it a
try. Any idea how to solve my problem?

There are all sizes, sorts of adapters, etc. Any good hardware store or
plumbing supply store will have something. Take the thing in with you
and explain your problem to the "helpful hardware folk"

If you don't care about the appearance or finish, just pick up a
standard threaded pipe coupling and a "close nipple".

If you look around you may be able to find a chromed coupling which will
look a lot better.

Case closed...
