I'm not sure if this is the forum where I need to post this, so feel free to move it, if needed.

Our master bath doesn't have built-in shower plumbing, so we bought a faucet that has a water re-router for a shower hose. We also bought a hand-held shower head that attaches to the hose. The mounting feature that came with the shower head is made to attach to a pipe, though. How should we mount/hang the shower head? We're totally at a loss!

Thanks for any help!

I understand how to hook the faucet to the hose and those to the shower head and the shower head to the wall mount.

I don't know how to attach the wall mount to the wall, though. It just has a place where it's supposed to attach to the pipe, but we don't have a pipe there...

hi
you have a regular shower in your bathroom??
you have the pipe coming out from the wall that the regular shower head is connected to?
its about 6 inches long and has a 35 degree bend in it and has the shower head attach to it??
most handheld shower have a faster to connect to the shower head pipe at clip to it
a pic would help

hi
go to the big lumber yard in the plumbing section and find the universal wall mounth hand held shower adapter
you could screw it to the wall or simply silicon it and tape it there in place for about 4 hrs and them you should be ok
