Product Information
Full details
The Mira-Showers Shower Arm Extension is designed for taller individuals or those seeking a more spacious shower experience. Its primary benefit is providing significant additional headroom and reach, transforming a cramped shower into a comfortable spa-like environment. A potential caveat is that while it supports larger showerheads, very heavy ones might require careful alignment to prevent any sag.

Troubleshooting
Water leak at the wall connection
Ensure the Teflon tape is applied correctly and the shower arm is screwed in tightly. Turn off the water, reapply Teflon tape, and tighten the connection.
Water leak at the showerhead connection
Check the washer inside the showerhead connection. Ensure the showerhead is screwed on tightly. Reapply Teflon tape to the shower arm's outlet threads if necessary.
Shower arm sags slightly with a heavy showerhead
Confirm the showerhead is within the 12-inch maximum size limit. Ensure all connections are tight. For very specific heavy heads, consider a support bracket if sagging is significant.
