FAQs

What type of shower head is recommended for this arm?

This shower arm is ideal for fixed shower heads, particularly rainfall or overhead shower heads, due to its ceiling mount design and 300mm length.

Does this product include a shower head?

No, the shower head is sold separately. This product is the shower arm only.

What is the finish of the shower arm?

The finish is a brushed pewter, described as a soft satin-metallic glow.

What material is the shower arm made from?

It is manufactured from high-quality, corrosion-resistant brass.

How do I clean and maintain the brushed pewter finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can I use this shower arm with a wall-mounted shower head?

This arm is specifically designed for ceiling mounting and is not intended for wall mounting applications.

Is professional installation required?

Professional installation is recommended due to the in-ceiling plumbing connections and waterproofing requirements.

Troubleshooting

Leaking at the ceiling connection

Ensure the seal between the arm and the ceiling is watertight. If the leak persists, the connection to the water supply pipe may need professional attention.

Shower head is not aligned correctly

Check that the shower arm is securely fastened to both the ceiling pipework and the shower head. Ensure no debris is preventing a flush fit.

Finish appears dull or discolored

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners. If discoloration is significant, it may indicate mineral buildup or damage to the finish.

Low water flow from the shower head

This is likely an issue with the shower head itself (e.g., clogged nozzles) or the main water supply pressure, not the shower arm. Clean the shower head's nozzles.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Constructed from durable and corrosion-resistant brass.
  • Elegant brushed pewter finish offers a sophisticated look.

  • Ceiling mount design contributes to a clean, modern aesthetic.
  • Part of a wider range for creating a consistent bathroom theme.

Cons

  • Shower head and other brassware must be purchased separately.
  • Requires ceiling installation, which may involve more complex plumbing.
  • The 300mm length might be too long or short depending on shower enclosure size and personal preference.
  • Specific to Balterley's aesthetic, may not fit all bathroom designs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This shower arm is designed for ceiling installation. It typically connects to the shower's main water supply pipework within the ceiling cavity and requires a waterproof seal where it passes through the ceiling. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper sealing and connection to the water supply. The shower head then screws onto the threaded end of the shower arm.

Compatibility: This shower arm is designed to work with most standard shower heads that have a compatible inlet thread (usually 1/2" BSP). It is specifically recommended for use with Balterley fixed shower heads and other Balterley brassware for a cohesive look.

Care: To maintain the brushed pewter finish, clean the shower arm regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water, then dry with a soft cloth.
