I was thinking of adding the Moen Annex system so we could have both the shower head and the hand attachment on a bar. My question is this, is it a code certainty that our shower has this and it's removable.
The Annex system requires this "arm" to be removed. My fear is that mine of not removable. It's original to the home so which ever way saved the builder a .05 cents was the way he'd go if not a code requirement.
There is a 99% chance that your existing shower arm is removable.
The fitting used in the wall is called a drop ear elbow.
It's securely fastened (or should be) and the arm screws in to it.
You may be able to see the fitting by sliding the escutcheon away from the wall in your shower.
You're hoping it's well fastened as you will be pulling on that pipe now.
Thank you Pjmax! That helps a lot. I wouldn't have started turning the arm counterclockwise without some idea if it threaded vs soldered though in hindsight, it should have occurred to me that you can't solder a chromed pipe....or can you?
I'll order up an Annex system and probably come back with other questions. Thanks again.
Well I got the supply line off (previous post).
No place carries an exact replacement supply line.
Kohler sent out a new faucet.
What do I have to do to get this old faucet off. Tried turning the round part from underneath, with no luck. Any suggestions? 3rd picture is the top side with the handle off.
