10 Best Shower Head Extensions In 2023

If you want a sleek and straightforward shower arm, this is your best fit. The design of the Raindance showerhead extension places it close to the wall. This product we tested also swivels left and right at a right angle bend, and it has an 8-inch vertical lift.

Raindance has an escutcheon plate that makes the installation process easy while adding to the aesthetic appeal of your shower. The plate also makes the shower arm more stable, gives it a cleaner and more professional finish, and the rounded base is excellent for tall users.

This German brand also comes with a warranty for any essential repairs or replacements you might need in the future. The arm is made of solid brass and is of excellent quality and superior engineering.

You can add to the appeal of this shower arm by brushing it with a gleaming chrome or nickel coating. However, it will feel awkward to lift your hand so that you can adjust the showerhead arm unless you are tall since it has a 10.5-inch vertical and a 15-inch reach.

Additionally, the right angle on the arm gives you limited showerhead options. Besides, when purchasing a showerhead for this arm, you have to ensure it is narrow enough not to bump the shower arm or wall.

You’ll also have to contend with the fact that the shower arm weighs over 3 pounds, which means it is heavy.

The Hansgrohe Raindance Shower and the AquaDance 7″ Premium High-Pressure Shower Head Extension are two different types of showerheads. The Hansgrohe model features a rain showerhead design, while the AquaDance model is a high-pressure showerhead extension. Meanwhile, the AquaDance 7″ Premium High-Pressure Shower Head Extension and Hanebath Brass Shower Arm are both showerhead extensions.

For the most versatile shower head in the market, go for the AquaDance shower arm. One, it can support both the flexible and the wall-mounted showerheads, even if they weigh 3 pounds. Two, it is viable for use in indoor and outdoor bathrooms.

Three, it has knobs on each side to allow for adjustment. Lastly, it comes with a 10-inch extender that can swivel up and down, even though it doesn’t move left or right. Besides, this option we tried out is aesthetically pleasing since it is made of solid brass, and you can use decorative coatings on the arm.

Even though it is 9.6 ounces, it is easy to install since it doesn’t require tools or extra help. Because of the threaded ends, you’ll need to attach the arm to your current shower arm. Therefore, unlike other shower arms, you cannot mount the AquaDance on the wall.

During the installation process, unscrew your current shower head first. Attach the AquaDance arm to the current sower extension, then re-screw the showerhead to its position. But if you need to change the shower extension, you might need to change the shower head.

If you want to mount your shower extension on the wall, buy a separate wall flange and make the attachment. Also, do not attach showerheads that weigh more than 3 pounds. You’ll also get a free plumber’s tape to help with the installation.

As if this is not enough, the AquaDance shower head is resistant to rust, grit, moisture, and corrosion. Compared to another options, the AquaDance 7″ Premium High Pressure Shower Head Extension is designed to provide high-pressure water flow, while the Hanebath model is made of brass for durability.

One of the advantages of buying a shower head extension that is compatible with many different styles and brands is that it broadens your choices when selecting bathroom accessories. This is what the matte black Hanebath shower arm will do for you. Here’s how:

With the matte black Hanebath shower arm, you can go for the Moen, Delta, or Kohle showerheads. Also, it has a distinct look because of its S-shaped shower arms which are a bit flatter than the standard version. They also have rounded bends inside the curves.

The base of the shower extension is made of brass. Overall, it weighs 1.22 lbs making it lightweight. Inside the box of this shower arm, you’ll get a flange. You can try to install the arm in your faucet hole.

However, keep in mind that the Hanebath thread is more expansive. Hence, you might need to drill a square of about 1.65 inches for the arm to fit correctly. Also, pay attention to the shower arm during the installation process because of the larger connecting nipple and the extra holes.

And if you don’t want it in matte black, you can get it in other colors. The Hanebath Brass Shower Arm and the BESTILL 16 Inch L-Shaped Shower Head Extension Arm we tried out are both shower arm extensions, with the Hanebath model being made of brass and the BESTILL model featuring an L-shaped design for a unique look.

The best shower experience is the one that offers you some wiggle room. You don’t want to be running around your bathroom chasing water. Therefore, a longer shower extension like the BESTILL 16 Inch L-Shaped Shower Head Extension Arm gives you the space to turn in any direction as the water hits every part of your body.

The 16-inch reach on this arm also swivels up and down, allowing you to set your preferred angle. It also has interlocking teeth to ensure the arm doesn’t wiggle around as you shower. Therefore, it maintains its perfect position from the beginning to the end of your shower.

You’ll get the shower arm in brushed Nickle finishing but it is also available in brushed gold, champagne bronze, chrome, matte black, and oil-rubbed bronze finishing. And as a bonus, the Bestill shower arm looks phenomenal, and it blends well with your home décor while not compromising on functionality.

The best part about this extension is that it is the best for DIY because it comes with clear instructions about what to do. The BESTILL 16 Inch L-Shaped Shower Head Extension Arm and the Delta Faucet Adjustable Shower Arms are both shower arm extensions. The BESTILL model features an L-shaped design for a unique look, while the Delta Faucet model is adjustable to accommodate different shower head heights.

Value is what you get from this extension shower head that offers more than meets the eye. The Delta arm is constructed to increase its reach to more than what you expect. Usually, the extension arm is 10.9 inches long. But, it can increase by a further 8 inches.

You can also adjust the extension arm on the showerhead side and the wall connection side. Hence, you can either change the angle of the showerhead or its vertical height. You can also increase the reach of your shower head with the Delta arm since the threads at both ends can link two shower arms together.

But while this can work in theory, the weight of the extension could damage your shower wall tiles. One extension is heavy at 10.2 ounces since the optimum weight for a shower arm should be 2 pounds or less. Also, the possibility for a leak to occur in this case is high.

Besides, maintaining the original angle of your shower arm will prove difficult if you link two shower arms. Nevertheless, you can use different showerhead brands with this arm. Another advantage of the Delta adjustable arm is that the installation process is easy, and it only takes a few minutes.

Concerning the design, the Delta extension arm has a brass base that is coated with chrome. It also houses a utilitarian design that is easily adjustable in terms of angle and height. As a result, you have a triple-pronged advantage with the Delta shower head extension.

Comparing the Delta Faucet Adjustable Shower Arms and the Hansgrohe Raindance Shower, they are two different types of showerheads that are still comparable as per our evaluation. The Delta Faucet model is designed to work with a variety of shower heads, while the Hansgrohe model features a rain showerhead design for a luxurious shower experience.

The American Standard Shower arm we tested provides your bathroom with a simple and rustic log cabin design. It has a rubbed bronze finish that is out of this world. You can also get different finishing materials with this extension, including satin nickel, black bronze, and polished chrome finish.

Overall, it has a medium weight of 13.6 ounces, and the shower arm works perfectly hence the limited lifetime warranty. Don’t be fooled by the narrow nature of this device; it is very secure, and it will create a respectable water flow rate of 2.5 GPM. You can also remove the flow restrictor from the handheld shower head to increase the pressure a little.

During the installation process, place the arm as low as possible to avoid grazing the ceiling because the crook portion of the arm has a 5.5-inch rise. The package comes with a half-inch threaded connection piping and a wall flange.

The Standard American shower extension is compatible with Moen and Delta showerheads. Therefore, buy this option if you want a traditional and straightforward shower head extension. However, you will pay a good buck for this shower extension.

If you have a bathroom with a lot of space, you can consider buying the Purelux shower extension. The shower arm has been designed to extend your shower head to at least 16 inches away from the wall.

Therefore, you can be sure that you will not be rubbing against the wall as you clean your body. Purelux is also excellent for spacious bathrooms because it does not have any added weight. Instead, you can change the appeal of the base of the stainless steel shower arm with different coating options to match your style or preferences.

The advantage of buying this option on our list of the best shower head extensions is that it has standard dimensions compatible with showerheads from other brands even though it is made for the Purelux showerhead. Besides, you don’t have to worry about corrosion or salt water if you use this device.

The lightweight, 10.7 ounces and practical Purelux have a 2.6-inch flange with a rubber gasket. But ensure you don’t choose a showerhead that is too heavy since it will drag the shower arm down. And because both ends of the shank are threaded, the shower arm comes with free Teflon tape to seal the said ends before putting the screws in place.

Nevertheless, the assembly work can be tedious since the wall flange is separate from the shank. Also, you must ensure that the screw is perfectly in place to prevent leakage or water damage to your walls.

When you search for a shower arm, you consider the amount of reach you’ll get. That said, the Waterpoint Adjustable arm we tried out provides 11 inches of reach with a rotating elbow. Hence, your showerhead will swivel up and down before it locks in a position.

The locking is done securely by the free spinning lock that holds and secures the showerhead and shower arm in position. With this arm extension, you can even shift your water angle by slightly skewing it or pointing it straight down for the perfect shower experience.

And even though you don’t need the showerhead end to face the ceiling, it is still easy to reach and angle the showerhead. Besides, the installation process for this 12.8-ounce shaft is easy because the package comes with sealant tape, instructions, and an extra washer.

Waterpoint is made from solid brass and coated with either the oiled bronze or the chrome finish. The finishes are moisture-proof. It also has a 180-degree arc at both ends, and the arm guarantees a lifetime warranty.

Get this shower extension if you want something that offers versatile height and reach, is easy to install and maintain, and still looks good in your bathroom.

If all you want is something simple with sturdy construction, then the Danze arm extension is your safe bet. It comes in one single sparkling shaft with a threaded end. In case you prefer a dull look, you can buy the dull brushed nickel Danze arm.

Nevertheless, all Danze arm shafts are made from a brass base. The extension is a solid metal shower head with a heavy 1.5-pound weight. And even though the shower arm is considered an S-shaped arm, it has a less curvy silhouette and a more specific stretch.

With this shower arm, you’ll extend your showerhead reach by 13 inches, and the height of your shower head will increase by 10 inches. But, don’t expect the showerhead to point straight down because the horizontal sections are slanted.

Instead, it will have a slight tilt making your water hit at an angle. Therefore, Danze is much more appealing in shower bathrooms that have enough space. You can either adjust the wall connections or the plumbing to accommodate the permanently attached wall flange for the installation.

However, this arm we tested only works as a wall-mount shower extension, meaning you cannot install it on your ceiling. Nevertheless, it looks fantastic in your bath, and it will add both length and height to your showerhead position. The Danze shower arm is also designed to withstand steam.

This might be the only shower arm option in the list of products we evaluated made of stainless steel on both the showerhead and the shower arm. These shower arms also have a chrome finish. As a result, the extension has a shimmering modern ambiance.

The showerhead is additionally lined with silicon nozzles to reduce limescale. The rain showerhead even has about 90 silicon nozzles reinforced using air-powered technology to ensure that the water flow pressure is maintained regardless of the water supply at the mains.

Both parts make up 2 pounds of weight. Therefore, the escutcheon plate adds excellent support to the already lightweight shower system. If you get this option, you’ll extend your showerhead by 11 inches.

You’ll also swivel the shower head extension and the showerhead up and down, but not from side to side. Nonetheless, the showerhead can swivel at 360 degrees. Maintaining this shower extension is easy.

But remember, you need to loosen the nut before making any adjustments to your shower arm. This will protect your bathroom hardware from damage. Besides, all you’ll need for installation is the wrench since the NearMoon bundle is a complete package.
