45 degree elbow for shower head - where to source

If all else fails, get the old one chromed?

Try:

A picture would help but consider getting the brass one chromed. A motorcycle shop might chuck it in with a batch of other bits which would be cheaper than getting it done as a one-off.

Have you tried a small specialist plumbers merchants, rather than one of the DIY chains? If they haven't either got one in stock or can't order one, the may suggest an alternative approach. They are often cheaper than the DIY chains as well.

We've a couple in our area who I've found excellent for both 'bits' and advice over the years.

Is this what you want?

The only problem is that it's in Australia!

Amazon have something similar in USA

The right thing must surely be available in the UK - the only problem is finding it!

I never knew you could do such a thing, thanks for the info

That's the one Roger, as you can see not really easy to source in uk Thanks

Thanks, gave it a try, 90 degree elbows yes, 45 degree no

If you're really stuck then fem-fems are available in stainless at BES which would do the job when combined with a threaded nipple.

You may need to use a thread seal rather than the more usual bottom seal and rubber washer at the shower head but a liquid based thread sealant could make the build look presentable.

Dennis, you cracked it i think! Thanks And thanks to other contributions too

Any chance you could quote a bit of each message to which you're replying in each of your replies? Otherwise, most people reading your replies won't know what you're replying to.

Find a chromer in your area and get them to lob it into a batch of whatever they're doing. Cost you a pint.
