Shower arm DN 15 A-QA, for shower head, extension 400 mm, with rose - Ø 55 mm, chrome 6651405-00

Application and Functionality in Concealed Installations

This solution is essential when designing a shower with concealed fittings where a traditional shower bar is not feasible. This component directs water from the wall directly to the shower head, creating an aesthetic and functional flow line. Thanks to an extension of 400 mm, the rain shower head is positioned at a safe distance from the wall. This is not merely a matter of convenience – such spacing prevents water from evaporating on the hot wall and facilitates free movement under the shower, even with larger heads (e.g., 250 mm in diameter).

Wall-mounted installation requires precise preparation of the plumbing. The water connection is made via a G 1/2 thread, which is standard in modern sanitary installations and ensures compatibility with most concealed thermostatic valves and mixers available on the market.

Construction, Installation, and Resistance to Soiling

The product features a simple yet robust construction that facilitates the installer's work during assembly. A key structural element is the 55 mm diameter decorative cover plate. Its purpose is not only to aesthetically conceal any irregularities around the mounting hole in the wall but also to ensure watertightness and visual continuity between the pipe and the bathroom finish. This cover plate is adjustable, providing additional flexibility when accommodating tile or plaster thickness.

The surface in chrome finish is not merely a visual choice. The chrome-plated coating:

• Is resistant to corrosion and humidity typical of wet areas.
• Facilitates cleaning – its smooth structure makes limescale deposits harder to form and easier to remove (especially when combined with shower heads featuring an anti-limescale system).
• Retains its shine for a long time with proper care.

The product weight (approx. 0.38 kg) suggests the use of materials with appropriate density, translating into stable connection with the shower head – the arm will not "work" or vibrate during intense showering.

Compatibility with the A-QA Series and Other Applications

Although this component perfectly complements the Kludi A-QA collection, its universal dimensions allow installation with other shower heads compatible with the DN 15 standard. In shower sets, it often serves as an accessory for concealed mixers or thermostatic valves, creating a visually cohesive set with a rain shower measuring 25x25 cm or a round one with a 250 mm diameter.

For professionals, this means less need to fit custom components – the DN 15 arm is a market standard. For the end user, it guarantees that even after replacing the shower head (e.g., with a newer model from the same series), the arm will remain functional and aesthetically pleasing for years.

It is worth remembering that during installation, proper sealing of the thread and secure mounting of the arm in the wall must be ensured to avoid future leaks. Thanks to precise factory processing, this component requires minimal preparation time before final installation in the bathroom.
