Moen 116651 6-Inch Straight Shower Arm, Chrome

A little pipe tape and great water flow.

This is a quality nipple for moen products.

I installed this straight pipe with a new flow adjuster, extension arm, and 8" rain head. I could not get the old wall pipe to not leak - as the rubber gasket would always push into the pipe end when tightening. Due to this and wanting more height on the shower head, I purchased this straight pipe. There were others at 6", but this is a MOEN (quality). I used 3 wraps of Teflon tape on the wall side (obviously no gasket here). I also used channellock pliers to tighten (very close to wall in case I buggered the pipe - knowing the chrome wall ring would hide any marks). I wrenched pretty hard, but left no marks on the pipe at all! Hard chrome layer! I used a wrench, but took care to not tighten the flow control (with gasket) too tight on the straight pipe. My setup puts the lowest part of the 8" head at 6'1". Being 5'9', this worked fine. Taller individuals may want to 180 degree their existing curved wall pipe to face up. This straight pipe is good quality and works as designed - the gasket issue (noted above) on old curved pipe did not happen with this pipe. Overall, very happy with purchase!

Would be ok

There's some confusion on IPS vs NPT. I can confirm the threads are in fact tapered and fit 1/2" NPT drop ear elbows that are standard shower rough in.It is not clear exactly what the IPS standard is, but know this will work for any shower application in North America.

Moen 116651BN 6-Inch Straight Replacement Shower Extension, Brushed Nickel received on time, well packaged. very nice finish, used to extend hand held shower head to a much better level without having to hire a plumber or make extensive pipe changes. I did buy a connector to use: one end of connector for pipe coming out ot shower wall, and the other end of connector to use on this replacement pipe. Attached hand held shower holder/head to other end of replacement pipe. Used plumber tape on all and got tight fit, no leaks. I have no plumbing skills and found this simple and straight forward, took about 10-15min, had to get use to handling plumbing tape.

Works as designed.

Used this on bathroom fixtures so far and after 8 months the finish still looks great with no rusting.Threading was perfect.

Great quality and chrome finish. Great find as the big box stores "NO LONGER" carry the straight 6 inch extension shower head piece. Easy install.

Really nice quality piece and finish. The Square surround fits tight and will not slide down. I used this for a rain shower head that came down from the ceiling in my basement washroom. 7’ Ceiling height, this 6-inch adapter was the perfect length.

Good price ontime delivery

Item is as described, delivered with proper packaging, good finish, both threaded ends have proper lengths unlike the product photo. Very satisfied.

To extend rain shower on a ceiling mount. Looks beautiful.
