Abstract
An exposed secondary showerhead system configured to be supported by a shower enclosure. The illustrative showerhead system includes an overhead conduit fluidly coupled to a shower inlet pipe and to at least one showerhead.
Claims15
A showerhead system comprising;
- a water inlet;
- a vertical connecting support including a waterway fluidly coupled to the water inlet;
- a horizontal connecting support including a waterway extending between a proximal end and a distal end, the waterway of the horizontal connecting support fluidly coupled to the waterway of the vertical connecting support;
- a height adjustment device operably coupled to the vertical connecting support;
- a first showerhead fluidly coupled to the water inlet;
- a second showerhead positioned distally of the first showerhead, the second showerhead fluidly coupled to the waterway of the horizontal connecting support;
- and
- wherein the proximal end of the horizontal connecting support is coupled with the vertical connecting support whereby the height adjustment device adjusts the vertical height of both the vertical connecting support and the proximal end of the horizontal connecting support, and wherein the distal end of the horizontal connecting support is adapted to be supported by a wall.
