Hidden pivot attachment for showers and method of making same

A water supply attachment comprising:

• a generally spherically shaped pivot attachment having a main body defining a hollow passageway therethrough and defining opposing ends with a longitudinal axis extending between the opposing ends;
• a plurality of adjacent ribs extending radially outwardly from the main body on opposite sides of the main body, substantially longitudinally along a length of the main body and extending substantially between one of the opposing ends to the other of the opposing ends, each of the plurality of adjacent ribs defining an outer edge;
• an internal threaded portion extending along a portion of the hollow passageway from one end of the opposing ends;
• an inner rib positioned between at least two adjacent ribs of the plurality of adjacent ribs, the inner rib extending from one end of the at least two adjacent ribs along a portion of a length of each of the at least two adjacent ribs and spaced radially inward from the outer edge of the at least two adjacent ribs, the inner rib terminating at a shoulder substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis;
• wherein the shoulder is located at a position along the length of the main body corresponding to a terminal end of the internal threaded portion.
