When I stare at this photo all I see is the sagging shower head arm.... I need help ! LOL

One of my plumbers like to shim the wing back out of level (Up) so when the shower arm and rain head goes in like in this photo the arm is straight.

Other than that I'm fine with the rest of the photo!

I am going to guess that they used a PEX riser, which can flex even with a tightly secured drop ear elbow. A rigid riser would NOT flax at the elbow.

Death by Shower Head - Electrocution

I've read only a few people a year die with these style shower heads! OMG - I think I would rather wash myself with my socks than step into this shower. In case you don't know the shower head has line power to head the water at the shower head itself....

One of my projects. This is the shower where my plumber ##$%#ed with the wing back out of level so once installed it was money.
