I need an 8-inch chrome finished shower pipe to install my rain shower head from the ceiling...
Initially, I purchased one from the same plumbing supply house that I got the rain head from, and cost me $60.00. Kind of surprised me that an 8-inch length of pipe could cost so much... But yes, this isn't just rough plumbing...I get that... It's a polished and finished piece of decorative pipe...
I ended up doing some searching on Amazon, and found a similar item for less than half the price ($27.00).
Both claim to be made of solid brass... Both seem to have the same exterior quality appearance... The less expensive pipe has a narrow channel at one opening... Not sure if it will make a difference, but clearly the smaller opening will restrict water flow to some degree...
Here are some photos of the two pipes... What would you do? Do you think it makes a difference?
Note: The less expensive pipe is placed on top of the brown box... The more expensive one is on the white box...
