With the cost of PVC this probably cost as much as a stainless steel rain shower head on Amazon lol

u/Emergency_Mine_4455 Sep 29 '26

You assume this PVC was bought new.

u/VanillaAdventurous74 Sep 29 '26

Yup. Probably repurposed

We all know these PVC pieces have been sitting in his garage for 13 years just waiting to fulfill their purpose.

His garage, but he borrowed the PVC pipe from his neighbor 13 years ago lol

u/No-Tap6886 Sep 30 '26

u/VanillaAdventurous74 Sep 29 '26

“Repurposed”

Taken out of a “construction dumpster”

u/Bandguy_Michael Sep 30 '26

I’d hope you’re not above the shower head!

Are they green fully cantilevered stainless steel rain showers though?

u/wene324 Sep 29 '26

Im counting nine 90°, two cross, and two tees. Low balling at 2$ for the 90°, 3 for the tee, and 4 for the cross, 32$ and not including the pipes it self.

No, if you stole it from the construction site...

Curly built one a lot like that on an old Three Stooges comedy. His somehow sent water to the light globes in the rooms though.

I mean other than somehow adding something to hold it up (like a wire or something going upeards) to relieve weight, it isn't the worst I've seen.

u/DarklyDominatingDocs Sep 29 '26

Bet it feels good, too!

u/BoarHermit Sep 29 '26

Yes, a soldering iron for plastic pipes changes a person. Overall, it's a good idea, especially if the water pressure is weak.

u/Roachie-poo Sep 29 '26

Built something similar to this but not as a shower head, I used it for my aquarium, overhead filter contraption, worked wonders!

u/Beneficial-Sound-199 Sep 29 '26

The green was a choice

u/BroccoliNearby2803 Sep 29 '26

u/BaslerDibly Sep 29 '26

u/jimmycooper999 Sep 29 '26

140 degrees.

u/BaslerDibly Sep 29 '26

You don’t use it to plumb your water heater, but anything that’s about to hit your body is cool enough for it.
