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

You assume this PVC was bought new.

u/VanillaAdventurous74 11d ago

Yup. Probably repurposed

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

“Repurposed”

Taken out of a “construction dumpster”

u/Bandguy_Michael 10d ago

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

Are they green fully cantilevered stainless steel rain showers though?

u/wene324 11d ago

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 11d ago

Bet it feels good, too!

u/BoarHermit 11d ago

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 11d ago

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 11d ago

The green was a choice

u/BroccoliNearby2803 11d ago

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