Gooseneck Shower Arms
Gooseneck Shower Arms Collection – Burdens Bathrooms
Elevate your shower experience with our curated selection of gooseneck shower arms—the perfect choice for design-conscious renovators and trade professionals. These sleek, arching arms are more than a functional upgrade—they're a statement piece. Crafted from premium stainless steel or brass and available in finishes like chrome, matte black, and brushed nickel, our gooseneck shower arms combine durability and modern style.
Why Fit a Gooseneck Shower Arm?
Gooseneck (S‑shaped) designs extend the showerhead further into the shower space and raise its height—ideal for taller users or to accommodate rainfall showerheads ⎯ no ceiling plumbing required. That graceful curve adds visual elegance while enhancing the practical reach of your showerhead.
Practically speaking, if your existing plumbing outlet is lower than you’d prefer, installing a gooseneck arm delivers extra height without structural plumbing changes. Each arm comes complete with a flange for a clean install and standard ½″ BSP/NPT threading to fit most fixtures.

Design & Installation Tips
-
Measure vertical clearance: Some models add 12–14 inches of height—ensure your ceiling and niche space accommodate it.
-
Finish coordination: Match finishes (chrome, brushed nickel, matte black) with your tapware for unified style.
-
Installation ease: Use plumber’s tape and hand-tighten before final torque. A flange is supplied for a tidy wall interface.
Maintenance Tips
Keep the finish fresh by cleaning gently—avoid abrasive cleaners or scour pads. Mild soap and a soft cloth are all it takes. Regular wipe-downs help prevent water spots and preserve the finish over time.

Selecting the Right Gooseneck Arm
-
Arm Rise vs Wall Projection: Longer rises offer more clearance and the curved shape brings the head further out—ideal for large shower roses or space-forward showers.
-
Material: Stainless steel is corrosion-resistant; brass over time develops patina or remains polished depending on finish.
-
Finish Choice:
-
Chrome: timeless and reflective.
-
Brushed nickel/matte: modern subtlety, fingerprint-resistant.
-
Matte black: bold, contemporary statement.
-
-
Quality assurance: Look for reputable brands or features like long warranties to ensure long-lasting performance.
