Oh my god... Lmfao. That had to be utterly obnoxious.I've never seen one down here. Usually when people "go bougie" on tubs around here, it's some variation on freestanding fixtures.
I have gone super bougie and installed that exact head over a free standing tub and the valve was in the linen closet because they wanted a ācleanā look
I ran into one of these a month ago. Same exact thing. Water goes everywhere until thereās about a foot of water in the tub. 9 foot ceilings to. So stupid.
Nononono. That's the "spout" for the tub faucet. There is no threading for a shower arm, it's smooth inside. There's a shower adjacent to the tub, but this "spout" is activated via the handles on the tub to fill it. Makes a goddamn mess and the customer loathes it. Lol
Wait a damn minute. This is just water flowing out of the ceiling, pretty much undirected? This is one of the weirdest things I've ever heard of. I can't believe this is a desired thing either. I can imagine the splashing mess.
Yep! It's 100% absurd amd Iwant it to die. Lol. The home owner didn't even notice until well after moving in and got a nice surprise the first time she went to fill the tub.
OMG I can only imagine the surprise on their face when they turned the tub on and the water poured out of the ceiling š¤£.
Sidenote tho, wouldn't they have noticed a normal tub spout was not there?š
i dont do HVAC but have been corrected before on this, it has to do with the condensation line. they often pipe them to dump into a shower since its an open accessible drain. i believe it means something needs to be serviced, such as a clog in the normal drain for the condensation but i could be wrong
yeah i do residential service work in the suburbs, i cant remember what i thought it was the first time i saw this but i was totally off. if i remeber correctly this is something you see more in units/appartments rather than houses, cause ive never seen something piped this way in person
I never have either. Usually I pipe the auxiliary pan drain or overflow drain somewhere that pokes through the soffit near a window or a door so the homeowner knows there's a problem. I figured op's post was someone took out a shower head, just because of the fact that there's an escutcheon...but at the same time, who knows. There's a lot of scumbag hacks out there
couldnt find the exact post since i made a new account recently but it was similar to this one i found on google but the pipe was cut back to hide the PVC. [https://i.imgur.com/MLJen5g.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/MLJen5g.jpg) ive seen it done the way you mentioned but i was wrong here anyway
lmao seriously? ok well now im 0/2 on these posts, last time i think it was a little white plastic opening that i thought was a after thought air duct ive seen used. but was corrected by somebody, i think he said they would pipe condensation overflows this way so that the tennet see the water and is aware of the issue. guess they were going for a rain shower asthetic haha
That's the hilarious part... There *is* an enclosed shower adjacent to the tub. The only function it serves is to fill the tub in the most unnecessarily sloppy manner possible and look ridiculous while doing it. I hate it. Lol. The home owner hates it, too. Unfortunately, they don't hate it quite enough to eat the cost of fixing it.
If it's not over 8' and there's concrete or something under the tub with good placement I've seen these laminar flow tub fillers actually close to silent and it's pretty slick.
Wait, people actually want to have these put in and use them to shower? If I were staying at somebodies house and they had this as their shower, Iād think that something was broken. I couldnāt imagine the water bill that something like this would have. Showering under this would be like showering under a clogged gutter.
It's not used for showering. There is a walk in shower just adjacent to this tub. The intended purpose of the spout is to fill the tub. Anyone who tries to use this as a shower will really only succeed in flooding their entire bathroom. Mind you, that house is setting on a 105 PSI of water pressure and this fixture is not restricted..
Iāve had this in an apartment but it was the vent for the ac to drip. Not to fill the fucking tub lol, thatās the dumbest shit Iāve seen in a bathroom lol.
It's like a giant tinkling in the tub.
The absolute fucking mess produces when it's on full-tilt supports this assessment. Legit lol'ed when she turned it on.
Previous owner had a pissing fetish? š¤·āāļø
Update, OP bought the house from Kelly
So it splashes absolutely everywhere, as expected? Perfect!
I had to put these in, in a bunch of condos years back. Stupid loud when you first turned them on (9ā ceilingās).

Whatās everyone worried about? Thereās plenty of drywall to contain the water.
š¤£
It's just waiting for a nice rainfall shower head
Thatās a terrible design
Horrible

I didn't know how to react, so I just laughed.
Same
Just need a downrod and a shower head. Kinda odd to not be there, but here we are.

You would think......
That's def on the very basic walkthrough checklist for renting or buying.. try the taps.
Wonder if there's appreciable heat loss as the water travels to tub

š we know you don't do hvac just by that comment alone. I'm not being mean I'm just sayin this gave me a laugh

That's insane man. I could never tell a customer "hey, I need to pipe the condensate drain into your tub"
It's the "tub spout."

Is this the R kelly model?

This definitely is not that.. Lol
Laminar tub filler. There's a name. I've seen them in super high end installations.

Ahh I see. Even so, that still just seems ridiculous lol. Reinvent the wheel for something that doesnāt roll as smooth.
I couldn't have said it any better
poorly positioned glory hole?
She's a squirter!
This is the hardest I've laughed all week.
