A shower system installed in a shower installation including a wall and a water supply pipe with a pipe outlet. The shower system includes an adapter, a supply pipe, a shower bar, and a diverter valve assembly. The adapter has an inlet connectable to the pipe outlet on a first side of the wall. The supply pipe is slidably couplable to the adapter, has a supply outlet in fluid communication with the adapter, and is on the second side of the wall. The shower bar has a shower bar inlet fluid connectable to the adapter. The shower bar is on the second side of the wall. First and second shower members are fluidly connectable to the shower bar. The diverter valve assembly is connectable to the shower bar and is operable to direct water to at least one of the first shower member or the second shower member.

An adjustable showerhead support system capable of being attached to a shower chair. The showerhead support system has a showerhead support assembly operated by a showerhead support track lever allowing a user to move a showerhead forwards and backwards. The showerhead support assembly also has a telescoping bracket and telescoping legs to allow a user to adjust the height of the showerhead. The showerhead support system also includes a back track assembly operated by a back track lever that allows the user to move the showerhead left and right. The showerhead support system also includes a counterbalance.

An assembly for a shower system having first and second shower members and connectable to a water supply with a supply pipe having a pipe outlet. The assembly includes an adjustable supply assembly and a diverter valve. The adjustable supply assembly includes an adapter coupleable to the pipe outlet, a supply member having a supply outlet and coupled to the adapter for movement along the axis, and a seal positioned to provide a sealed connection in adjusted positions. The diverter valve includes a valve inlet in fluid communication with the supply outlet, and first and second valve outlets in fluid communication with the first and second shower members, respectively. The shower system is mounted in an enclosure having a wall. The adapter connects to the pipe outlet on one side of the wall, and the diverter valve is located on another side of the wall.

An articulating shower assembly is provided. The articulating shower assembly includes a linkage assembly pivotally coupled to a spray head and a handle pivotally coupled upstream to the linkage assembly. The handle can cause both the spray head and the linkage assembly to transition between a plurality of operating positions responsive to a force applied to the handle.

A shower head holder and an easy-to-use combined shower set are disclosed. The shower head holder includes a connector and a holder body connected to the connector. The holder body is equipped with a shower head seat that is lower than the connector. When the connector of the shower head holder is connected to a three-way switching valve and an overhead shower head, the shower head seat is low in height, so that it is convenient for a short user to place a hand-held shower head on the shower head seat or remove the hand-held shower head from the shower head seat.

A pole mechanism for dual shower head includes a pole and a three-way distributor having one inlet in communication with a water source and two outlets respectively for communication with a first shower head and a second shower head. The pole is securely connected to an outer wall of the three-way distributor and has a socket movably mounted thereon and having a C shaped cutout for holding therein the second shower head.

A method of crimping an implantable prosthetic valve can include placing protective material over at least a portion of the implantable prosthetic valve. The protective material can be configured to occupy space between open cells of a frame of the implantable prosthetic valve to prevent damage to a leaflet structure of the implantable prosthetic valve. The method can also include crimping the implantable prosthetic valve with the protective material on the implantable prosthetic valve, and removing the protective material from between the frame and the leaflet structure of the implantable prosthetic valve.

One variation of a system includes: a pipe adapter defining an inlet configured to thread into a water supply outlet adjacent a shower wall, defining an external threaded section opposite the inlet, and defining an internal bore between the inlet and the external threaded section; a collar defining: a surface configured to face the shower wall; a retention feature offset from the surface; and an internal threaded section defining an axis normal the surface, the internal threaded section configured to mate with the external threaded section of the pipe adapter to position the surface approximately flush with the shower wall; a nipple configured to insert into the pipe adapter and comprising a seal configured to mate with the internal bore; a shower head defining a nozzle fluidly coupled to the nipple; and a latch configured to transiently engage the retention feature to constrain the shower head against the collar.
