  • a generally vertical rigid header plate having a water manifold portion cantilevered from an upper portion thereof;

    said water manifold portion extending away from said header plate and including a plurality of spaced shower heads;

    a fluid conduit arranged in communication between said existing water supply pipe and said water manifold, to provide for flow of water through said manifold and said shower heads;

    said header plate includes a flat rigid substantially vertical surface area formed on one side thereof and having an aperture formed therethrough to accommodate said existing water supply pipe, the surface opposite said one side including a gripper sleeve formed around said aperture including an outwardly projecting threaded sleeve portion having a plurality of gripper sleeve fingers;

    a nut having threads which cooperate with the threads of said sleeve portion such that when said nut is threaded onto said sleeve portion said fingers will be biased into peripheral contact with said water supply pipe with said vertical surface area forced against said existing vertical wall to thereby provide support for said cantilevered water manifold.
