I'm wondering what the best way to finish a waterfall shower arm which will be installed on a sloped ceiling. I needed to slope the ceiling because it is a steam shower, but now I can't find a flange/escutcheon online that seems to articulate or have some ability to be on a sloped ceiling with a vertical pipe drop. Anybody have any experience or advice?

About any escutcheon will work. I'm not understanding what the problem is. Screw the drop ear 90 in the wall at whatever angle you want and pipe to it.

nipple shouldn't be plumb, it should be 90 degrees to the ceiling then hopefully the head has swivel to it

Thanks Jeff - so this is more of the standard way of installing? I couldn't wrap my head around the rough-in at the left, but what you say makes sense on the right? I suppose I can add some blocking in the ceiling for support and just get a swivel and call it good?

I think so check your shower parts You probably need a rainhead that has a sort of a swivel that lets it adjust as a regular head does . but verify your parts
