A water delivery system for shower stalls that divides water delivered from one outflow alternatively into two, three, four, five, and six water streams. The system comprises an elongated larger water delivery member having two approximately parallel showerhead attachment arms with two 90.degree. angles and one approximately 145.degree. angle between them. The system also comprises a shorter water delivery member having two approximately parallel showerhead attachment arms with two 90.degree. angles between them, and an optional third showerhead connector. The 145.degree. angle in the larger water delivery member allows ample ceiling clearance for the system when the larger member is rotated for its installation and removal from water delivery pipes positioned at heights commonly used for human shower applications. Also, the female connection on the shorter water delivery member of the system has a sufficiently extended threaded connection to allow the shorter water delivery member to be rotated 90 degrees from a horizontal to a vertical orientation where the uppermost showerhead could be used to wash one's hair while the lower showerhead could remain directed toward the user's body. In the horizontal position, two people could simultaneously shower in the same shower stall and each have a water stream directed exclusively toward them. Any type of showerhead could be attached to the ends of the larger and smaller water delivery members, including hand-held showerheads. Applications, although not limited to such use, could include such diversity as routine personal hygiene to the rinsing of people exposed to hazardous materials.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A method of water delivery for showering purposes that allows water delivered from one positive pressure water outflow pipe to alternatively be divided into two, three, and four water streams, said method comprising the steps of:providing a water delering member including an elongated larger water delivery member having two approximately parallel male-threaded showerhead attachment arms, a first cross member, a second cross member, an obtuse angle between said first cross member and said second cross member, each of said attachment arms each being positioned at an approximate 90.degree. angle relative to said first cross member, and a female-threaded outflow connector in fluid communication with said first cross member as well as two shorter water delivery members each having two approximately parallel male-threaded showerhead connection arms with a single cross member connected therebetween, in addition to a female-threaded extended outflow connector having an extended female thread pattern adapted for 90.degree. of rotation relative to a positive pressure water outflow pipe without fluid leakage and being in fluid communication with said single cross member; also providing a plurality of showerheads each having a capability for 360.degree. of rotation; and a positive pressure water outflow pipe;when two water streams are desired connecting said outflow connector of one of said water delivery members to said positive pressure water outflow pipe, and connecting one of said shower heads to each of said showerhead attachment arms on said water delivery member;when three water delivering streams are desired in the alternate connecting said outflow connector of said larger water delivery member to said positive pressure water outflow pipe, connecting one of said shorter water delivery members to one of said showerhead attachment arms on said larger water delivery member, and further connecting one of said shower heads to the remaining one of said showerhead attachment arms on said larger water delivery member and each of said showerhead attachment arms on said shorter water delivery member; andwhen four water delivering streams are desired in the alternate connecting said outflow connector of said larger water delivery member to said positive pressure water outflow pipe, connecting one of said shorter water delivery members to each of said showerhead attachment arms on said larger water delivery member, and further connecting one of said shower heads to each of said showerhead attachment arms on said shorter water delivery member so that said larger water delivery member and said smaller water delivery members are used alone and in combination to divide a water stream flowing from said positive pressure water outflow pipe alternatively into two, three, and four water streams for enhanced showering capability and versatility.
