Is this suitable for exterior shower installation?

I can't answer regarding how the components weather, but everything is brass and chrome-looking plastic which I think would hold up reasonably well. Mine is indoors and I don't have any issues. If it's in the salt-air and direct sun, I imagine the plastic could weather, but this is probably true of all manufacturers. I have owned a ton of Hansgrohe over the years and I personally wouldn't hesitate to install this, or any of their stuff for that matter, outside if I had the need. Hansgrohe is solid and dependable.

I just installed one in Maui on the exterior full sun. some of mthe shower heads have chrome plated plastic which may have a shorter life.

Not a good idea. You should have a fixture specially designed for the wet shower area. Look up shower light.

The product would need to be air tight and "Rated for Wet Locations" to use in a bathroom / shower or an outdoor application. The "Wet Location Rating" would be stated on the package. If it is not state stated on the package it is not designed to go in wet locations.

It's an excellent shower head. And quality is topnotch so don't see why you could not use it outdoors.

Instructions say outdoor. They have a product designated for showers... check out their website for the details.

We are using it as an outdoor shower as well and it is perfect. The hand portion works great as the foot wash.

In the description it says it is safe for outdoor installation, we never installed it outside. The base shown in the image has screw holes in it and is what you would use to mount it outside. It comes with screws to be able to mount it to a wall or some type of support.

I used installed it on my exterior storm door. Not sure if that's what you are asking though.

I believe it would be. But I haven't used it out side yet. I bought it to use in the bathroom. Figured if it was built for the outside , it would handle the shower steam. But I can say that the enclosure for the Airport Express is well built. Also, important is the fact that it's built for the older model Airport extream. Which is shaped more rectangle. The newer AE are square and do not fit. If you are planing on not using the AE than you can use the Aux, but the back storage compartment will not close securely.

No, this is designed to be installed inline somewhere between the fan and the exterior vent. It's not designed for external use.

The rod and mounting hardware are heavy duty with a painted coating (maybe baked on) and could easily withstand a shower environment and it would look good, too. I used a hacksaw to cut it to the size I wanted and it was not too difficult to cut.

We installed it in an inside shower but it seems strong enough for outside shower. Nice head. It is just a little bit bigger than expected (9 1/2"x 8").

I am not sure never used it on the shower. Would probably be careful around the faucet.

The manual states, "Use only outdoors." That might be because, "the exhaust gas and top of the unit is HOT!" The exhaust fumes might be an issue. But, I think you could safely mount the unit outside and just run the hose that connects to the shower head through a window. I would personally be totally okay with and feel quite safe doing that. Hope that helps!

It's just a guess, but if the fixture in which it is mounted protects it from direct contact with the elements, I would say it is plausible for use out doors.

I'm not a plumber, but whatever the standard for a regular shower should work in this application

I would not recommend installing this anywhere that a drop of water could splash or spray on the hot bulbs which are exposed. better to install outside of the shower enclosure, in an area that remains dry and protected from overspray.
