The diameter of the size of pipes that lead to most conventional domestic shower heads range from around 40mm-170mm.This all depends on which purpose you intend to use your shower for, whether it be a serious showerer or just for a casual sprinkle. If you intend to use your shower for pleasure it is recommended that you invest in steel re-inforced 180mm pipe.

How do you repair a shower leak at the joint between the main pipe and shower-head pipe?

How do you change shower head?
I am assuming you are talking about the curved pipe coming out of the wall leading to your shower head. In order to change it, simply unscrew it counter-clockwise using a pipe wrench. To install the new one, make sure you use pipe sealing compound and wrap the jaws of the pipe wrench with tape to prevent the finish from marring.
Why does water leak behind the wall when the shower stem is pulled up but not when it is down and the water is running?
When you pull the stem up, it diverts the water from the tub spout to the shower head. Somewhere between the valve connection and shower head arm, you have a leak. The easiest part to check would be the arm that comes out of the wall that you screw the shower head on to. It is normally screwed in to a "shower Ell" and that connection and or pipe is easy to crack if someone pulls on the shower head. Pull the escutcheon plate towards the shower head and try to see into the hole and look for water at the connection. It would only leak when you are using the shower. If it is another connection or the riser pipe itself, you'll have to access it through the wall, hopefully from a room on the opposite side of the wall. Good Luck
