Rain Shower Head

Hi,
I recently look at changing the head of our ceiling mounted shower head and found that the pipe is 1.5" instead of the BSP1/2 (looking at google).

Is there a reason why the pipe would be that wide?
Or should I look at getting a plumber back to change it to the standard?

My name is Ola.

This is normal. All that is needed is a right fitting to connect to the 15mm of your shower head."
