Installation
Step 2:
Removing old Shower Head or Rain Shower Head
•
Wrap a cloth around the base of the shower arm, use a pair of pliers and grip onto the cloth.
Using an adjustable wrench, loosen and remove the shower head by turning it counter clockwise.
Step 3:
Installing new Shower Head or Rain Shower Head
• Use a clean rag to wipe off the screw threads of the shower arm. You could also use an old
toothbrush to get in between the threads and clean out any built-up grime and rust. Remove
any old plumber’s tape from the shower arm’s threads.
• Apply about 2-3 turns of plumber’s tape to the threads of the shower arm, wrapping the tape
tightly in a clockwise direction and making sure that it is embedding in the threads properly. Be
sure to press the tape into the grooves of the threads.
• Place the new shower head onto the shower arm and twist it clockwise by hand to secure it
into place. Once the shower head is secure, wrap the base of the shower head with a cloth and
wrap the base of the shower arm with a cloth. Use the pliers to grip onto the cloth and hold
the shower arm base in place. Use the adjustable wrench to clamp onto the cloth and turn the
shower head clockwise as far as it will go.
Step 4:
Check for leaks
• Turn the water back on and turn on the shower and check for leaks.
•
If you find any leaks, try tightening the shower head a little more (Step 3) and check again for leaks.
• If you still see a leak, remove the shower head (Step 2) and remove and reapply any old
plumber’s tape and follow Step 3.
Cleaning and Maintenance
• Avoid using abrasive chemicals when cleaning, read the cleaner product label prior to use.
