01

Turn Off Water Supply

Before starting the installation, ensure the water supply to your shower is completely turned off. This prevents any accidental water flow during the process.

02

Remove Old Showerhead

If an existing showerhead is installed, unscrew it carefully. Use your hands for removal or an adjustable wrench if it is tightly secured. Be mindful of residual water that may spill out.

03

Clean the Shower Arm

Once the old showerhead is removed, clean the threaded end of the shower arm. Ensure all old plumber’s tape, dirt, or debris is wiped away.

04

Apply Plumber’s Tape

Take the plumber’s tape included in your package and wrap it tightly around the threaded end of the shower arm to ensure a tight seal and prevent leaks.

05

Attach the Connector

Screw the connector onto the threaded end of the shower arm. Hand-tighten it until it feels snug, but do not over-tighten.

06

Attach the Hose

Connect one end of the hose to the connector you just installed. Tighten it by hand, ensuring it is secure but not excessively tightened.

07

Attach the Showerhead

Take the other end of the hose and connect it to the showerhead. Hand-tighten this connection until it is securely fastened.

08

Turn On Water Supply

Slowly turn the water on to allow pressure to build. Check all connections, including the showerhead, hose, and connector, for any signs of leaking.

09

Adjust Showerhead Position

Adjust the showerhead to your preferred position or angle, if applicable.

10

Test the Showerhead

Turn on the shower to verify that water flows correctly. Check again for any leaks and make any necessary adjustments.

Tips for a Smooth Installation:

  • Keep a towel or small bucket handy to catch any residual water.
  • Use only hand-tightening for all connections to avoid damaging components.
  • If leaks persist, try adding an additional layer of plumber’s tape.
