SHOWER HEAD
Congratulations. You've purchased
what we believe is the world's finest hand
shower. These are general instructions
that cover several similar models, so
don't be alarmed if parts are displayed
that are not included in the unit you
purchased.
TOOLS REQUIRED
You will need a pair of pliers, a piece of
cloth, six inches of plumber tape, and a
large towel.
IMPORTANT
g Always protect the finish of parts with
a heavy cloth when using pliers or a
wrench.
g Align threads properly when
assembling components to avoid
damaging or stripping threads.
g Suggestion: Place a towel on the
bottom of the tub beneath the old
shower head. If you accidentally drop
something this can help avoid losing
it down the drain or chipping the finish
of your tub.

SHOWER HEAD
Your goal is to unscrew the existing
shower head without
unscrewing or
rotating the shower
arm that it is
attached to. Your
existing shower
head will un-screw
COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
Note: If your shower arm has a ball
on the end, it will not work with this
shower unit and will need to be
replaced with a standard shower arm.
We suggest a Delta
After removing the
shower head clean the
threads of the shower
arm with a piece of
cloth or wire brush
if necessary. Then wrap the six inches
of plumber tape around the threads
of the shower arm in a CLOCKWISE
manner. Be careful to stretch the tape
into the grooves of the threads. The tape
provides a lubricant and added sealant
for the threads even when a gasket is
used.
NEVER USE PIPE DOPE.
