Loosen Up
release off the water supplyto the shower . If you ’re keeping the cascade weapon , twine a cloth or plumber ’s tape around both ends of the arm to protect it from scratches . Next , grip the shower arm with pliers while using a twist to turn the nut counterclockwise .
Out With the Old
Unscrew the showerhead . move out the screw hold the flange in position , then remove the rim . Unscrew the cascade limb using pliers at the base .
If the showerhead is stick , hook the cloth inwhite vinegar , envelop it around the nut on the showerhead , and let it sit for a few minutes to loosen mineral deposits .
Prepare the Arm
Wipe around the golf hole in the paries to remove stain . Next , tightly twine five layers ofplumber ’s tapeclockwise around the end of the shower arm that goes into the paries . It ’s essential to wrap the tape opposite to how the limb will twist into place .
Secure Connection
Attach the end of the exhibitor weapon to thepipe in the paries , sprain clockwise . ( Because you also wrap the magnetic tape clockwise in Step 3 , it ’s now turn counterclockwise , making a fuddled bond . ) Replace the rim . Wrap three layer of tape around the exposed end of the shower branch .
Finish the Job
Screw the showerhead into place by hand . Protect the showerhead joint with a textile or tape and then tighten with a wrench , turning clockwise , to prevent leaks andwater - pressureissues .
Bonus: Expand the Upgrade
