How to Install Rain Shower with Handheld Step By Step!

• Plumbers tape
• Thread Sealant
• Rain shower head kit

This is intended as a general installation guide, so there’s a chance that your particular shower head may have a slightly different installation process. As such, read the instructions that came with your shower head. For instance, perhaps your rain shower head comes with its own shower arm. If you’ll have to install that before you install your rain shower head.

First of all, make certain that the water supply to the shower is turned off. Next, collect all the supplies required, and don’t forget a towel or two to wipe up any water. Finally, seal the shower drain so no pieces fall into it during installation.

Start by removing your old shower head first, and if required, your old shower arm as well. This should be easy, as you’re simply unscrewing the shower arm from the wall with your hand or wrench by turning it counterclockwise.

If you have a shower arm in your kit, apply plumbers tape to the threaded ends of your shower arm, wrapping it clockwise. If you have a faceplate, take this opportunity to slide it over the new shower arm.

Great care must be taken when installing the shower head. After all, you don’t wish to risk scratching the shower head. Thus, it’s best if you can screw it into place using only your hands. Once in place, test it to see if it’s tight by turning on the water and searching for leaks.
