Things You'll Need:
- New Rain Shower Head
- Locking Plyers
- Plumbers Tape
-
Step 1
Remove your old shower head. You may need to use the plyers to loosen the fitting. Be careful, there will probably be a little water in the short pipe running to the shower head. Completely unscrew the head and clean off any old plumbers tape residue on the short pipe.
-
Step 2
Take the new roll of plumbers tape and smoothly wind a couple of layers around the threaded part of the pipe coming out of the wall.
-
Step 3
You can now attach the new rain shower head to the pipe. Remember to turn the head to the right to tighten. If you need to get the fitting a little tighter, use your locking plyers to tighten.
-
Step 4
Step out of the shower and turn the water on. Make sure that you don't have any leaks at the fitting. If you do have a leak, tighten the fitting some more. If that does not stop the water leak, then remove the new shower head and add another layer of plumbers tape. Then attach the new shower head over the additional layer of plumbers tape again.
