Step 1: Turn Off the Water Supply
Safety first! Before starting the installation, turn off the water supply to the shower. This can usually be done by turning the valves located under the sink or by turning off the main water supply to the house.
Step 2: Remove the Old Shower Head
If you have an existing shower head, remove it by unscrewing the shower arm nut. Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the nut, and then carefully remove the old shower head.
Step 3: Install the Shower Arm
Attach the shower arm to the wall by inserting it into the shower arm flange. Secure the flange to the wall using the provided screws and a screwdriver. Tighten the shower arm nut to ensure a secure connection.
Step 4: Install the Shower Head Flange

Step 5: Install the Shower Head
Slide the ceiling mounted rain shower head onto the shower arm, ensuring that the shower head flange is properly aligned. Tighten the shower head nut using an adjustable wrench to secure the shower head in place.
Step 6: Apply Plumber’s Tape
Wrap plumber’s tape around the threads of the shower arm nut and the shower head nut. This will help create a watertight seal and prevent leaks.
Step 7: Test the Installation
Turn on the water supply and check for any leaks around the shower arm nut and the shower head nut. If there are no leaks, your installation is complete.
Step 8: Clean Up
Clean up any debris or water that may have accumulated during the installation process. This will ensure a clean and pleasant shower experience.
