To replace a shower head, follow these steps:
- Choose the type of shower head desired (fixed, handheld, combo, or rain shower).
- Ensure the water supply to the shower is turned off.
- Remove the existing shower head by turning it counterclockwise, using a wrench with a rag to avoid scratching if needed.
- Clean the shower arm threads to remove any old tape or mineral deposits.
- Wrap Teflon thread-sealing tape around the shower arm threads to ensure a leak-proof fit.
- Screw the new shower head onto the shower arm, tightening securely but not overly tight.
- Turn the water back on and check for leaks; if leaks occur, retighten or add more thread tape.
For handheld or combo shower heads, additional steps may be needed to connect hoses or mounts.
