2. Install the Showerhead

CAUTION: Risk of product damage. To avoid clogging the

showerhead spray outlets, use thread sealant tape on the

shower arm threads. Do not use thread sealant compound

(pipe dope).

Remove the temporary nipple from the shower elbow.

Apply thread sealant to the shower elbow, then install a 1/2″

NPT pipe nipple to the shower elbow. The nipple must extend

1-1/4″ (3.2 cm) beyond the ﬁnished wall.

Turn the main water supply on.

Run hot and cold water through the shower arm to ﬂush out dirt

and debris.

IMPORTANT! If a gasket is NOT installed on the escutcheon of

the shower arm: Apply a bead of plumbers putty or other sealant to

the back of the shower arm. Refer to the putty or sealant

manufacturer’s instructions for proper application. This will ensure a

watertight seal.

Apply thread sealant tape to the pipe nipple and thread the

shower arm onto the pipe nipple.

Carefully tighten the shower arm to the pipe nipple with a clean

strap wrench.

Remove all excess putty around the escutcheon.
