1. Apply plumber's tape to the threads on both ends of the shower arm and slide on the
decorative escutcheon.
2. Insert the new arm into the fitting in the Wall and twist to tighten. Finish tightening
with your adjustable wrench. Wrap a dry cloth around the shower arm to protect the finish
while tightening with adjustable wrench.
3. Thread the new shower head onto the arm and hand-tighten. Hold the shower arm in
place with groove joint pliers and finish tightening the shower head with your adjustable
wrench. Wrap both in a dry cloth to protect the finish.
4. Before securing the decorative escutcheon, turn on the water supply to make sure that
all connections are tight and there is no leaking. If no leaks are detected, continue with the
installation. If leakage does occur, use your adjustable wrench to tighten the connections
as necessary.
5. Apply a bead if silicone sealant to the back of the escutcheon and press firmly into place
against the installation surface. Wipe away any excess sealant with your damp cloth.

1. SUPPLY ELBOW INSTALLATION
Apply plumber tape to threaded ends of 1/2" (13 mm)
iron pipe nipple (not supplied) and thread into
shower riser elbow so that nipple extends past the
finished wall no more than 0.19" (4.8 mm) and no less
than 1/16" (1.6 mm). Place the supplied installation
gasket (1) behind the elbow (2). Screw the supply
elbow onto the nipple making sure that the supply
elbow outlet is in a downward facing position.
Minimum diameter for hole is 1" (25 mm) with a
maximum of 1 1/2" (38 mm).
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the supply elbow or
hose finish during installation, wrap with a cloth or
tape and use only a smooth-jawed wrench.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN CONNECTIONS.
3. WALL BAR INSTALLATION
Note: Hole size will be determined by your use of just the screw or
anchor and screw for installation. Drill hole for mounting of bottom
post. Start with a smaller drill bit size, 1/8" is recommended, and drill
hole. If you hit a wall stud, go to next step. If you do not hit a wall stud,
change to a drill bit size suitable for the anchors, 1/4" is recommended,
and re-drill hole.
Anchors are for use on drywall or tile. For fiberglass, acrylic and flat
plastic surfaces, use toggle bolts (not included).
Before drilling top mounting hole, it is recommended that you place
the assembled slide bar and post assembly (1) on its side next to the
hole locations you have marked. Make sure posts are pressed fully onto
bar. Align center of bottom post with bottom hole that was just drilled
and make sure center of top post aligns with mark for top hole. If not,
re-mark top hole location. If it aligns, drill top hole in location as
marked.
2. Mark the place for drilling the hole for the lower
post. Mark using a level, in a vertical line from the
lower hole, the placement of the upper post hole.
Distance approximately 25.7" (653 mm).
