FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION OR COMPLETE REMODEL
• A hot/cold Automatic Compensating Shower Valve which
complies with ASSE 1016-2011/ASME A112.1016-2011/
CSA B125.16-11 is required (NOT INCLUDED)
• Nipple should extend no more than ½" past nished
wall surface.
1. Determine the length Nipple (D)needed.
a. Place mark on existing shower arm at wall surface.
Unscrew shower arm from elbow in wall.
b. Measure distance from mark on shower arm to end of
shower arm threads. Add ½" to this measurement, and
then round to nearest ½".
Example 1: If measurement = 1¼", add ½" = 1¾",
rounded = 2" NPT nipple—this is the length needed.
Example 2: If measurement = 15
/
8", add ½" = 21
/
8",
rounded = 2" NPT nipple—this is the length needed.
IMPORTANT—If existing shower arm is located above the
tile/berglass wall surface you must add the distance from
the sheetrock to face of the tile/berglass shower wall to the
above measurement.
NOTE—If supplied 2" Nipple (D)is not the correct length
based on above formula, you must obtain the correct size,
sold separately. Various length NPT brass nipples are readily
available at most hardware stores.
2. Apply a generous amount of Teon Tape (N)to both ends of
the Nipple (D).
3. Hand tighten Inlet Fitting (C)onto Nipple (D), then Nipple to
tting in wall. Use adjustable wrench on the Inlet Fitting to
tighten both connections simultaneously. Continue tightening
until both connections are secure with no leaks.
4. Connect Top Tee (B)into Shower Pipe (E)and align with
Diverter. Make sure Top Tee is fully seated into Shower Pipe
and secure with Set Screw (K).
5. Slide Shower Arm (A)into Top Tee (B)and hand-tighten
Retaining Nut until secure.
6. Slide Top Escutcheon (F)over Top Tee (B), then slide Bottom
Escutcheon (F)over Diverter.
7. Loosen Set Screw (L)on Diverter, slide Lower Mount (G)into
Diverter and tighten set screw. Do Not Expose Tape!
8. Push Top Tee (B)over Inlet Fitting (C)until ush against t-
ting. Position Diverter so Shower Pipe (E)is plumb (vertical).
Mark location of Lower Mount (G)with pencil.
9. Wall surface must be clean of any residue and completely
dry. Remove covering of two-face tape and reposition
Lower Mount (G)to mark so the optional mounting holes are
horizontal. Apply pressure to mount for 30 seconds by push-
ing rmly against the Diverter. To ensure proper adhesion,
allow one hour before using your ShowerSpa and keep area
around the mount as dry as possible for the rst 24 hours.
Tape will be fully cured after 24 hours.
OPTIONAL—Secure Lower Mount (G)with permanent wall
anchors. Mark hole locations in Lower Mount. Drill 1¼" deep
holes using 6mm (1/4")masonry/tile drill bit. Insert Wall
Anchors (P)and secure Lower Mount with Screws (O).
CAUTION — LIVE PLUMBING IN WALL
10. Position Shower Pipe (E)parallel to wall by adjusting Diverter
on Lower Mount (G). Secure Diverter to Lower Mount with
Set Screw (L).
11. Insert Rubber Washer (M)into both ends of Hose (J). Con-
nect hex-head end to outlet on Diverter and tapered end to
Hand Shower (I). Place Hand Shower (I)into Holder.
12. Insert Rubber Washer (M)in Shower Head (H)and tighten
securely to Shower Arm (A).
Flow Restrictor Information
This unit contains ow restrictors limiting ow to 2.5 gallons per
minute. If the ow rate is less than expected, or reduces over
time, you may have an obstruction at the inlet restrictor.
To check for debris, remove shower unit from wall, exposing the
Inlet Fitting (C) (attached to wall).
Using needle nose pliers, rotate C-clip until one end enters the
cutout section of the tting, then pull the C-clip out completely.
With needle nose pliers, gently depress the inner yellow ring of
the restrictor to expose the white spindle. Hold the spindle with
pliers and pull toward you to remove.
Remove the screen and turn cold water on—SLOWLY.
Run water for 15 seconds to remove debris from water line.
Check screen and restrictor for sediment. Use water and a soft
nylon brush (if necessary)to remove sediment.
When nished, rst replace the screen, then the restrictor and
nally the C-clip.
The Shower Head (H)and Hand Shower (I)are equipped with
flow restrictors limiting flow rate to 2.5GPM(9.5LPM) as
per the standard ASME A112.18.1/CSA B 125.1.
Your Lanikai Showerspa is fully functional with or without
the restrictors. Depending on your local plumbing codes, the
restrictors may or may not be necessary.

Usage
Diverter valve controls the shower head, handheld shower and
body spray functions. Turn diverter knob right or left to the de-
sired setting. The diverter will click into place at each function.
The shower arm height is adjustable by sliding the arm up or
down while holding the shower pipe with your free hand. The arm
also swings freely to the left or right by gently pressing on the
arm or shower head.
Rotate face of hand shower to switch settings and rotate holder
forward or back to adjust angle.
Rotate body jets ¼ turn left or right to select stimulating or
soothing functions. Change the angle of spray by pushing the jet
left, right, up or down.
Adjust hand shower height by depressing button on holder and
sliding it up or down.
Always turn cold water on rst to help prevent any accidental
burning or scalding; especially for children and elderly.
Do not use any part of the Lanikai Rain Shower System as a
support device.
Care
To keep your ShowerSpa looking new, wipe down after each use
with a soft cotton cloth.
Protect your ShowerSpa from hard water stains and mineral
deposits by periodically using an auto spray wax.
Clean using mild liquid soap and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth.
Rinse with clean water.
Do not use any kind of chemicals or abrasives.
If the ow rate of your ShowerSpa is less than expected, reduces
over time or functions are not completely independent, the
actuator can be removed to clean sediment. Please CALL TECH
SUPPORT @ 1-888-785-7320 (8:30 am – 5:00 pm pacic time
