- 1). Remove your old shower head, using a wrench. Unscrew the shower head counterclockwise. If it is hard to turn, don't force it. You can damage the plumbing located behind the wall. Spray lubricant on the threads and wait about 15 minutes. Then loosen the head.
- 2). Place new Teflon tape on the threads of the shower pipe, which is sticking out of the wall. Wrap the tape around the threads a couple of times clockwise. This is to prevent any water leaks.
- 3). Remove the cover from your shower body spray kit, using the screwdriver. These kits usually consist of a large, tower-like structure that attaches to your existing shower pipe and to the wall. The kits contain at least six body sprays, which can all be fully adjusted.
- 4). Hold the base of the body spray kit to the wall. Position it, using a helper and a level. Mark the screw holes with a marking pen. Remove the base unit from the wall area.
- 5). Drill 1/4-inch holes in the wall to secure the body spray to the wall. Use the cordless drill and the appropriate drill bit for your specific wall material. Hammer the wall anchors in place. Screw the body spray base to the wall through the wall anchors, using your helper to position it properly.
- 6). Place the body spray kit cover on top of the base unit on the wall. Connect the shower pipe on the wall with the threaded connector coming out of the back of the body spray kit cover. Use the wrench to do this. Have your helper hold the cover loosely in place, while you tighten down the connection.
- 7). Install the body spray kit cover, using the cordless drill and the screws that go through the body spray kit cover and into the base unit.
- 8). Turn on the water and check for leaks.
