You can easily install Linkware showers and hand showers by following this guide.

 

Assemble Your Equipment And Supplies.

It is essential to prepare all of your tools and materials before beginning the installation. This checklist will help you get started:

· An adjustable wrench, 

· A flathead or Phillips screwdriver, 

·  Plumber's putty or silicone sealant, 

· Safety goggles, 

· A bucket (to catch any water),

· A Linkware shower or hand shower kit

 

The process will run more smoothly and without interruptions if everything is available.

 

First, Turn Off The Water Supply Safely!

Make sure your bathroom's water supply is off before beginning to install your Linkware shower or hand shower. To stop the water flow, find the shut-off valves, which are often located next to the water heater or beneath the sink, and turn them clockwise. To release any residual pressure and remove extra water from the pipes, it's a good idea to open the tap.

 

Take Out The Outdated Shower Fixture 

It is necessary to remove the existing shower or hand shower before replacing it. Disconnect the old fixture's water supply lines using your adjustable wrench. Make sure you have a bucket on hand in case any water spills. The fixture can be unscrewed from the wall after the water supply has been cut off. A little gentle persuasion with a screwdriver can help if it's obstinate.

 

Get The Installation Area Ready

It's time to get your new Linkware shower ready now that the old fixture has been taken out. Examine the plumbing to make sure there are no corrosion or leaks. If everything appears to be in order, you can use a cloth to wipe away any debris or outdated sealant.

 

Install The  Linkware Showerhead  

Observe the guidelines provided by the manufacturer for your Linkware shower kit. First, cover the water supply pipe's threads with Teflon tape. This aids in producing a waterproof seal. The Linkware showerhead should then be screwed onto the pipe. Make sure the screws are tight but not so tight as this can harm the threads.

Make sure the showerhead is straight by using your level. When installing a hand shower, make sure the mounting bracket is at a comfortable height and fasten it to the wall in accordance with the directions.

 

Attach The Hand Shower

Connect the flexible hose to the water supply connection and the hand shower unit if you're adding one. To stop leaks, cover the threads with Teflon tape once more. Use your wrench to tighten the connections, being cautious not to over-tighten.

 

Check For Leaks

Now that everything is linked, it's time to restart the water supply. Check for leaks near the connections by slowly opening the valves. Turn off the water supply once more, tighten the fittings and check again if you see any. Leaks must be fixed before you're finished.

 

Finishing Touches

You can add any final touches after you've made sure there are no leaks. Follow the directions to install any decorative trim or covers that come with your Linkware shower kit. To keep water from leaking into the wall, you might also want to put a bead of silicone sealant around the showerhead's base for a more polished appearance.

A simple do-it-yourself project that can improve the look and feel of your bathroom is installing a Linkware shower or hand shower. Without hiring a plumber, you can accomplish a polished finish by following these steps. You'll be enjoying your new shower in no time if you have the proper equipment and a little perseverance!
