Installation should be in accordance with local plumbing and electrical codes.
FLUSH ALL PIPES THOROUGHLY BEFORE INSTALLATION.
STEP 1 - ROUGH IN (Piping & Anchor Plate)
● Rough-in 1/2" (12.7 mm) copper piping to shower
head as recommended in Fig. 1. It is suggested
to install the showerhead on a smooth flat
surface. Ensure the 1/2" (12.7 mm) copper
piping is properly braced. It is critical that the
copper pipe is square to the finished wall. Bring
the 1/2" (12.7 mm) copper piping through finished
wall a minimum of 1½" (38 mm). Test fit shower
anchor plate to ensure it installs flush to finished
wall before soldering or permanently fixing pipes
into place (see Fig. 2). (Note: Copper piping and
fittings are supplied by others.)
● Once the showerhead copper pipe is roughed in
and rigid, use the anchor plate slots as a
template to mark out the mounting hardware
locations. It is suggested that the anchor plate
be fastened in four (4) locations minimum.
Choose an appropriate mounting hardware style
based on the finished wall material the anchor
plate is being mounted to. The anchor plate slots are designed to suit 3/16" (4.8 mm) diameter fasteners. Note: The fastener head height
can be a maximum of 3/16" (4.8 mm). Note the arrow on the anchor plate indicating the UP direction. Mark and drill the required holes for
the hardware and anchors chosen (see Fig. 2). (Note: Mounting hardware is supplied by others.)
● Note that the anchor plate requires soldering to the copper pipe to create a waterproof seal. Ensure that before fastening the anchor plate
to the finished wall, that flux has been applied to the copper pipe and mating anchor plate bore. After flux has been applied and anchor
plate reinstalled, you may now fasten the anchor plate to the finished wall ensuring the arrow on the anchor plate points in the UP
direction (Fig. 2).
● Solder the 1/2" (12.7 mm) copper pipe to the anchor plate. This must be a watertight joint. Cut excess copper pipe off flush to 1/4" (6.3
mm) maximum past the face of the anchor plate (Fig. 2).
● It is suggested to place a small bead of silicone around the anchor plate ring, as well as silicone the remaining slot opening to ensure a
100% seal (Fig. 2).
STEP 2 - TRIM (Showerhead Installation)
● Install O-ring onto anchor plate O-ring groove; wipe
excess grease from bag onto the mating showerhead
bore and O-ring (Fig. 3).
● Install showerhead by slowly pushing the showerhead
onto the anchor plate holding the showerhead rotated
slightly at the 10 o'clock position (Note: if you feel excess
resistance, remove the showerhead and add additional
lubrication and attempt again). Once the showerhead is
installed fully on and flush to the finished wall, continue to
push in and rotate the showerhead back to the 12 o'clock
position. As you rotate the showerhead back to the 12
o'clock position, you should feel the anchor plate truss
screw engaging the tab of the anchor plate. The shower-
head can be adjusted tighter to the finished wall by
lowering the height of the anchor plate adjustment screw.
This may take an attempt or two to fine tune to the desired
fit. It is suggested that the showerhead should be flush
and tight to the finished wall.
● When the showerhead is at the 12 o'clock position, the lower hold down screw counter bore and anchor plate holes should align. Install
the hold down screw and hand tighten. DO NOT over torque.
● Install the shower spray plate using the shower plate screw and torque to 50-60 in-lbs (Fig. 3).
