1. Avoid Over-Tightening Connections
- Why: Over-tightening can damage the threads, connectors, or internal components, leading to leaks or breakage.
- Tip:
- Hand-tighten all connections until they are snug. Avoid using tools like wrenches for additional tightening unless absolutely necessary.
- If you notice a leak, apply additional plumber’s tape instead of over-tightening.
2. Ensure the Water Supply is Completely Turned Off
- Why: Working with an active water supply can result in accidental water sprays, potential flooding, or injuries.
- Tip:
- Locate the main water valve for your shower and turn it off completely before starting the installation.
- After turning off the valve, turn on the shower briefly to release any residual water in the pipes.
Additional Safety Tips
-
Keep the Installation Area Dry:
- Use a towel or cloth to dry the area around the shower arm and floor to prevent slipping or accidents.
-
Wear Protective Gloves (Optional):
- Gloves can help improve grip and protect your hands from sharp edges or tools.
-
Avoid Overstretching or Climbing:
- Use a sturdy step stool if needed, and ensure it is placed on a flat, stable surface.
