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.
