ASSEMBLY
1. Determine the length of brass NPT nipple
(

)
needed:
a. Place mark on existing shower arm at wall surface.
Unscrew shower arm from elbow in wall.
b. Measure distance from mark on shower arm to end of
shower arm threads. Add

2
" to this measurement, and
then round to nearest

⁄
2
".
Example 1: If measurement = 1
1

2
" = 2
1
⁄
8
",
rounded = 2" NPT nipple—this is the length needed.
IMPORTANT: If shower arm is located in wall above tile/fi-
berglass wall surface you must add the distance from the
sheetrock to face of the tile/fiberglass shower wall to the
above measurement.
NOTE: If supplied 2" nipple (1) is not the correct length based
on above formula, you must obtain the correct size NPT brass
nipple (sold separately), available at most hardware stores.
2. Apply generous amount of Teflon® tape (25) to both ends
of the nipple (1).
3. Hand tighten inlet fitting (2) onto nipple (1), then nipple to
fitting in wall. Use crescent wrench on the inlet fitting to
tighten both connections simultaneously. Continue tighten-
ing until both connections are secure with no leaks.
4. Slide hand shower hanger (9) off shower pipe (7).
5. Slide soap dish (8) onto shower pipe to desired position and
secure with set screw (27).
CAUTION—DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
5. Reinstall hand shower hanger (9) with button pointing up.

8. Slide bottom escutcheon (13) over diverter (12).
9. Loosen set screw (20) on diverter and slide lower mount (15)
into diverter (12).
10. Push top tee (4) over inlet fitting (2) until flush against fit-
ting. Position diverter (12) so shower pipe is plumb (vertical).
11. Mark location of lower mount with pencil.
12. Wall surface must be clean of any residue and completely
dry. Remove covering of two-face tape and reposition
lower mount
(

to mark so the optional mounting holes
are horizontal.
13. Apply pressure to mount for 30 seconds by pushing firmly
against the diverter. To ensure proper adhesion, allow one
hour before using your ShowerSpa and keep area around
the mount as dry as possible for the first 24 hours. Tape will
be fully cured after 24 hours.
