Safety Information
Always observe the following safety precautions:
- Ensure the main water supply is turned off before beginning any installation or maintenance.
- Use appropriate tools and wear safety glasses during installation.
- Do not overtighten connections, as this may damage the product or plumbing.
- If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified plumber.
Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your handheld shower wand:
- Prepare the Area: Turn off the main water supply to your shower. Clear the area around your existing shower arm or wall outlet.
- Remove Old Fixture (if applicable): Carefully unscrew your old shower head or handheld wand from the shower hose or wall mount.
- Prepare Threads: Clean the threads on your shower hose or wall mount. Apply plumber's tape (PTFE tape) clockwise around the threads for a watertight seal.
- Attach Shower Hose to Wand: Screw the Moen 154305NL handheld shower wand onto your existing shower hose. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to tighten an additional quarter turn, being careful not to overtighten.
- Mount the Holder (if applicable): If your setup requires a new wall mount or slide bar, follow the instructions provided with that accessory to securely install it. Ensure it is at a comfortable height for all users.
- Test for Leaks: Turn the main water supply back on slowly. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks occur, turn off the water, re-tighten the connection, and re-test.
