2. Setup and Installation

2.1 Before You Begin

  • Ensure you have all necessary components: Raincan Single-Setting Shower Head (included).
  • Recommended additional items (not included): Shower arm (Delta RP46870) and flange (Delta RP51034).
  • Materials needed: Plumber's tape (Teflon tape).
  • Turn off the main water supply to your shower area before beginning installation.

2.2 Installation Steps

  1. Remove Old Shower Head: Unscrew your existing shower head from the shower arm. Use a wrench if necessary.
  2. Clean Shower Arm Threads: Clean any old plumber's tape or debris from the threads of the shower arm.
  3. Apply Plumber's Tape: Wrap plumber's tape clockwise around the threads of the shower arm 3-4 times. This helps create a watertight seal.
  4. Attach New Shower Head: Screw the Delta Rain Shower Head onto the taped threads of the shower arm. Hand-tighten firmly. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads or the shower head.
  5. Adjust Angle (if applicable): If your shower arm allows, adjust the angle of the shower head for optimal water coverage.
  6. Restore Water Supply: Turn the main water supply back on and check for leaks. If leaks occur, tighten slightly or reapply plumber's tape.

Installation typically takes less than 20 minutes and requires no special tools beyond basic household items.
