Setup and Installation
This section provides general instructions for installing your Oxygenics Marvel Chrome Rain Shower Head. For specific plumbing configurations, consult a professional plumber.
Tools and Materials Required (Not Included):
- Adjustable Wrench or Pliers
- Rag or Cloth (to protect finish)
- Thread Seal Tape (Plumber's Tape is included)
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Shower Arm: Ensure the existing shower arm is clean and free of any old thread seal tape or debris. If replacing an old shower head, unscrew it counter-clockwise and remove it.
- Apply Thread Seal Tape: Wrap the threads of the shower arm with the included plumber's tape. Wrap 3-4 times clockwise around the threads, ensuring a tight seal.
- Attach the Shower Head: Carefully screw the Oxygenics Marvel Shower Head onto the taped threads of the shower arm. Turn clockwise by hand until it is finger-tight.
- Tighten with Wrench: Using an adjustable wrench or pliers, gently tighten the shower head an additional quarter to half turn. Use a rag or cloth to protect the chrome finish from scratches. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the shower head or plumbing.
- Check for Leaks: Turn on the water supply and check for any leaks around the connection point. If leaks occur, tighten slightly more or reapply thread seal tape.

Cleaning the Shower Head:
