Installation Guide
Before You Begin
- Safety First: Ensure the main water supply to your bathroom is turned off before starting any plumbing work.
- Tools Required: You will need a pipe wrench or adjustable wrench, and a clean cloth.
- Inspect Existing Plumbing: Ensure your ceiling plumbing is properly secured and has a standard threaded connection for the shower arm.
Step-by-Step Installation
- Prepare Threads: Apply the included plumber's tape (PTFE tape) clockwise around the threaded end of the shower arm that will connect to your ceiling plumbing. Wrap 3-5 times to ensure a watertight seal.
- Attach to Ceiling: Carefully thread the shower arm into the female fitting in your ceiling. Hand-tighten first, then use a pipe wrench to tighten an additional 1/2 to 1 full turn. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the threads or the pipe.
- Position Flange: The decorative flange with its gasket should slide up the shower arm and sit flush against the ceiling, covering the opening. The gasket helps create a seal and prevents water from entering the ceiling cavity.
- Install Showerhead: Apply plumber's tape to the lower threaded end of the shower arm. Then, carefully thread your rainfall showerhead (sold separately) onto the shower arm. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench to tighten an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn the main water supply back on. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks are detected, turn off the water supply and re-tighten the connections as needed.
Usage
Once installed, the Purelux Ceiling Mount Shower Arm functions as a fixed conduit for water delivery from your ceiling plumbing to your showerhead. It is designed for use with standard rainfall showerheads. Ensure your showerhead is securely attached and that all connections are leak-free before regular use.
Maintenance
To maintain the brushed nickel finish and ensure the longevity of your Purelux shower arm, follow these simple cleaning guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the shower arm regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Mild Soap: For tougher spots, use a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Drying: After cleaning, wipe the surface dry with a soft, clean cloth to prevent water spots and maintain the luster of the brushed nickel.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Purelux Ceiling Mount Shower Arm, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water Leakage at Connection Points | Insufficient plumber's tape or loose connection. | Turn off water supply. Disassemble the leaking connection, reapply plumber's tape (3-5 wraps), and re-tighten securely with a wrench. Do not overtighten. |
| Shower Arm Feels Loose | Connection to ceiling plumbing is not tight enough. | Turn off water supply. Carefully tighten the shower arm into the ceiling fitting using a pipe wrench until secure. |
| Flange Does Not Sit Flush | Obstruction or improper installation. | Ensure the shower arm is fully threaded into the ceiling. Check for any debris or irregularities around the ceiling opening that might prevent the flange from sitting flush. |
