1. Valve and Trim Installation
The rough-in valve is the core of your shower system. Proper installation is crucial for functionality and longevity.
- Valve Placement and Depth: Ensure the valve is installed at the correct depth within the wall. The recommended depth is 3 9/32" (83 mm) minimum to 3 21/32" (93 mm) maximum. The embedded box should be cut flush with the tile surface.
- Pipe Connections: The valve features standard 1/2" NPT tapered threads for USA and Canada connections. For Europe, G1/2" connections are used.
- Teflon Tape Application: Wrap Teflon tape around all threaded connections for at least 12 turns to prevent leaks.
- Pipe Flushing: Before connecting the inlet pipes to the valve, flush both the hot and cold water inlet pipes for two minutes to remove any debris and prevent blockage.
- Cartridge Alignment: When installing the thermostatic cartridge, ensure the two alignment marks on the cartridge are aligned. This ensures correct temperature control.
- Pressure and Leakage Test: After all connections are made, perform a pressure test to ensure the water pressure is appropriate. Flush the outlet pipes for one minute. Then, insert plugs for a water test to confirm there are no leaks at any joint.

2. Rainfall Shower Head Installation
The LED rainfall shower head requires a ceiling cutout and support framing for secure installation.
- Ceiling Cutout: Create a cutout in your finished ceiling with dimensions of approximately 21 7/8" (555mm) by 14" (355mm).
- Support Framing: Ensure the support framing around the cutout is properly balanced and secure to hold the shower head bracket.
- Water Connections: Connect the water supply lines to the shower head. Wrap Teflon tape around all threaded connections for at least 12 turns to prevent leaks.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the LED power supply to a 110-220V (50/60 HZ) power source. Ensure all electrical connections are waterproof and secure.

3. Handheld Shower Installation
Install the handheld shower holder and connect the hose.
- Holder Placement: After tiling, ensure the distance from the finished tile surface to the brass fitting for the handheld shower holder is 3/4" (20 mm).
- Teflon Tape: Wrap Teflon tape around the threaded connection of the handheld shower holder for at least 12 turns to prevent leaks.
- Hose Connection: Connect the 59" stainless steel hose to the handheld shower head and the wall outlet.

Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your EVERSTEIN shower system, regular cleaning is recommended. Use a soft cloth and mild soap to clean the matte black finish. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For the handheld shower, the touch-clean spray holes can be easily cleared of mineral buildup by gently rubbing them.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your shower system, please refer to the installation video for common setup problems. Ensure all connections are secure and free of leaks. Verify that the water supply is fully open and that the thermostatic cartridge is correctly aligned. For persistent issues, contact EVERSTEIN customer support.
