Delta Hand Shower Unit
Installation Instructions
Remove Existing Shower Head
Turn the existing shower head counter-clockwise with adjustable wrench or pliers. Use care not to unscrew the shower arm; hold the shower arm secure. Note: If your shower arm has a ball on the end of it, it will not work with this shower unit and will need to be replaced with a standard shower arm.
Install Shower Mount
It is recommended to wrap plumber tape (not included) around the threads of the shower arm only. Hand tighten the large end of the Shower Arm Mount clockwise onto the exposed shower arm threads until tight. Do not use a wrench or pliers.
Your shower is equipped with a Vacuum Breaker, permanently installed in the end of the hose that has a ridged nut. Hand tighten the ridged nut clockwise to the Shower Arm Mount outlet. Do not use a wrench or pliers. If you attach the ridged nut to the hand shower, the Vacuum Breaker will not function.
Note: A Vacuum Breaker is a device that is required by certain code authorities to protect your community’s water supply from the back-flow of water. The Vacuum Breaker usually discharges a small amount of water each time you turn on your shower. It may also drain water when you shut it off. Both are normal conditions – the water is draining, not leaking.
DO NOT TRY TO TIGHTEN OR REMOVE THE VACUUM BREAKER which is permanently installed into the hose. This could cause damage to the mechanism.
Connect Tapered End of Hose to Hand Shower
First, remove the yellow tape from the end of the hose that screws onto the hand shower. Seat the Washer firmly into the Hose nut. Carefully align the threads of the tapered end of the Hose directly to the Hand Shower. Hand tighten – do not use a wrench or pliers. Then place the Hand Shower into the Shower Arm Mount. Rotate the Shower Arm Mount into desired position to hold the Hand Shower.
WARNING:
Plumbing Codes require that shower heads and hand showers provide a small but continuous flow of water (trickle) when in “PAUSE” mode. Because of this continuous flow, in certain circumstances pressure variations in the water line and /or changes in the position of the shower temperature control handle while in “PAUSE” mode could result in dramatic changes to the temperature of the water when the shower head or hand shower is returned to the “ON” position.
ALWAYS point the shower head away from yourself when returning to the “ON” position and feel the water with your hand before resuming your shower to ensure the water flow is not too hot or too cold. DO NOT allow children or others who might not understand this warning to use the “PAUSE” function.
