FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION OR COMPLETE REMODEL
- A hot/cold mixing valve is required (NOT INCLUDED)
- Nipple should extend 1⁄2″ past finished wall surface.
TOOLS REQUIRED
Adjustable wrench, Phillips screwdriver, pencil, 2.5mm hex wrench, 3mm hex wrench
ASSEMBLY
- Determine length of brass NPT nipple (1) needed:
a. Place mark on existing shower arm at wall surface.
Unscrew shower arm from elbow in wall.
b. Measure distance from mark on shower arm to end of shower arm threads. Add 1⁄2″ to this measurement, and then round to nearest 1⁄2″.
Example 1: If measurement = 1 1/4″, add 1⁄2″ = 1 3⁄4″, rounded = 2″ NPT nipple—this is the length needed.
Example 2: If measurement = 1 5⁄8″, add 1⁄2″ = 2 1⁄8″, rounded = 2″ NPT nipple—this is the length needed.
IMPORTANT: If shower arm is located above tile/fiberglass wall surface you must add distance from sheetrock to face of tile/fiberglass shower wall to the above measurement.
NOTE: If supplied 2″ nipple (1) is not the correct length based on the above formula, you must obtain the correct size NPT brass nipple (sold separately), available at most hardware stores.
2. Apply a generous amount of PTFE Thread Sealant Tape (24) to both ends of the nipple (1).
3. Hand tighten inlet fitting (2) onto nipple (1), then nipple to fitting in wall. Use the adjustable wrench on inlet fitting to tighten both connections simultaneously until both are secure with no leaks.
4. Slide hand shower holder (9) off shower pipe (7).
5. Slide soap dish (8) onto shower pipe to desired position and secure with set screw (25). For model 1077 slide soap dish retainer onto the shower pipe. Slide plastic soap dish onto shower pipe and push soap dish down until flush with retainer.

6. Reinstall hand shower hanger (9).
7. Secure swivel joint onto bottom of diverter body (12). Swivel joint should move freely side to side.

8. Insert shower pipe (7) into top tee (4). Secure with set screw (17).
9. Slide top escutcheon (3) over top tee (4).
HINT—Lubricate escutcheon o-ring; a small amount of soapy water will do the trick.
10. Slide bottom escutcheon (13) over diverter body (12).
HINT—Lubricate escutcheon o-ring; a small amount of soapy water will do the trick.
11. Loosen set screw (20) on diverter and slide lower mount (15) into diverter body (12).
12. Push top tee (4) over inlet fitting (2) until flush against fitting. Position diverter body (12) so shower pipe is plumb (vertical).
13. Mark location of lower mount with pencil.
14. Wall surface must be clean of any residue and completely dry.
OPTION 1: 3M Tape
Remove covering of 3M Tape and position mount on marked locations.
OPTION 2: Glue
Apply glue as indicated in Figure 1, remove covering of 3M tape and position mount on marked location.
15. Apply pressure to mount for 30 seconds by pushing firmly against the wall. To ensure proper adhesion, allow one hour before using your ShowerSpa and keep area around the mount as dry as possible for the first 24 hours. Tape and glue will be fully cured after 24 hours.
OPTIONAL: Secure lower mount with permanent wall anchors. Mark hole locations in lower mount (15). Drill 11/4″ deep holes using 6mm (1/4″) masonry/tile drill bit. Insert wall anchors (16) and secure lower mount with screws (14). CAUTION —LIVE PLUMBING IN WALL
16. Position shower pipe (7) parallel to wall by sliding diverter body (12) on lower mount (15). Secure diverter to lower mount with set screw (20).
