Installation
1. Determine length of brass NPT nipple (13, 13A)
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

" X 1
1
⁄
2
"nipple (13) provided is not
correct length based on above formula, you
can attach one or both
3

choice. Important: Supply line must be cut
clean and square to ensure no leaks - take your
time, maybe even practice higher up on hose!
8. Slide compression nut (9) onto supply line (23).
9. Push supply line (23) over barbed portion of
90° fitting (8) until it bottoms against base of
threads.
10. Slide compression nut (9) onto 90° fitting (8)
and securely tighten.
11. Remove face of tape (14) from mounting plate
(12) and slide plate over nipple (13) through
predetermined hole A, B or C. Level plate
before adhering to wall.
12. Push retaining washer (11) over nipple (13)
securing mounting plate (12) to wall and/or
