Gather Your Tools and Materials
Before you begin, gather the necessary tools and materials: adjustable wrench, screwdriver, plumber’s tape, pipe cutter or hacksaw, spirit level, and the shower mixer kit.
Turn Off Water Supply
Locate the main water supply valve and shut it off to prevent leaks. Open the existing shower faucet to release any remaining water.
Remove Existing Fixtures
Use a screwdriver to detach the old shower faucet and handles. If needed, use a pipe cutter or hacksaw to remove protruding pipes.
Prepare the Shower Mixer
Read the manufacturer’s instructions. Assemble the shower mixer components and use plumber’s tape on threaded connections for a tight seal.
Position and Secure the Mixer
Ensure the mixer is level on the wall. Mark screw holes, drill pilot holes if necessary, and secure the mixer with provided screws.
Connect Water Supply
Attach hot and cold water supply pipes to the corresponding inlets on the shower mixer. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten connections securely.
Test for Leaks
Turn on the water supply and test the mixer. Check for leaks around connections and tighten fittings as needed to eliminate leaks.
