Safety first! Ensure your shower is dry and you have a safe footing
Unscrew the existing showerhead by turning it counterclockwise. You should be able to do this by hand but if you need a wrench you will find one inside the accessories kit
Your new Canopy Showerhead comes with a filter already installed and ready to go, no need to disassemble it.
Wrap the threads of your pipe with a layer of plumbers tape included in the accessories kit. You won’t need to use the entire roll provided.
Unscrew the threaded safety cap. Leave the wire mesh gasket securely inside your unit so it will sit between the showerhead and pipe.
Twist the unit, clockwise, onto the pipe until secure. Use the winged tab on your showerhead for leverage to tighten. To avoid over-tightening skip the use of a wrench or tool.
That’s it!
Note: If your previous showerhead was installed with white teflon plumbers tape you may be able to leave it as is and install your new unit over it, skipping the taping step. You should be able to make this determination by sight alone. If you see any discoloration or wear, remove it and follow the steps to replace it.
