1. First, carefully read the shower installation instructions;
2. Measure the dimensions left, right, up, and down to determine the optimal position for installing the shower head;
3. Mark the suitable installation height for the shower on the wall based on the specific height;
4. Drill holes in the wall at the marked positions;
5. Tighten the circular base cover from the accessories onto the wall with screws, ensuring it is fully secured to prevent the shower head from falling off during future use;
6. Install the shower rod onto the wall by first securing the upper mounting point, then fixing the lower position;
7. After ensuring all the internal network angle screws at the fixed points above are fully tightened, proceed with fine adjustments;
8. Slide the shower hose onto the shower head and tighten it, then install the handheld shower.

Shower Installation Precautions:
(1) Determine the installation height of the shower head. Shower heads are mainly divided into recessed and surface-mounted types. For recessed shower heads, the center of the concealed wall outlet should be 2.1 meters above the ground, and the center of the shower switch is preferably 1.1 meters above the ground. For surface-mounted shower heads, the height is typically measured from the water surface, with the optimal installation height being 2 meters above the ground. During actual installation, adjustments can be made based on the height of family members.
(2) Protect the hardware such as faucets. When tightening the faucet, wrap the screw cap of the faucet with thick fabric or plastic film to prevent the faucet from being scratched by the wrench.
(3) Pay attention to the internal structure of the wall. Mark the locations of water pipes and electrical circuits on the wall surface before installation to avoid drilling holes that may damage the pipes.
(4) Determine the center-to-center distance and height for hot and cold water. The standard center-to-center distance for shower faucets on the market is typically 15 centimeters, with two S-shaped connectors included, allowing for minor adjustments. The error must not exceed 1 centimeter.
Precautions for concealed shower fixtures:
(1) Ensure to pre-install during the water and electricity renovation, meaning purchase the showerhead and deliver it to the renovation site before the construction begins.
(2) Installation must be concealed as per the instructions, with some concealed shower systems requiring special requirements.
(3) Since the faucet valve core needs to be embedded in the wall, the thickness of the bathroom wall must be considered. Avoid embedding the valve core in areas with excessively thin walls, as this may compromise proper pre-embedding. When embedding the valve core, ensure not to remove its protective cover to safeguard the faucet valve core. Additionally, pay attention to the vertical and horizontal orientation of the valve core during pre-embedding to prevent incorrect installation.
(4) Ensure waterproofing treatment is applied to the bottom of the grooved section to prevent leakage or condensation from the shower pre-embedded part, which could affect the wall.
