How to Install Your RBROHANT Shower Faucet: A Complete DIY Guide

Installing a new shower faucet might seem like a daunting task, but with the right tools and instructions, it can be a manageable DIY project that enhances the functionality and aesthetics of your bathroom. The RBROHANT Shower Faucet is known for its quality and durability, and in this installation guide, we'll walk you through the step-by-step process to ensure a successful installation.

Before You Begin

Before you start installing your RBROHANT Shower Faucet, gather all the necessary tools and materials:

• RBROHANT Shower Faucet kit
• Adjustable wrench
• Screwdrivers (flathead and Phillips)
• Plumber's tape
• Teflon tape
• Silicone caulk
• Towels or rags
• Safety goggles
• Level

Step 1: Prepare the Work Area

Turn off the water supply to the bathroom by shutting the valves near the shower or the main water line. Confirm there is no water flow to avoid accidents during installation.

Step 2: Remove the Old Faucet

If replacing an existing faucet, carefully remove old handles, trim, and the valve using appropriate tools. Turn screws counterclockwise to loosen and remove them without damaging surrounding surfaces.

Step 3: Prepare the Valve

Apply plumber's tape tightly and evenly around the threads of the new valve to create a leak-proof seal before installation.

Step 4: Install the Valve

Insert the RBROHANT Shower Faucet valve into the wall, aligning it with the hot and cold water pipes. Use a level to ensure it's straight, then secure it using the included screws or brackets.

Step 5: Connect the Water Supply

Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the valve’s corresponding inlets. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the connections securely, avoiding over-tightening.

Step 6: Install the Trim Kit

Attach the trim kit components—handle, showerhead, and any extras—following the manufacturer's instructions. Secure trim pieces using screws or snap-on methods as specified.

Step 7: Test for Leaks

Turn the water supply back on and check the faucet for leaks. Inspect all connections and areas around the valve carefully. If leaks are found, turn off the water and retighten or adjust as needed.

Step 8: Apply Caulk

Apply a thin bead of silicone caulk around the trim edges to seal gaps and prevent water seepage into the wall. Smooth the caulk with your finger or a caulk tool for a clean finish.

Step 9: Final Checks

Verify all connections are tight, handles move smoothly, and the showerhead is firmly installed. Wipe away excess caulk or water droplets.
