How to Install a Hand Held Shower Head?

2026-01-26

hand held shower head offers exceptional flexibility and convenience, enhancing your shower experience with adjustable angles, targeted water flow, and easy cleaning access. Whether upgrading an existing shower or installing one for the first time, the process is simple and requires minimal tools. With precision-engineered fixtures from LODECE, installation becomes faster, leak-free, and long-lasting.


1. Understanding the Hand Held Shower Head

A hand held shower head is a versatile fixture connected to a flexible hose, allowing users to direct water flow where it’s needed. It can be mounted on a fixed bracket or integrated with a wall bar for adjustable height. Premium versions from LODECE feature multiple spray modes, anti-limescale nozzles, and chrome or matte finishes for durability and elegance.

Unlike traditional fixed shower heads, hand held models are designed for functionality—perfect for families, seniors, and modern bathrooms seeking comfort and practicality.


2. Tools and Materials You’ll Need

Before beginning installation, prepare these items to ensure a smooth process:

Tools / MaterialsPurpose
Adjustable wrenchTighten or loosen fittings
PTFE (Teflon) tapeCreate watertight seals
Soft cloth or towelProtect metal surfaces from scratches
Replacement washer (optional)Ensure proper sealing
Hand held shower kitIncludes hose, head, and bracket

3. Step-by-Step Installation Process

Step 1: Turn Off the Water Supply

Before removing any fittings, make sure the shower valve is fully closed to avoid accidental splashing.

Step 2: Remove the Old Shower Head

Wrap a cloth around the old fitting to prevent damage, then loosen it using an adjustable wrench. Unscrew counterclockwise until the head detaches from the shower arm.

Step 3: Clean the Threads

Remove any leftover tape, debris, or mineral deposits from the shower arm threads. A clean connection ensures a tight, leak-free seal.

Step 4: Apply PTFE Tape

Wrap PTFE tape clockwise around the shower arm threads 3–4 times. This provides a watertight seal and prevents leaks after installation.

Step 5: Attach the Mount or Diverter

If your hand held shower includes a wall-mount bracket or a diverter, screw it onto the shower arm first. Hand-tighten, then secure lightly with a wrench—avoid overtightening, which can damage threads.

Step 6: Connect the Hose

Attach one end of the flexible hose to the mount or diverter and the other end to the hand held shower head. Most connections are hand-tightened; ensure both washers are properly seated.

Step 7: Test for Leaks

Turn on the water gradually and inspect all joints. If small drips appear, tighten the connections slightly or add an extra layer of PTFE tape.


4. Optional: Mounting a Wall Bracket

For adjustable height and hands-free use, install a wall-mounted holder:

  1. Mark the Position: Choose a comfortable height on the wall.

  2. Drill Holes: Use a ceramic drill bit if mounting on tiles.

  3. Insert Anchors: Securely fix the bracket using screws and anchors.

  4. Attach Holder: Slide the shower head holder into position and tighten.

A properly installed bracket provides ergonomic flexibility and stable support for the shower head.


5. Maintenance Tips for Longevity

  1. Clean the Nozzles Regularly: Gently wipe the silicone jets to remove limescale buildup.

  2. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Use mild soap solutions to maintain the surface finish.

  3. Check Washers Periodically: Replace worn washers to prevent small leaks.

  4. Wipe Dry After Use: Helps maintain a polished, streak-free appearance.

With routine maintenance, a hand held shower head can perform flawlessly for many years.
