Step-by-Step Installation Guide
Prepare Your Work Area:
Ensure your workspace is clean and free of any obstacles. Turn off the water supply to avoid any leaks during installation.
Mark the Position:
Use a tape measure and level to mark the position where the shower panel will be mounted. Typically, the shower panel should be installed at a height where the showerhead and controls are easily accessible.
Drill Holes for Mounting:
With your marks in place, drill holes according to the mounting bracket's instructions. Make sure to use the appropriate drill bit for your wall type.
Install the Mounting Bracket:
Secure the mounting bracket to the wall using screws and a screwdriver. Ensure it is level and tightly fastened.
Attach the Water Supply Lines:
Connect the shower panel’s water supply lines to the existing plumbing. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten the connections and plumber’s tape to prevent leaks.
Mount the Shower Panel:
Carefully hang the shower panel on the mounting bracket. Ensure it is secure and aligned correctly.
Seal the Edges:
Apply silicone sealant around the edges of the shower panel to prevent water from seeping behind it.
Test the Installation:
Turn on the water supply and test all the functions of the shower panel. Check for any leaks and ensure everything is working correctly.
