Questions & AnswersHi! I am Drew Fenn professional home inspector. I am here for Expertvillage.com. Today, we are going to install a shower head and I will show you how and the video is produced by Black Dog Video. You can blackdogvideo.biz on the internet. This is how the switch works as we pull the switch from discharging the water from one side to the other side and if you pull it, it opens up and comes out of the bottom. If it going to be modeled, it comes of the bottom and when we push it down it will come out the front. We are going to do attach the switching valve to the shower head now and first what we have to do is cover the threads with teflon tape. In this case there is excess of lubricant so we can tighten it more easily. The actual seal is going to be the rubber seal here. So the tape is going to be a lubricant so we will tighten it less effort and as we tighten it we will compress the rubber seal and a make a water tight seal for us.
