Step 8 · Check for Leaks

Turn the shower water on and carefully observe both connection points: where the shower arm enters the wall and where the shower head attaches to the arm. Look for any drips, sprays, or seeping water. Let the water run for a minute to ensure the seal holds under pressure. If you see a leak at the shower head, try tightening it slightly. If you see a leak at the wall, you will likely need to shut off the water, unscrew the arm, and re-apply the thread seal tape before reinstalling.
