Re: How to remove an old showerhead?

Hello @Danielle22

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's a pleasure to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about your shower head.

 

It's great to hear that you've got yourself a new shower head. The particular shower head you have at the moment is held in with a grub screw. Now that you've removed it, you'll need to hold on to the pipe with two hands and pull it up. The only thing holding it in place is an O-ring. Please be careful not to damage your ceiling when pulling the pipe out. 

 

When you've pulled the pipe out you can then begin to unscrew the rest of the assembly. Please make sure to use Kinetic 12mm x 10m Pink Premium Thread Seal before you screw on your new shower head.

 

Please keep us updated with your progress, we look forward to seeing your new shower head attached and ready for use.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

 

Eric
