Step 6 · Reassemble the Shower Faucet

This is the step people usually slow down on. Go finger-tight first, then a quarter turn. No rush — replay the clip whenever it helps.

Reassemble all components (trim, handle, etc.) in the reverse order of disassembly. Ensure everything is tightened securely. Applying a bead of silicone caulk around the valve body before reinstalling the trim will help create a watertight seal and prevent future leaks.
