Step 3 · Remove the Old Shower Valve

This is the step most people slow down on. Take it one move at a time — there’s no rush, and you can rewind the clip as many times as you need.

Identify your valve type and its retaining mechanism (screws, clips, or retaining nut). Carefully remove the retaining mechanism and gently extract the old valve. If you have copper pipes and are uncomfortable soldering, opt for a compression fitting replacement valve.
