Step 4 · Install the New 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.

Install the new shower valve, using compression fittings if possible. Ensure proper alignment and securely tighten the compression nuts. If soldering is needed and you lack experience, call a licensed plumber. Apply plumber's putty to the valve base for a watertight seal.
