What happens here

This project provides a clever method for installing a new shower arm without damaging its finish. It involves preparing the threads with tape and pipe dope, hand-tightening, and then using the handles of channel lock pliers for the final secure tightening, preventing unsightly scratches from the pliers' jaws.

Here's a tip if you don't want to scratch up your new shower head insulation. On this joint, when installing the shower arm, I like to go clockwise with my Teflon and pipe dope. Yeah, like that. You just take your new one, stick it in your hole, hand tight, get that going, grab your channel box, don't use the jaws, flip them upside down, use the handle. Yeah, like that. All right, put your handle in there, then just turn until it's straight down and tightened. Yeah, like that.
