What happens here

Slowly turn on the main water supply valve from the access panel. Check the bathroom sink and the newly installed shower valve and shower head for any leaks. Verify that the hot and cold water functions correctly. Finally, apply a bead of clear silicone caulk around the perimeter of the shower trim plate, making sure to leave the weep hole (drip hole) at the bottom uncaulked to allow any water that gets behind the plate to drain out.

Goal: Verify proper operation and seal the trim plate.

Tools and materials

Caulking Gun — Applying caulk evenly
Clear Silicone Caulk Dap — Sealing the perimeter of the shower trim plate
Damp Sponge — Wiping away excess caulk for a clean finish

Make sure nothing's blowing up here. Oh, yeah. Okay. Make sure that's as hot as it's going to go. It is. All right, guys. We did good. Okay. Now he can adjust this any which way he wants right there and rock and roll. Everything looks good here. We got no drips back here at all. Awesome. This is secure now. Got an access panel there covering it. I got some clear siliconized acrylic here. It's going to look good. All right, folks. There we go. I got my friend hooked up. Right? New shower trim, new shower valve. Now he can finish changing up a couple tiles, routing his shower, and he's going to be taken care of. So, I really hope the videos are helping.
