little bit difficult so I went ahead and I picked up this standard six by inch and a half shower head right it comes with a discussion this setup is actually going to be a little more ideal for this shower the way that you know how low that hole is so what we're going to do here is we're gonna pop that on and then we're gonna get that all secured up we'll get this snugged up just a little bit and then we'll finish tightening once everything behind the wall is good get that slid all the way down to the end as far as we can down there that would just give us a little depth inside of the wall finger on there not the first thread but a little bit after that this is thin stuff five wraps or so because I'm inside the wall I like to add a little Mega lock people always freak out about the Teflon and pipe dope I've talked to numerous plumbers about this though and a lot of them do the same thing so we all do what we do right and we'll take this bad boy that right in there get it started this can be hand this can be tightened the rest of the way whenever this thing is put in place right but right now we've got it to where it's coming out of the wall so let's just leave it like that and go back to the other side
