What happens here

The user installs the remaining fixtures. He applies Teflon tape and pipe dope to the shower arm threads and screws it into the drop ear in the wall, tightening it with channel-lock pliers. He then screws on the shower head. For the tub spout, he applies sealant to a brass nipple and installs it, then caulks around the hole before sliding the tub spout on and tightening its set screw.

What they say

Hide

Comes with an Allen wrench. Fewer out of the tough line. A little bit of make a lock. Take your channel locks. Get it to where it is straight. Shower head. So then use a crest wrench to get this tightened. And now we're going to go with a six inch brass nipple. Get some tough line on here. So we're going to go with some mega lock as well. When inside the wall, I always go with both. Get some tough line put on here. Okay, and so then before we put the tub spout on, let's go ahead and put some calc, some silicone, some plumber's putty, something around this. There's a little hole in the bottom that you'd be able to see a leak if it came out. When we call, we're not going to call that either. And if this gets to be too much, well, grab a little strap wrench, right?
