DIY shower installation

To install and connect a shower in your house is not such a difficult task, it is quite possible for everyone. We will immediately move on to the description of this process.

For an independent installation of the cab, you will need a whole set of tools: a ruler, roulette, plumb, level, pencil, drill, saw, screws, dowels, rails, construction pistol, silicone-mix and tightening fum.

First, you need to qualitatively collect the pallet tray. The pallets are equipped with special legs, which are installed in a certain position using the level, and twisted by nuts. Next, it is necessary to fix the drain hose. One end is attached to the pallet, the other goes into the drain hole in the sewer. It is necessary to check the reliability of the connecting gasket, if necessary, use a sealant for a more durable connection. It is very important, if you are uncertained in your abilities and qualifications, then for such work it is better to use plumbing services.

The shower cabin should be connected to the tee for cold and hot water. You need to take care of the presence of a tee in advance. For more thorough sealing the joints of the tee, it is better to use special sealants. Also, it is necessary to conduct a separate outlet for the shower cabin in advance. But it must be remembered that the shower is a place with high humidity, and this must be taken into account when installing a socket. It is desirable that the connection point is behind or side of the cabin. When installing, it is important to make sure that the socket does not pull its wire.

The assembly and installation of the walls and doors of the cabin in each case have their own characteristics, which depend on the model and the manufacturer. However, the main rule is unchanged in any situation: first of all, it is necessary to collect the walls and ceiling of the cab, and then engage in the door.

Now we connect the drainage system. This requires water hoses with special threaded joints. If there are no one, it is better to buy new ones in the store. As practice shows, this provides greater reliability in the future, when the cabin is already connected.

Now we are waiting for the sealants to dry, and to check the quality of the installation, we turn on the water under the weak pressure. If the water leaks in some places, it is necessary to re-seal the joints of the tee.

This is a general technology for connecting a shower cabin, in each individual case there may be its own characteristics and its own algorithm for installation actions. At first glance, the connection process seems difficult, but in reality everything turns out to be much simpler.
