I have learned to use an old rag (one complete wrap) before apply tools to prevent digging and scratching on the shower head. I do this for removal as well if I am re-suing the shower head. It keeps the nut from looking all raggedy. The tape wrap goes clock wise, it should always go in the same direction as either the nut or the unit you would be attaching. The tape wrap doesn't have to be perfectly lain down on the threads, it's more important to get a few good wraps at least.
Thank you for not editing this to make it look like it was all smooth sailing from the start! I appreciate you for humanizing the project, and for sharing knowledge as well! Nicely done!!
Good learn from your issues. I didn't have a large enough open ended wrench and my adjustable kept sliding. I ended up with a vise grip but used a towel to protect the finish. Came out beautifully. Thank you for posting!
Yes, the Teflon always goes clockwise. He did it right the first time but screwed it up the second time. If you put it on counterclockwise, it’ll unwrap the tape as you tighten the fitting. I’m surprised he didn’t drop the wrench and break a tile!
@@AlbanyCountyFasteners checked there. found it's leaking between the gap on the ring. If I move it it leaks worse. Just writing to show anyone else having the issue
@@DudeCapone I think I had the ring set up backwards on the swivel. I really don't remember. I've moved since then. I do remember going to a hardware store and buying a rubber gasket that was the same size as the ring. That may have fixed my issue, but like I said, I don't remember make sure the ring is installed in the right order
The small shower head water coming out after you pressed off button. Why? Is this normal in Moen shower heads? I don’t see in other brands never leak any water at all i off position(any amount). Please check your shower head and update here. Appreciated your response

At last, a DIY video that shows all the problems we all make, that will make it easier to avoid them!.
One of the most actually useful DIY videos on CZcams

It would have helped to have 4 or 5 more illustrations on how to wrap teflon tap on the threads, and also how to choose an appropriately sized wrench.
No requirement on wrapping tape. You choose. On size of wrench I would use an adjustable wrench.
I actually have this exact shower head. Very nice! Get you one!
i just ordered one of these in mediterranean bronze to match the sink and others nice!!!
Is this guy for real?
UNREAL !!!
i’m far from a handyman!
thanks 🙏🏾
Excellent video. Thank you Bob!
Very welcome
Doesnt the teflon go clockwise
Up to you, it will not matter.

@@bripeck Thank you for this reply! Learned something new today, and made sure I wrapped clockwise!!
Thank you!
How much is new one?
I just installed this but now it's leaking a bit. What did I do wrong?
You followed Bob's directions
I have seen reviews saying this shower head doesn't stay put,too heavy and or is crap???
Wrapped the tape in the wrong direction.
Not at all there is not specific direction two wrap tape.
I'm having leaks at the swivel through the white ring. The white ring is either broke or not on correctly. Have you had this issue before?
No but check the housing for a crack.

I too have this problem, leaks at swivel point. Did you find any solution? Thanks

Appreciated your response
There was water in the head and yes water will leak at the end when you shut the water off.
Get a plumber
Thanks for trying to help but next time before posting a video, learn about how to use a wrench or try editing
Actually the shower head he took off was the better one lot more pressure from that one
Guys doesn’t even know how to put tape on 🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣
Terrible video SMH!
