thankyou so much for the step by step video. I replaced my 'dodgy' shower head for a hand held one.. I am so proud of myself, that I didn't have to call anyone
Thank you for this video! Watched your other one before buying a shower head from bunnings - turns out it’s the same model (Estilo) as the one in this video. Thanks for the information regarding option to leave the old backing plate on (we left it on, though theres a bit of a gap between the new wall bracket and backing plate). Nevertheless we feel we got a good tight seal without a leak so far. Your videos saved the day - it was so easy to replace the shower head!
I had the restrictor in and my temperature only went REALLY hot or REALLY cold, i took that plastic restrictor out and it fixed the problem. Exact same shower head from Bunnings :)
Lol I just got home from visiting my parents, where their town's branch of my gym uses those, only they're all gummed up as well so you get a crappy amount of water. I hate them so much!
Thanks bud. Exactly the shower head I wanted to remove/replace. It might help push your channel along a little if you mention the types (maybe even brands) and definitely the sizes of tools used as I reckon I got lucky finding that Eclipse adjustable (yours is likely the highly sought after 200mm) because my standard, but large, adjustable wrench (spanner) wasn't large enough. Some pausing of this video and the fact I live in Australia helped me get the properly sized tool. Also this particular shower head (caroma retro shower outlet) I feel had a much larger spanner diameter (33.9mm-ish) than some others might have. Bonza vids though, super helpful. Thanks
Thank you Bill!!! I put it up yesterday without watching your video…. The shower head handle wouldn’t fit it the bracket properly and kept falling down. After watching this I realised I had attached the shower hose incorrectly (basically upside down). Quick unscrew and switch around, problem now solved 😊🤗
Thank you. I’m a bit nervous about over tightening the fitting though and cracking the tiles. Is there a safe guide for knowing when it’ll be over tightened?
i see you got that from bunninhgs, i just came back from there to see how we can fit it ourself now i know what do do but still im worried in replacing a 25 years oldd shower rose may not fit the modern today
Urgent question: I have a small gap between my shower fitting and the wall. And the little metal circle that is meant to stay there as a backing and to make the shower look nice is loose. How do I close that gap, I’ve tightened as much as I can
The tread are too long and will have to be cut down to suit ( the pipe coming out of the wall). You can use an angle grinder, hack saw or use a specific tool to cut it down
@@billshowto ok that makes sense, I have another question. Is that why my attachment won’t turn any further. The cord needs to be facing down but right now it’s diagonal. There also isn’t any grooves for a wrench to turn
That’s right , it won’t turn any further because it’s already threaded as far as it can go. As for having it in the correct final position, make sure you apply Teflon ( plumbers tape ) to the threads so you can have it line up correctly
Hey, great job Bill!! I have a question. Can I install a hand held shower head if I have the 3 knob set up instead of the 1 knob that turns hot and cold water off and on? Thanks
I wondered what the spool if white tape was supposed to be used for. The hose I bought came with one line of directions. Sigh .. thank you. Thus is a task a woman can do with proper instruction. It's not brain science, is it.
On ya Bill. You’re a breathe of fresh air mate. Straight to the point and no bullshit. Keep it up!

You’re very welcome 👍
Thank you very much. I just replaced a shower head using your video as a guide. Your instructions were clear and easy to understand 😊
Omg I didn’t even consider that thing about the plumbers tape going clockwise. I’ve learned something today.
This is exactly the one I picked up from Bunnings - thanks so much! I'm replacing an old one that's quite stuck.
thanks for the step by step video, I just installed our new shower and it’s the same brand
Oh man I feel like a pro after watching this. You are such a great teacher
Glad I could help 👍

Really good Bill, clear and easy steps to follow. Thank you.

This is perfect, exactly what I needed! Hopefully I'll get it done sometime this week, but I'm grateful to have a reference to rely on!
Very helpful cheers Bill. I can finally feel like a real man 🛠
Thank you so much that's the exact shower head I want to replace. I hate how small it is and that it's not a handle can't wait to do it now!
You’re welcome 👍

Good on you mate 👏
Thanks hope I have a Ranch and plumbers tape🎉
Thank you. I’m a bit nervous about over tightening the fitting though and cracking the tiles. Is there a safe guide for knowing when it’ll be over tightened?
Thank you for sharing. Quick Q, do I need to turn the main water supply off to do this?
No, you don’t. The water only starts comes when you turn on the tap
@@rashmigoyal1118 thanks. That was my query too.
Thank you so much for your video.
I loved the way you explained it, and it was nice and easy.
Hope you have a stupendous day .
☺

I would love to see a handheld shower head replacement like this with the sliding bar. Not sure if I want to drill into tiles to install the bar.
It’s on my to do list 👍
Thanks mate. This is all I needed.

Does anyone knows the name of that old showerhead?
So useful!!!
Thanks, you’re a legend!
THANK YOU BILL.
Can you please do a video for the replacement of Feltonmix shower mixer to handheld shower head, thank you.
Does the water main need to be turned off?
I need to know this too

Never mind a figured it out lol😂
So helpful, thanks 😊
How many mm is the plumbing tape you used?
Genius mate, thank you.
Great instructions thanks
Hey, great job Bill!! I have a question. Can I install a hand held shower head if I have the 3 knob set up instead of the 1 knob that turns hot and cold water off and on? Thanks
Yessss... going to have a crack tomorrow!!🙃🤞
love it
hey brother, do you think its allg to replace one of those basic all direction show heads with one like this? need that hand held function ay
That can Definitely be done. I’ll be doing a video soon on installing a shower head with a hand held hose connection also 👍
thank you for video 😁👍😁👍😁👍👍👍
Stupid question, did you turn the water off before you did this
Sickunt thanks bro
Great content mate but far out you sound like beau ryan
Awesome! I never knew it was that simple!
Can anyone tell me if Bill had to turn the water off first or it doesn’t matter.
Water main dosnt have to be switched off. As long as the taps are switched off the you can remove the shower head
Thanks, I was wondering about this too
Ok thanks
Hey Bill just confirming something, do I need to turn off the water at the mains to install a new shower?? 😊
As long as the tap is off you don’t have to switch the main water supply off👍
Perfect! I did it and was so easy thanks to your help 😊 Thankyou
What is pipe size standard in Sydney? Are there different sizes? My house was built around 2000, what would be its pipe size?
Mine was too loose, so I gave it one more rotation and cracked the tile 😢
thanks m8
Bills how to. I read it "Bill Shoto" 😂
💜💙🌸👍👍
👍
Help me please
👍

fken champion!
camera keeps moving invest some on getting a good cam bro
I wondered what the spool if white tape was supposed to be used for. The hose I bought came with one line of directions. Sigh .. thank you. Thus is a task a woman can do with proper instruction. It's not brain science, is it.
The plumbers union of australia is now putting out a hit on you for taking away their jobs by showing people how to do it themselves :)
