Are you looking to upgrade your old, worn out shower arm and flange? Whether it's just really beat up looking, or you want a different style/length, a shower arm replacement is key to any shower upgrade.
And if you never changed a shower arm pipe before, you may have your hesitations. Unlike a shower head installation, the shower arm pipe is threaded into the wall which can look intimidating. But it's actually super easy!
In this video, I'm going to show you how to replace your shower arm and flange in less than 5 minutes!
I'll be using the highest quality shower arm and flange on the market. And I've used a lot! Trust me, this one is expensive but it's worth the money. Why have a really nice shower head and not have a nice shower arm to mount it on to?

The shower arm is made from very hefty brass and the flange is really thick gauge brass which is super rare. What I especially love about this shower arm set is that the flange has a set screw to tighten it down onto the shower arm so it doesn't move around. If you've ever had the flange sliding around on your shower arm, you'll find this very important.
Now, here are the steps to installing your shower arm and flange.
1. Remove your existing shower head
2. Use a utility knife to separate any silicone or plumbers putty from the flange so it's not stuck to the wall.
3. Insert a screwdriver into the hole of the shower arm for leverage
4. Unthread the shower arm counter-clockwise using the screwdriver
5. Take the new shower arm and slide the flange over it
6. Wrap both ends of the shower arm threads with Teflon tape, getting a heaping amount on there. Close to 10 turns
7. Guide the shower arm into the hole in the wall to find the threads
8. Reinsert the screwdriver into the hole of the shower arm
9. Thread the shower arm into the wall by rotating the screw driver in a clockwise motion
10. When it starts to get tight, go around one last turn and square the shower arm up in your shower
11. Slide the flange so it's flush against the wall
12. Tighten the set screw down
13. Seal the edges with silicone
14. Finished!
