Using this shower arm is easy. First, make sure the 1/2'-14NPT connection on the shower arm fits well with your plumbing. You can then adjust the height of the showerhead as you like and extend it from the wall to get the most comfortable shower position. When it comes to maintenance, wipe it with a soft cloth regularly to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the metal finish. If you notice any signs of leakage, check the connection points and tighten them gently. Also, make sure not to over - tighten the connections to prevent damage. This shower arm is built to last, but proper care will help it serve you well for a long time.
