How To Install Wall Rain Shower Set

2025-10-31

A wall rain shower set delivers a luxurious rainfall-like experience while maintaining a clean, minimal aesthetic. Whether you’re upgrading your bathroom or replacing an older fixture, installing a wall-mounted rain shower set is a rewarding project that improves both functionality and comfort.


1. Understand the Components of a Wall Rain Shower Set

A standard wall rain shower set typically includes:

  • Rain shower head (fixed or swivel type)

  • Shower arm (extends horizontally from the wall)

  • Mixer valve or thermostatic valve

  • Diverter (if hand shower or additional outlet included)

  • Hand shower, hose, and holder (optional)

  • Trim plate and control handles

Global Moon Shower sets are designed for easy installation with ½-inch standard plumbing fittings and corrosion-resistant brass or stainless steel construction.

Plumber’s tape (Teflon tape)Sealing threaded joints
Level and measuring tapeAligning fixtures accurately
Silicone sealantWaterproofing wall joints
Screwdrivers and anchorsInstalling wall brackets
Safety gloves and gogglesProtecting hands and eyes

3. Preparation Before Installation

Step 1: Shut Off the Water Supply

Turn off both hot and cold water lines. Open an existing valve to release pressure.

Step 2: Inspect the Plumbing Layout

Ensure that:

  • Hot and cold pipes are correctly placed (usually 150 mm apart).

  • Wall connections are stable and free from leaks or rust.

  • The wall surface is strong enough to support the shower arm and head.

Step 3: Mark Fixture Heights

ComponentRecommended Height from Floor
Mixer valve1000–1100 mm (39–43 inches)
Rain shower arm outlet2000–2200 mm (78–87 inches)
Hand shower holder (if included)1200 mm (47 inches)

Adjust based on ceiling height and user preference. For tall users or high ceilings, extend the shower arm slightly upward.


4. Step-by-Step Installation Process

Step 1: Install the Mixer or Thermostatic Valve

  1. Insert the valve body into the wall cavity.

  2. Connect hot (left) and cold (right) water supply lines.

  3. Use Teflon tape on all threaded joints for leak-free sealing.

  4. Secure the valve body with brackets or screws.

  5. Connect outlet pipes leading to the rain shower and hand shower (if applicable).

  6. Test water flow before closing the wall to ensure there are no leaks.

Global Moon Shower Valves feature temperature stabilization technology, preventing scalding and ensuring consistent performance.


Step 2: Mount the Shower Arm

  1. Wrap plumber’s tape around the wall outlet threads.

  2. Insert the shower arm into the wall fitting and hand-tighten.

  3. Use a wrench to finish tightening, protecting the finish with a cloth.

  4. Ensure the arm extends level and is firmly secured.

Wall arms are typically 12–16 inches long; choose a length that provides comfortable overhead coverage.


Step 3: Attach the Rain Shower Head

  1. Apply Teflon tape to the shower arm’s outer threads.

  2. Screw the rain shower head onto the arm.

  3. Tighten gently — avoid overtightening to prevent damage to the internal threads.

  4. Adjust the shower head angle to center it directly over the user.

Global Moon Shower rain heads feature silicone nozzles for easy cleaning and uniform spray distribution.


Step 4: Install Hand Shower (Optional)

If your set includes a hand shower:

  1. Install the diverter valve (usually built into the mixer).

  2. Drill and fix the hand shower holder or slide bar at the desired height.

  3. Connect the flexible hose to the hand shower outlet.

  4. Attach the hand shower head and test for smooth operation.

A dual setup — rainfall and handheld — enhances usability, ideal for rinsing or cleaning the shower area.


Step 5: Apply Silicone Sealant

Seal around all wall joints and outlet covers to prevent moisture from entering behind the tiles.
Do not block ventilation holes on the valve trim plate.


Step 6: Test the System

  1. Turn on the main water supply.

  2. Check all connections for leaks.

  3. Test both hot and cold flow.

  4. Ensure smooth switching between rain head and hand shower (if included).

  5. Observe water pressure and spray consistency.

If pressure is low, consider installing a Twin Shower pump for balanced and powerful flow.


5. Maintenance and Aftercare

  • Wipe after use: Dry the showerhead and arm with a soft towel to prevent water spots.

  • Descale regularly: Soak the head in a mild vinegar-water solution to remove mineral buildup.

  • Avoid harsh chemicals: Use gentle cleaners only.

  • Check seals periodically: Tighten any loose joints and replace washers when necessary.

With proper maintenance, a stainless-steel or brass rain shower set from Global Moon Shower will last for years without corrosion or leaks.
