Installing a new shower faucet set is one of the most effective ways to upgrade your bathroom’s functionality and comfort. Whether you’re replacing an old faucet or fitting a new one in a renovation project, the installation process requires precision and the right materials. A properly installed faucet ensures reliable performance, prevents leaks, and enhances the overall shower experience.

At Global EMYSA, our shower faucet sets are engineered under German quality standards, designed for easy installation, stable water flow, and long-term durability.

1. Understanding the Shower Faucet Set

A shower faucet set typically includes several integrated components that control water flow and temperature. These may vary depending on whether the system is exposed or concealed, but the key elements include:

• Mixer Valve: Combines hot and cold water.

• Diverter Control: Switches between the showerhead, handheld sprayer, or tub spout.

• Handle(s): Allow adjustment of temperature and pressure.

• Showerhead and Hose: Deliver water to the user.

• Wall Elbows, Mounts, and Connectors: Secure components in place.

All EMYSA faucet sets feature solid brass bodies, ceramic cartridges, and corrosion-resistant finishes, ensuring both function and aesthetics meet professional-grade expectations.

2. Tools and Materials You’ll Need

Before beginning installation, prepare the following tools and materials:

Tip: EMYSA’s universal G1/2” and G3/4” fittings make installation compatible with most international plumbing systems.

3. Step-by-Step Installation Guide

Step 1 – Shut Off the Water Supply

Turn off both hot and cold water lines at the main valve. Open the old faucet to release any remaining pressure.

Step 2 – Remove the Old Faucet (If Replacing)

Loosen the existing faucet fittings using a wrench. Detach the hoses and wall mounts. Clean the threads and remove any old Teflon tape or sealant.

Step 3 – Position the New Faucet Set

Mark the correct mounting points on the wall using a level. The mixer should align horizontally with the showerhead position. For concealed models, ensure the valve depth matches your wall thickness.

Step 4 – Connect the Water Lines

Apply plumber’s tape to all threaded joints. Attach the EMYSA mixer valve to the hot and cold pipes. Tighten gently to prevent cross-threading.
Check that the hot water line connects to the left side and the cold water line to the right, following the standard orientation.

Step 5 – Install the Shower Components

Attach the riser pipe, overhead shower arm, and handHeld Shower bracket. Connect hoses securely, ensuring the rubber washers are seated properly.

EMYSA’s precision-engineered diverters allow effortless switching between water outlets while maintaining even pressure.

Step 6 – Seal and Test

Apply silicone sealant around fittings and wall openings. Restore the water supply and test each function—hot, cold, and diverter.
Check for leaks, adjust the temperature control, and ensure stable flow from both shower outlets.

4. Installation Differences: Exposed vs. Concealed Faucet Sets

EMYSA provides both installation types. The exposed series suits fast renovations, while the concealed series fits modern bathrooms seeking a clean, seamless finish.

5. Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Skipping Teflon tape: Leads to leaks at joints.

• Over-tightening connections: May crack brass fittings.

• Incorrect alignment: Causes uneven spray and poor aesthetics.

• Ignoring water pressure compatibility: May affect flow performance.

• No waterproofing: Gaps around wall fittings can lead to hidden leaks.

To avoid these issues, follow installation instructions carefully or consult a licensed plumber if unsure.

6. Maintenance After Installation

Proper maintenance ensures long-term performance and durability:

• Wipe the faucet and showerhead after each use to prevent scale buildup.

• Clean aerators and nozzles monthly with a vinegar-water solution.

• Inspect rubber seals annually and replace if worn.

• Avoid abrasive cleaners that damage finishes.

All EMYSA faucets undergo 500,000 operation cycle testing and 96-hour salt spray corrosion resistance tests, guaranteeing superior performance even in high-humidity environments.
