How to Change a Shower Head | Step by Step Guide

Before You Begin: What You’ll Need

The first step to prepping your space is to gather the necessary tools for your showerhead installation. Most often, you’ll need:

• Adjustable wrench or pliers
• Plumber’s tape (Teflon tape)
• Cleaning cloth
• Bucket and towels (to catch drips)
• New KOHLER_® showerhead
• Optional: shower arm or flange (if also replacing)

Consult the product manual that comes with your showerhead for any other additional tools required or search KOHLER service parts to find a specific part.
