How to Install a Shower Pin Hole Wall Mount Bracket

If you recently purchased a shower pin hole wall mount bracket, the good news is that installation is simple.

To begin, you’ll need to first locate the studs or secure points in the wall. This is where you’ll want to attach your bracket, as the studs are capable of holding up the weight of your showerhead or handheld shower. You can use a stud finder to locate these points.

Once you find the studs, use a drill to make holes in the studs that match the configuration of your bracket. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions, as the installation process may vary slightly depending on the model you purchased. With the holes in place, line up your bracket and use anchors, such as the included screws with your kit, to secure the bracket to the wall.

Once your bracket is attached, you can insert the pin or other mechanism you were provided with into the bracket. Now, you can place the showerhead or the hand shower on the pin.

Make sure that everything is completely secure before turning on the water. The water pressure can cause a loose screw or poorly attached showerhead to fall during use. Additionally, it is also wise to make sure that the weight and size of your showerhead or hand shower are compatible with the bracket you are using. If not, you could wind up with a drooping shower.
