Installation
For VS-2954 model only. Slip the wall flange onto the shower arm. Apply thread seal tape clockwise onto the
male threads and screw arm into supply piping behind wall. Wrench tighten. Slip wall flange to wall. Check
for leaks.
Remove (turn counterclockwise) your existing showerhead from the shower arm. Clean the shower arm
threads of any debris and wrap thread seal tape in the clockwise direction around threads. Assemble shower
arm bracket to the shower arm. Hand tighten firmly. Assemble the 5’ hose to the bottom of the shower arm
bracket. Hand tighten firmly. Then attach the other end of the hose to the hand held shower. Make sure the
hose to hand held connection seals on the O-ring at the bottom of the hand held to prevent leaks. When
installing the bar, the location is optional but limited to the length of the hose. For installation of the grab/
slide bar, hold the bar against the wall in the chosen location. Using a pencil, mark the drill hole positions (4 in
total) for the lower and upper mounting brackets. If using as a grab bar, be sure to fasten securely to a wall
stud. (Note: upper mounting bracket height is adjustable) To mount the brackets, use a No. 10 (0.1935
inches/5.5mm) masonry drill bit to make a hole approximately 1-3/8 inches (35 mm) deep. Push the plastic
anchors (4 in total) into the drilled holes, unless your mounting to wall studs, where anchors can be omitted.
(Note: plastic anchors may not be suitable for all types of wall construction, seek professional help if in
doubt) Fix upper mounting bracket and then the lower mounting bracket to the wall using four (4) screws
provided. Push the bracket covers over the mounting brackets while paying close attention to cover
orientation for proper placement.
OPERATION
To operate the handheld shower, push the pause button to one side to bring the flow down to a trickle, then
simply push it to the other side to turn the flow back on full force.
MAINTENANCE
The finish of your SPEAKMAN VERSATILE® hand held shower and all the other components can be cleaned
by using mild soap and warm water. Dry immediately with a soft, clean cloth for best results. The flow control
device limits water flow to 2.5 gallons per minute, and is in the base of the handheld. The small orifice in the
flow regulator, resulting in lower flow and a weaker performance, may become clogged. To clean the flow
regulator, simply remove the hose from the hand shower and clean as necessary.
