Are you inexperienced when it comes to doing handyman tasks around your home? Well you'll be pleased to know that installing a flexible, handheld shower head is a rather simple project that can be performed even by novice do-it-yourselfers.

Make sure to clean any buildup of residue on the showerhead threads by wetting them with vinegar. Wipe any residue from the surface and dry it with a paper towel. Now let the threads dry over a period of 15 to 20 minutes. Grab a hand-held hose attachment and read it over the outlet pipe threads. Slowly screw the hose in place over the Teflon coated threads.
