I. Precautions Before Product Installation
Before installing the vintage gold concealed shower set, it is necessary to confirm whether the structure of the bathroom wall is suitable for concealed installation. This set requires embedding pipes and control devices into the wall, so the wall needs to have sufficient thickness and load – bearing capacity and cannot be a hollow brick or lightweight partition wall. At the same time, clarify the waterway layout in the house, especially the positions and directions of the cold and hot water pipes, to avoid conflicts during installation. In addition, products produced by Chinese faucet factories usually come with detailed installation instructions. Be sure to read them carefully before installation to understand the product features and installation precautions.
II. Required Installation Tools
To install the vintage gold concealed shower set, the following tools are required: electric drill, level, wrench, tape measure, Teflon tape, angle valve, etc. The electric drill is used to drill holes in the wall, the level ensures horizontal installation, the wrench is used to tighten the pipe fittings, the tape measure is used to measure dimensions, the Teflon tape enhances the tightness of the joints, and the angle valve controls the water flow.
III. Preparation Steps Before Installation
First, turn off the main water valve at home and empty the remaining water in the pipes to avoid water leakage during installation. Then, mark the installation positions of each component on the wall according to the product installation drawings to ensure accurate positioning. Next, check whether all accessories are complete, including the overhead shower, handheld shower, faucet, control panel, and various pipe fittings. If any are missing, contact the manufacturer for replacement in a timely manner.

- Embedding Pipe Fittings:Use an electric drill to drill holes at the marked positions, embed the embedded boxes of the cold and hot water pipes into the wall. Note that the embedded boxes should be kept horizontal, and the distance between the cold and hot water pipes needs to meet the standard (usually 15 centimeters), and fix them with cement.
- Installing the Cartridge: Install the thermostatic cartridge or ordinary cartridge into the embedded box according to the instructions, ensuring firm installation and correct orientation. The installation of the cartridge is related to the control of water flow and temperature, which is a key step in the installation.
- Connecting the Water Pipes: Connect the cold and hot water pipes to the cartridge, wrap Teflon tape at the joints to prevent water leakage, and then use a wrench to tighten the pipe fittings to ensure a tight connection.
- Installing the Control Panel and Faucet: Fix the control panel on the wall and then install the faucet. Pay attention to avoid scratching the vintage gold plating during the installation process, which may affect the appearance.
- Installing the Shower Heads: Install the large – sized overhead shower and handheld shower. The overhead shower needs to be fixed at a suitable position on the ceiling or wall according to the instructions, and the handheld shower is connected to the faucet through a hose.
V. Usage Testing and Inspection Key Points
After the installation is completed, turn on the main water valve and check whether there is any water leakage at each connection. You can use a tissue or dry cloth to wipe the joints for detection. Test the various functions of the control panel, such as switching water outlet modes and adjusting water temperature, to ensure that the overhead shower and handheld shower discharge water normally and the water flow is uniform. At the same time, check whether the thermostatic control system can precisely adjust the water temperature. If any abnormalities occur, troubleshoot the problems and solve them in a timely manner.
VI. Common Installation Problems and Solutions
- Water Leakage Problem: If water leakage is found at the connection, it may be due to insufficient wrapping of Teflon tape or loose pipe fittings. You can re – wrap the Teflon tape and tighten the pipe fittings.
- Poor Water Discharge: It may be that impurities in the water pipes are blocking the flow. You can remove the shower head or faucet for cleaning, or check whether the cartridge is working properly.
- Thermostatic Malfunction: For models equipped with a thermostatic system, if the thermostatic function fails, check whether the battery is dead (if there are battery – powered components), or contact the manufacturer’s after – sales service for professional maintenance.
VII. Safety Tips and Maintenance Suggestions
Pay attention to electrical safety during the installation process and avoid water contact with tools such as electric drills. When using, avoid frequently adjusting the water temperature or operating the control panel with excessive force to prevent damage to the components. In daily maintenance, regularly wipe the components with vintage gold plating with a soft wet cloth to prevent the accumulation of water stains and dirt. Avoid using acidic or corrosive cleaning agents to prevent damage to the plating. If not in use for a long time, it is recommended to close the angle valve and empty the water in the pipes to extend the product’s service life. The vintage gold concealed shower sets produced by Chinese faucet factories are of excellent quality. Through correct installation and maintenance, their beauty and performance can be maintained for a long time, adding a unique noble charm to the bathroom.
