- Drill: Choose the appropriate type for your wall material, such as a tile drill bit or a standard one.
- Screwdrivers: Various sizes to fit different screw types.

Use a level and pencil to mark the desired location on the wall accurately.
Step 3: Prepare the Wall
If installing on a tiled surface, use a tile drill bit to create guide holes for the screws to prevent cracking. For other surfaces like fiberglass or acrylic, a standard drill bit will suffice. Ensure the area is clean and free of debris:

- Secure the Bracket: Attach the bracket with screws, using a screwdriver to tighten securely.

- Adjust Height: Set the bracket at a height suitable for your household.
- Secure the Bracket: Tighten the fixing screw at the bottom to hold it in place.
Step 6: Connect the Hose

- Connect to the Bracket: Securely attach one end of the hose to the handheld shower bracket.
- Connect to the Outlet: Attach the other end to the wall outlet, tightening with a wrench to prevent leaks.
