I bought a Moen handheld shower and it uses an Ell. I'm nervous about what I"m going to find when I remove the shower arm from the pipe behind the wall, if I can even do that. I'm following the instructions from this web page:
Remove the existing showerhead, if there is one, by unscrewing it from the shower arm using adjustable pliers or your hand. Slide off the escutcheon and unscrew the shower arm from the female threaded fitting behind the wall, using adjustable pliers.
So I'm wondering why I can't just remove the existing showerhead and then screw the hose onto that? I've not got a lot of strength so worrying I might not be able to loosen the shower arm. Or is there a tool that might help with that?
Thanks,
Cheryl
