2. Replace the Teflon tape on the shower arm thread with new one before screwing in place the shower head diverter. Wind the tape clockwise two to three times in the shower arm thread to ensure a tight fit.

3. Attach the diverter by screwing it to the shower arm thread clockwise until it's tightened and in the correct position.
