Can I use pipe dope on my shower head or hand held shower?
Never use pipe dope or plumbers putty to install shower fittings like shower heads, hand held shower head sets or tub spouts. It may react with plastic components causing them to break.
The best way to ensure a leak-free installation is by wrapping the shower arm pipe threads several times with Teflon tape to create a water tight seal.
