How does one install handheld shower heads?
First you may want to remove any old shower head you have installed currently. Pliers are recommended to do this. Simply grip the neck of the shower head and twist with the pliers. It should pop off. Next you should apply some plumbers tape around the head of the nozzle of the unit. Now attach the new piece to the end of the nozzle and hand tighten it. Then attach the shower hose to the end of the shower mount and finger tighten it. You are now done.

How do you remove a shower water restrictor?
The ones that I am used to are in the shower head. You have to remove the shower head or nozzle using a wrench. The restrictor should be right in the front where it connects to the pipe. It's just usually a small piece of plastic that only allows so much water to pass through. Remove that and you can put the shower head back on. If the fitting leaks you may need to get some teflon tape to wrap around the threads when you put it back on. Have a good shower.
