Can I mount this unit on a fiberglas shower wall that is smooth &amp; shiny? Better wiith the silicone method or the command strips?

I just used the command strips & even with showering everyday, after almost a year they are still good and tight. No problems at all.

This faucet is intended to be installed like a shower/bath setup. Meaning, rigid 1/2in. copper pipe connected direct to the faucet valve. You would then secure the copper pipe to wall studs. Instructions are non existent for this product. Searching the internet for 'shower valve' installations will lead you in the right direction.

use 3m command products instead. that way no holes in your wall. they are amazing! i even hang pictures with them!

I use 3M Command Strips, size large (cut a bit to fit). Because of the four small bumps on the corners of the back, the back surface does not make contact with the mounting surface, and so one strip of tape is not enough to make contact with both surfaces, so I use two strips (on top of each other) which is enough to firmly attach the doorbell to the mounting surface.

It is possible to use this kit. I did the same size shower as you are doing. What I did was laid it out and was a little short on a couple of the sticks. I took some dry wall cardboard shims and cut them to the proper slope and stuck them where the extra pieces would go. I then applied the mortar and used the trowel to smooth it out. Once I had it to the proper slop I carefully pulled out the cardboard and filled in the slot that it came out of. Sounds hard, but was very easy to do. The extra sticks are expensive, especially if you only need a couple of inches.

I use the velcro command strips. I think they came with hardware - but we move a lot and I don't like to put holes in the walls. The command strips (sold at craft stores or hardware stores) work really really well!!!

Yes and it stays put.My shower is fiberglass and I love it! Its very easy to put up as well.Make sure you give it 24 hours for the silicon glue to attach to your shower wall and you are good to go.You will not be disappointed.Finally no more shampoo bottles falling down.

I wall mounted it using 1/2 hard copper with male pipe thread ends soldered to right angle fittings and attached to the framing with clamps. I had to make sure I ordered the one with 1/2 14 NPT fittings to do this. Very nice part, very solid this way.

Yes, command strips stick well to a textured wall. They don't stick to something as rough as brick though.

I will gladly send photos of my installation (I tried to insert a photo and couldn't, if you know how let me know) I ran into a situation where the new mounting sights where the shower rod attaches to the wall was not at a point where a wall stud was located. I used a screw-in drywall anchor (like the The Hillman Group 41408 Self-Drilling Hollow Wall Anchor found on Amazon)

I don't know since my shower enclosure is fiberglass, the ScotchBrite idea in the previous comment sounds like a good idea. I don't think it would hurt to try it.

It comes with a screw to put in the wall and you can hang it on the screw. I however, used 3M Command Velcro strips. I wasn't sure exactly where I wanted them mounted. It's heavy duty and works great! You apply a velcro strip to the wall and one to the unit. I can change my mind and remove them any time without any damage to the wall. I would recommend this installation.

Definitely, I cut a few inches off mine. Also, the template for placing the TP holder has the wall mounts a little too wide for my taste. That's any fix though, just something to consider.

I used the hanging mount included. Flush mounting would be a little difficult, but just make sure the plate is installed completely or the tamper switch will be tripped.

you need to connect the hot & cold hose at back of the shower panel, then wall mount clamp the shower panel to the wall, silicone the shower panel.

Unfortunately, the included 3M Command Strips don't tend to work well on textured surfaces. They're designed to work on smooth, flat surfaces. If you'd like to know more feel free to email us at support@dockem.com.Thanks,ColbyDockem Support
