# How do I install my ShowerStar on a rigid shower rail?

Installing your ShowerStar on a rigid shower rail is a quick DIY process that requires no tools and no plumber. You can have it set up and ready to save water and energy in about two minutes.

## **Watch the installation video**

If you'd like to watch a video instruction, please click[ShowerStar Installation (Rigid Pipe)](https://vimeo.com/1085910228?fl=pl&fe=sh).

## **Installation Instructions**

**1. Prepare the mounting cradle** First, ensure you have selected the correct mounting cradle for a rigid pipe setup.

Take your zip ties and insert one into the **upper slot** on the mounting cradle. Then, insert the second zip tie into the **lower slot**.

**Note:** Pay attention to the orientation of the cradle. The **rounded end** should point down towards the floor, with the **flat end** facing up towards the ceiling.

**2. Attach to the rail** Hold the cradle against your shower rail. Wrap both zip ties around the pipe.

Take the pointed end of each zip tie and insert it into the head of the zip tie, one at a time.

**3. Secure the device** Ratchet both zip ties tight. It is important to ensure the mounting cradle is firmly fixed and does not slide up or down the shower pipe.

**Tip:** Ensure the fit is snug so the device doesn't move during use.
