Replacing the Damixa shower rail 9309100: no plumber needed

What you need to know before you start

The Damixa shower rail 9309100 is a commonly used part in bathrooms fitted with a Damixa shower set. Before you get started, make sure you've ordered the correct model: check the part number on your old rail or on the packaging of your shower set. Always turn off the water supply first if you'll be working near any pipework close to the rail, even though the rail itself is usually not directly connected to the water line. Take a moment to inspect the mounting brackets before you start unscrewing anything, so you know exactly how to fit the new rail afterwards.

What do you need?

  • Damixa shower rail 9309100 (new part)
  • Phillips screwdriver or Allen key (depending on the mounting type)
  • Adjustable wrench or spanner
  • Tap grease (if needed)
  • A cloth to catch any drips

Step by step

  1. Turn off the tap so no water flows from the shower pipe (there's no need to shut off the main water supply).
  2. Remove the mounting screws or wall plugs holding the old Damixa shower rail to the wall.
  3. Disconnect the coupling between the rail and the shower hose or mixer system using the adjustable wrench.
  4. Take out the old rail completely and check the wall mounting for damage or leftover old sealant.
  5. Loosen the union nut at the top of the vertical rail and slide the old shower hose elbow up and out of the vertical pipe.
  6. Fit the new elbow pipe into the vertical pipe, making sure the rubber seals at the bottom of part 9309100 are properly greased with tap grease.
  7. Reconnect the coupling to the shower hose and tighten it firmly by hand with the adjustable wrench.
  8. Turn the tap back on and check the connection for leaks before using the shower.

If the number doesn't match exactly, there's a chance the mounting points won't line up. Not sure? Our customer service team is happy to help you find the right part.

Do I need any special tools to replace the shower rail?

No, you'll usually only need an adjustable wrench and/or a spanner. These are standard tools you probably already have at home. Extra materials like silicone sealant are only needed if the wall mounting requires it, for example with a tiled wall that has a sealant edge around the old rail.

What should I do if the new rail keeps leaking after installation?

First check whether you've tightened the coupling firmly by hand with the adjustable wrench, since a loose connection is the most common cause of leaks. If the coupling is secure but it still keeps leaking, adding an extra layer of tap grease to the rubber seals can often solve the problem. If the issue persists, get in touch with our customer service team.

Can I return the Damixa shower rail 9309100 if it doesn't fit?

Yes, you can return the part within our standard return period if it doesn't fit, as long as it's unused and complete. Hold on to the packaging until you're sure the rail fits and works properly. Check our returns page for the exact conditions and steps to follow.
Comparing the diagrams carefully will show you whether this elbow fits your tap.
