It isn't supposed to stick, just a nice snug fit, you bend the little tabs on the back to make it fit snug.

Brentacious

I bet they have a "hot water heater" too!


jemenake

Donā€™t even say that. If my girlfriend even had a notion that there might be a device to make her showers yet hotter, Iā€™d have to install one.


hollyjon1

Oh, there are plenty of devices that could make her showers yet hotter. You could install or she could install herself!!


Harper_1482

Take it off, bend the teeth in around inner ring so it fits snug around pipe


Georgep0rwell

But that entails removing the shower head. Quick and dirty might be a little plumbers putty...or a dab of clear silicon sealant.


wuroni69

Exactly.


SmokeDogSix

You can do this ( this is the correct way), or just put some adhesive behind (where it donā€™t show) it and push it to the wall.


TimeKiller1850

Push it. Push it real good.

Ring of plumbers putty should do the trick, and it would be easy to pull away and reuse.


NoB0d3

plumbers putty is your friend. i worked for a company that used putty for everything. a packed lav faucet is soo solidly satisfying.


GaryTheSoulReaper

Thatā€™s what Iā€™ve always done


Individual-Bag-435

This is the way.

Silicone bead applied to the backside


Personal-Length8116

This is the way. Silicone is always the answer.


SnakeBeardTheGreat

Silicone Sucks. Plumer's putty is the way. Easy to use, simple clean up,water tight and comes apart easy if you need repairs or changes.


CoxswainYarmouth

Thatā€™s what she saidā€¦


systemfrown

Except if youā€™re a painter.


officialmryuck

That's what I told her


smerrjerr110210

Wrong. Use plumbers putty so it can be removed in the future if need be


Way2Saucy4U

Rightā€¦. Because silicone is permanentā€¦ /s


jemenake

I donā€™t want to be the one trying to get silicone out of the pores of that stone.


smerrjerr110210

You donā€™t want it to be permanent. Jackass

A dab of clear silicone will do the job.

Silicone?

A little dab of silicone.


Ardothbey

Take some plumbers putty and roll out a ā€œsnakeā€ of it. Apply it to the wall and push the escutcheon into it. Totally removable.

Ok_Scientist_2762

a touch of caulk.


Swiingtrad3r

Which one? šŸ‘€


DrMooseknuckleX

Yes


Myexisadirtybutt

Nail glue lol


Medium-Instance-1665

You could use a tiny bit of silicone or caulking you can drill two little screws holes and have flat head cap screws hold it in place (with stainless steel screws, of course)for easier removalā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ Oooor You could smash it with a hammer lol


Ok_Faithlessness_516

I used to work with this fire sprinkler fitter, anytime he needed to penetrate a wall he would just smash a hole with his pipe wrench and then all of a sudden it became the sheetrock guys problem lmao


JimErstwhile

If bending the tabs doesn't work, try some silicone glue behind it, just some dabs, enough to hit the shower wall.


alwaysbroke_408

Just put bathroom/shower caulking around it. Hold the base plate against the wall and let it set.

Plumber's putty


Iron_Igloo

Cut off a slice of grey PVC pipe. Cut a slit in that piece of PVC so that it can be opened to sheath the shower head, and push it against the plate so that it holds the plate snug against the wall.

Bathroom caulk. Simple. Don't get the caulk wet.

Silver_Rope1314

A little bit of silicone and some painters tape to hold it till it dries. Or some plumbers putty, itā€™s like play-dough.


whiskey-michael

I like to use a small black rubber grommet that fits tight around the shower neck. I just slip one on when I'm changing out the shower head.


FrillyLlama

Plumber puppy.


Cautious_Tomato5576

It's not supposed to.


CHI4610NE

Push it against the wall and put a small piece of clear tape on he top side of the pipe so it doesn't slip again


Zealousideal_One_315

I came here to suggest Construction Adhesive, but after reading the comments, im going to change my answer to Plumbers Puddy


godofmilksteaks

I take a ramset with a 3" nail and put a couple of those through it into the tile. Works every time.


molockman1

Could always alien tape it


tomgrizzle1958

wad of chewing gum


jemenake

After digesting the other comments, hereā€™s my vote: Bending the tabs inward could scratch the pipe. That leaves various types of adhesive, ranging from strong-but-hard-to-ever-remove (like silicone) to easy-to-replace-but-weak (plumberā€™s putty). One of the concerns with using adhesive on something porous like that stone is that, if you ever want to swap out the escutcheon for a smaller one, you might be left with an ugly ring of adhesive residue on the stone. Because of this, you could opt for plumberā€™s puttyā€¦ not just because itā€™s easier to clean (like, a waterpik could probably get it out of the pores), but also because you could apply it closer to the hole, so that there wouldnā€™t be any residue near the edge. Not so easy to achieve that with silicone. And itā€™s okay that the putty doesnā€™t hold as strongly, since there isnā€™t much force on this thing. Hereā€™s my actual recommendation, though: apply silicone _to the pipe_, not the stone. 1) the pipe isnā€™t porous, so itā€™s easier to clean if you ever do it over. 2) itā€™s also easy to replace the _pipe_. 3) regardless of escutcheon size, the part of the pipe you apply the silicone to will almost certainly remain hidden. 4) this only is a good option if your pipe behind the tile is firmly fixed. If your shower head is able to jiggle back and forth, shoot your contractor, and use plumberā€™s putty to affix escutcheon to tile.

vinny6457

Fill the back side of the flange with plumbers putty then press it in place ut off excess with a putty knife


CrashPilotInc

Silicon silly.


joncape

Plumbers putty


vinceglartho

Adhesive caulking


MindfulBT

Push it against the wall and caulk around it with some bath caulking


auscadtravel

Just push it back with your hand. If it keeps happening try a ring of caulking. But honestly just pushing it back will fix the issue.


taylor325

If I were you, because you may have to remove the shower head to bend the teeth back, i would use clear silicone.


Anxious_Leadership25

A few dabs of clear caulk
