Answer This Question

A:  Thank you for your inquiry. For threaded connections, the stub out should be 1/2'' or 4'' from the wall. For bare copper pipe, the stub out should be between 2'' and 3''.

    A:  Yes it will work but make sure you instoletion is correct and done forge washers so water don’t leakage and small L key tight well so don’t move around.

    by|Apr 20, 2020

      A:  Yes. Will work for copper tube 2 - 3 inches from wall.

      by|Apr 20, 2020

        A:  Yes, I believe so.

        by|Apr 20, 2020

          A:  Yes it should. Make sure end of copper is burr free and sanded. Yse a touch of lubricant, liquid soap, or similar to aid in sliding tub spout adapter over the copper

          A:  No, I would make sure the plastic portion of the pipe is in all the way.

              A:  I gently toggle the diverter until the water stops coming out of the spout.

              by|Oct 23, 2020

              A:  Sounds like either a broken spout. Mine diverted perfectly without issue. I’d return for another.

              by|Mar 6, 2021

              A:  When water comes out from the back, the problem is probably not the plastic thread, but the rubber o-ring not sealing up well. Try take it off first. Use a sand paper to make the copper pipe smooth, then put it back on. See if this fixes the problem.

                        A:  Thank you for inquiring about a Danco product. No, you will need a copper stub out, to support this metal tub spout.

                        by|May 15, 2019

                          A:  yes

                          by|May 8, 2019

                          A:  Absolutely not. PVC is not allowed inside for potable water. Only from meter to water main riser. Then pex copper or cpvc can enter home. You can use cpvc. As a professional plumber I would recommend copper or galvanized pipe for durability.

                          by|May 8, 2019

                          A:  Yes, but you would need a make adapter on the end of the pvc. Of course pvc pipe in that size is for cold water, cpvc pipe can do hot & cold water

                          by|Sep 17, 2019

                          A:  I'm not sure. If it's the one I've used, the diverter screws on to a a 1/2" threaded nipple. It should say on the package whether it's usable in other ways.

                                A:  In all honesty, it has been awhile since I installed it and can't remember exactly the directions. I do remember there were several variations to the directions, allowing for different types of pipes.

                                  by|Aug 7, 2019

                                    A:  This is quite a versatile tub spout with diverter. The spout will work with a long or short 1/2" or 3/4" threaded stub or a 1/2" unthreaded stub. I believe it will work with your threaded copper. If not, you could;d remove the threaded portion of the stub if it is long enough and mount the spout using the included adapter.

                                    A:  Yes. In fact it has an adapter that allows for a couple of varying length pipes.

                                      A:  If you don't need the diverted because there is no secondary faucet, like a shower head, I think it would be fine. Instead of diverting the flow, pulling up on the diverter would just shut off flow to the spout.

                                      by|May 5, 2023

                                        A:  Functionally, yes, as long as you do not mind the aesthetics of having the diverter as part of the spout. The diverter does not interfere with the spout's function in filling the tub, and never has to be engaged, so you can simply ignore the diverter's existence. (Lifting the diverter knob when water is flowing will cause the water pressure to push a "plug" into the spout's outfall, stopping the water flow out of the spout. The water pressure then redirects ("diverts") the water flow up the pipe to the shower head.) If you have no shower head, there is never a need to lift the diverter knob, and the unit will always function solely as a tub filler.

                                            A:  Yes, you can use this spout without the diverter.

                                              A:  Yes, just leave it in the on position and will work fine. Just threads onto existing pipe

Water poured out the back and made a mess. Returned it and bought a name brand for more money. Took 8 minutes to install the new name brand product and it works perfectly. Won't buy this brand ever again.

                                                  A:  Thank you for your inquiry. That's not a pressure relief valve. The spout you have (not the one pictured above) is intended for use on faucets that do not have a shower riser. The connection that you've got water coming out is where one would hook up a shower hose, so that they can add a handheld sprayer to a tub that wouldn't normally have one. There are two ways to resolve your issue. The simple but less attractive option would be to install a 1/2" NPT cap. The better solution is to change the spout to one such as the 88703, seen here, so that there is not a connection for the water to divert to.
