Customer Reviews for DANCO 5-1/2 in. Decorative Tub Spout in Chrome

The finish stated wearing off almost immediately. And then the internal corrosion made the diverter nearly impossible to pull up. Save yourself the time and expense of replacing this in a year by simply not purchasing it in the first place. I replaced it with a Kohler K-15136-CP and expect that fixture to last substantially longer.

The product says easy install, but I'd anything but if you are attempting to place it on a slip pipe. The method to mount it requires attaching a threaded plastic pipe, but to get it right the screw will cause damage to your pipe. Do not buy unless you want to also pay for repairs.

Package said it would fit 4" stub with treaded end. Unfortunately, spout would not tread fully onto stub so spout would not meet the shower wall.

I purchased this along with their handle, overflow plate and drain all in brushed nickle - this faucet is much shinier and does not match at all. See photo.

Very updated Style/ Vintage Design. Very Dummy proof to Install.

Despite it looking lovely, and feeling sturdy, the inner plastic workings are a great design flaw. It literally sprayed water out everywhere until enough pressure built that it turned the diverter on itself. Its possible i got a dud, i havent decided yet if i am going to exchange or just go with something different. If i do get a new one and it works better i will update my review accordingly,

Spout shot right off the bathtub when we turned it on. It was installed by a plumber too, I was informed that this spout is a slide on/off type of installation and is not threaded. Buyers beware.

This spout was easy to install and worked great at a reasonable price.

Much better then the one that was on there. pjw

Very easy installation. My first time doing any sort of project like this. One of the instructions state that the stub out nipple should be 4" from wall - ours is. However, once tightened, there is still a significant gap between the spout and the wall. Now I will have to purchase some sort of filler (expanding foam stuff), otherwise water will leak to the back wall. Disappointment #2: there is a tiny leak from diverter. I purchased this slightly more expensive, more heavy duty spout thinking that it would be better quality than the generic spout we originally had. Wrong, the leak was the reason we replaced the spout to begin with.

The sprout leaks after installation. Installation requires 20 minutes

This replaced a plastic spout. Much better! The pull lever to send water to the shower head has a solid feel to it. I ignored the new fangled short cut/slip fitting mount and did it the old fashioned way, with threaded fittings.

This Danco faucet can be used on 4 different connections. 1/2" copper pipe slip connection, 1/2" male threaded connection with short stub out connection, 1/2" male threaded connection with long stub out nipple and 3/4" male threaded connection with short stub out nipple. Directions are included for each connection and are straight forward. Easy to follow directions and not too time consuming unless the pipe coming out of the wall is crooked. Then you have to call a plumber. Nice quality. I was surprised by the nice weighty feel of this faucet. Water flow is great. Pull up for shower redirect works very well. It is quite attractive. The satin nickel finish is very pretty. It is larger than normal so it looks perfect in the master bathroom which has a very large tub!

I don't know if it was my lack of skill, or a problem with the product, but I could not get the faucet to go flush to the wall the way the old one did. I had to caulk to seal a gap. It looks nice and performs well, however.

My husband installed the spout in under two minutes. We've had it for about six weeks and it works great! Our old spout had major problems with the diverter/stopper not working and was always difficult to lift up until it finally broke. This one is effortless and is SO MUCH better than the last one! I would definitely recommended this product. Please note too: if you have hard water, chrome can become spotted or pitted over time. However, wipe down the water spots off the metal after showers and it keeps it looking like brand new chrome!

Installation was difficult. The instructions stated that the copper pipe must be between 2 and 3 inches from the wall. Wrong. In order for this unit to fit flush with the wall without gaps is only if the pipe was 2" or less. I had to cut my copper pipe to 2 inches to work. The slip fitting was also difficult to install which required using a pair of Channel locks and an aggresive twisting motion which really marred the plastic, and this was with silicone lubricant to help aid it. The fiinish is beautiful, but because it is chrome plated with "some metal" inner construction, who knows how long this will last. If you are on a strict budget, this might be for you but if not, spend $30 bucks more for a brand name unit that is made from solid brass and is hand polished to a chrome finish.

Was able to easily add this faucet to the 1/2" pipe that was there. It holds on tightly and the color looks just like the existing spigot. The water from the faucet and the pull switch to get shower work great. Has a bit of Teflon tape and a compression gasket in the kit and was able to use both and I have ho leaks. I'm happy. Home Depot is getting a bit pricy on things like this, tho.

Easy to install, all hardware was available for different pipe sizes

This universal kit worked perfectly. It tightened up nicely against the tile wall. Looks great.

the extension nipple is more than 1/2 inch shorter then previous version of same unit

Returned because I thought it was missing a part. Later found out it wasn’t. Repurchased it later.

The finish is terrible and flakes off
