Whether you want to add a new style to your bathtub or replace a rusty older unit, or increasing the water flow so it no longer spills on the tub deck, replacing a tub spout is a simple project that can be completed in very little time. Simply choose the finish that works best with your shower. This Westbrass 8-1/2 in. long unit, provides a spout only, without a diverter. Tub spout unthreads by turning counterclockwise from a front mount 1/2 in. or 3/4 in. IPS pipe nipple. Replacement spout threads back on again, using an adapter for 1/2 in. threads.
