Danze D606225RB 5-1/2-Inch Wall Mount Tub Spout with Diverter, Oil Rubbed Bronze

 (7 customer reviews)

This is a much nicer spout than the crappy brands you get at Menards. It's got some weight to it. Thugh beware if you are replacing an older spout like us you're going from all brass to some plastic parts.

We needed the 1/2" IPT and when this came I almost sent it back, it wasnt super clear how to use it with threaded pipe. The trick is to remove the hex screw, then grab the white nylon insert (the smaller sleeve that fits within the larger nylon sleeve, best way I can describe) and give it a twist and pull. You're working on the inside of the spot, so no real danger of damaging the finish but I suppose the possibility exists if you aren't at all careful.

Then when you find out your pipe out of the wall isn't 2" they require for this, and in many older homes it's not - just go to a store that sells inground sprinkler parts and buy a 30c F -> M 1/2 extension, the black or green plastic kind you cut to length with a hacksaw. WORKED PERFECT! Just wrap it up...Read more

This product would have been a perfect match for the other peices had it not been designed differently than the past parts of 10 or more years ago. They used a new connection that fits a 1/2 inch copper pipe. Great, but most connections over 15 years ago used a threaded galvanized pipe so the part was esentially worthless.

I used the slip on install. Everything went smooth didn't take more than 15 minutes. Make sure you read the instructions regarding the max length of the copper pipe. I almost missed it.
