Instructions for Tub Spout with or without Diverter
(illustrations may or may not represent actual parts)
Note: This device is designed in compliance with ASME A112.18.1-2005/CSA B125.1-05 standards.
A small amount of water is intended to flow from the spout when the diverter is engaged.
This is a safety feature to help prevent unintended release of water.
Instructions:
Remove old tub spout. Determine connection by comparing yours to the images below.

Fig. A. 1/2˝ Copper Pipe Slip Connection
Tools Required: Phillips Screwdriver, Pipe Thread Tape, Silicon Grease
a)
Measure Stub Out Nipple length from wall surface to end of pipe. To use this connection method, Stub Out Nipple must be between 2" and 3" long (Fig. 1).
b)
End of Stub Out Nipple should be even. Use sandpaper to remove burrs and sharp edges from end of tubing and to polish tube surface to a smooth, bright copper color.
c)
Slide Adapter (A) onto Stub Out Nipple, with the threads facing the wall (Fig. 2). Lubricate Stub Out Nipple about 1" from the end with silicone grease.
d)
Slide O-ring (B) onto Stub Out Nipple at least 1/2" from end of nipple.
e)
Slide Extension Nipple (C) onto Stub Out Nipple and thread onto Adapter (A), aligning hole in Extension Nipple (C) with slot in Adapter (A). Turning clockwise, tighten Extension
Nipple (C) onto Adapter (A) until slot in Adapter (A) again aligns with hole in Extension Nipple (C).
f)
Thread Screw (E) into Retainer Ring (D). Slide Retainer Ring (D) and Screw (E) assembly onto Extension Nipple (C) and align Screw (E) with recessed hole on Extension Nipple
(C). Tighten Screw (E) forcing it to just push through Extension Nipple (C) (Fig. 3).
g)
Using a Phillips screwdriver, tighten Screw (E) until it touches Stub Out Nipple (Fig. 3). Note: Do Not Tighten. Tighten Extension Nipple (C) on to Adapter (A) until it touches
Screw (G) and will not turn any more. Slide assembly on Stub Out Nipple until the back of the Extension Nipple (C) is even with the wall surface. Note: Screw (E) may be
loosened slightly to allow Extension Nipple (C) to move freely.
h)
Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten Screw (E) until it touches Stub Out Nipple, then tighten 1/2 to 1 full turn to secure Extension Nipple (C) to Stub Out Nipple. CAUTION: DO
NOT OVERTIGHTEN. THIS WILL CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE.
i)
Wrapping clockwise, apply 2 to 4 turns of Pipe Thread Tape to the threads on male end of Extension Nipple (C). (Fig. 4)
j)
Turning clockwise, tighten new Spout (F) (illustrations may or may not represent actual parts) onto the Extension Nipple (C)(Fig. 4).
k)
TEST FOR LEAKS. CAUTION: DO NOT USE IF LEAKING FROM REAR. WALL DAMAGE COULD OCCUR.
To Operate Diverter - if your tub spout has one. (Used to direct water to the showerhead)
While water is running, gently lift up on diverter knob (Fig. 5). Water will be re-directed to the showerhead. Once the water is turned off, diverter will return to the original position.

Tools Required: Pipe Thread Tape
a)
Measure Stub Out Nipple length from wall surface to end of threads. To use this connection method, Stub Out Nipple must extend between 1/2" and 3/4" beyond wall surface
(Fig. 1).
b)
Wrapping clockwise, apply 2 to 4 turns of Pipe Thread Tape to the threads of Stub Out Nipple (Fig. 2).
c)
Turning clockwise, thread Reducer Adapter (G) onto Stub Out Nipple. Wrap, turning clockwise, apply 2 to 4 turns of Pipe Thread Tape onto Reducer Adapter (G).
d)
Remove Extension Nipple (C) from Spout (F)(illustrations may or may not represent actual parts) . Turning clockwise, Hand Tighten Extension Nipple (C) onto Adapter (G) until
the back of the Extension Nipple (C) is even with the wall surface (Fig. 2).
