My parents’ bath faucet wouldn’t divert water to the shower. I never had this problem but has to resolve. Thanks to this video and replaced the spout/shower diverter. At first, I looked for the screw on the underside that didn’t exist. Realizing my tourque was needed to twist off the old spout, it came off easily. $11 new one from Walmart went on with no trouble.

Hello . I was watching a video on how to replace a bathtub spout and saw your comment . I want to pass on some info . I to moved to an older home and have had issues with clogging and slow drains . This has worked for me . Lowes sells DAWN Ultra Heavy Duty . Its very concentrated . I raise the temperature on my hot water heater to very hot . I run the hot water for about 5 mins . the hotter the better . afterwards I pour DAWN right in the drain while the hot water is running . I have used the entire 56 oz in the kitchen sink and i have to say it has made a big difference . I have a quick drain again . Now i do it to bathroom sinks and tubs . this really removes the build up oils and grease with in the pipes . avoid getting this DAWN on your hands it takes for ever to remove and dries up your skin . good luck

If it leaks when turned off that will be a control valve issue. So you will need to take apart handle(s) and replace either cartridges or sometimes on certain ones can just replace rubber washers. If take apart and take pictures can show to hardware or plumbing supply store. Theyll be able to point you in right direction for part

Jonny, why would my tub spout with diverter leak out the back when I engage the diverter? Cannot seem to find a solution to this, but I noticed that the replacement package has a notice not to install if water leaks out the back. Suggestions?

The connection inside the tub spout must be leaking and it backflowing. So taking it off or installing a new one with plumbing tape and or plumbers thread compound should be good to fix that issue. You just dont want water backflowing into and behind the wall

Jonny watched your video to change the sprout very good I have a question my sprout does divert water to the shower but water leaks from the sprout even when the valve is closed

A little bit of water leaking is normal when diverter is closed letting water out of the shower head. If its leaking a bunch may need to be little bit tighter

[@cozysunday13]

If you measure the length of the pipe sticking out from the wall, you can buy a spout that is the same length. this way you don't have that huge gap.

Can I replace new shower system without diverted on spout from old one that has it

[@JonnyDIY]

You always need a diverter unless you have a separate knob or lever for valve to switch between shower and tub spout

[@gloryB-3]

Hello Jonny DIY. I watched your video. I'm having a hard time unscrewing the spout. It seems that it is crooked, which may be the reason for a clean screw off. What can I do? Yes, I took off the caulking between the wall and spout.

[@JonnyDIY]

If it's one like mine in the video where it's threaded onto a pipe you may just need more leverage. A large Pipe wrench should remove it without any problems although it may damage it. But if replacing no worries. Can try spraying some wd40 or similar, but you'd probably have to drill a hole in side to get it onto the threaded part

@@randygomez952 you're welcome, glad to help. Doesnt have to be too tight no. Just tighten and turn water on and look to make sure not leaking, if so tighten another turn 👍

[@randygomez952]

You've been very helpful thank you sir

[@Hrmn8tor]

If you hold the tape opposite it unrolls easier and cleaner. Just sayin. Enjoyed the video. Thanks

[@JonnyDIY]

You're welcome & thanks for sharing, will give that a try next time 👍

[@doctorfonz3391]

Perfect. This is exactly what I wanted in a quick video. Question. would you recommend fixing the diverter mechanism at all, or just buy a new spout?

[@JonnyDIY]

Glad to help. You could take apart and see whats making it not work correctly. Sometimes its just a little o-ring seal gasket that you can switch. The lever knob unscrews off usually to take apart

Very helpful. Thanks

My hot water faucet makes a loud squealing noice when turning off the faucet? Would the problem get fixed by changing the entire bathtub spot/diverter ? Thanks for any advice.

[@JonnyDIY]

Possibly if you can pinpoint noise better may help. Sometimes that is more caused by the mixer valve

[@JonnyDIY]

But if I remember correctly Ive had a spout that made the funny noise too, and that can be fixed by replacing spout or taking it apart and cleaning and possibly replacing seal

[@TheEmmahayes]

Is there such thing as the pipe sticking out too far that you can’t replace the spout? I was told I couldn’t replace mine because the pipe was too long but the diverter is now broke

[@JonnyDIY]

No you should be able to replace it still 👍

[@amarillyshappielips7690]

My caulken cracked at the space what do u recommend?

[@JonnyDIY]

Scrap and remove all the old caulking off, then tape off like I did and I suggest using a 100% silicone caulk. Can get clear, white or even other tones to match tub 👍

How do you put a rust filter on your tub faucet

[@JonnyDIY]

Hmm Ive never done that but I imagine it goes on between the spout on the pipe from the wall. Looks like there's some filters available you just hang over end of spout though 👍

[@musicluver1979]

Great video jon boy !

[@JonnyDIY]

Thank you! 😁👍🏻

[@badassuchiha4875]

Mines the Deverter is in the back but does it still matter if the Replacement one the where the Deverter Located

[@JonnyDIY]

You may need to get a similar one to replace because of the length of pipe that comes out is usually shorter with that type of spout. You may need to remove temporarily to figure your options for replacement

[@badassuchiha4875]

@@JonnyDIY oh ok so my Pipe might be Smaller is what your so I just can't do a Add on

[@badassuchiha4875]

@@JonnyDIY btw tho I got Fam that uses the place & I wouldn't want them to know I'm replacing it so that would kinda be Hard but Ehh I guess my Pipes are like 3 to 4 inches

[@JonnyDIY]

@@badassuchiha4875 Id just replace with another spout just like old one so you know it'll work then

This is great. Thank you so much! So easy and was about to call a plumber to fix it for me 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@JonnyDIY]

You're very welcome, glad I was able to help you fix it yourself 👍

[@dboboc]

And just caulk where the pipe comes through the hole instead of the whole spout.

[@pammiesue7931]

We replaced ours and when you pull on the diviter the shower doesn’t work, what did we do wrong?

[@JonnyDIY]

Im guessing the new diverter is defective. Should work. Does it spray past. Or just fall back down. Make sure you have pressure on high. It wont turn on shower part unless pressure is up

How do you remove and replace the knobtht you showed here turn on and off water

[@JonnyDIY]

Theres a cap in the center of the control knob you have to removed with small flathead screwdriver or razor blade then theres just 1 Phillips head screw under that cap 👍
