Recently installed new Moen POSI-TEMP (2570) Tub/Shower Valve, and Moen Brantford style tub spout.
From day 1, there has been a very loud squeal/whistle when you turn on the water to the tub.
At first I thought it was the valve, and I haven't closed up the walls yet, but now I'm relatively sure, the sound is coming from the tub spout.
Can I correct the problem myself, or do I need to choose a different style spout?
Installation details. All new copper plumbing, shower valve, valve trim, and tub spout, reused previous hand-held shower head. Shower head never whistled before, so confident that's not the problem.
It doesn't squeal if you engage the shower diverter before you turn on the water and if you didn't pre-engage it, it stops squealing as soon as you do engage it.
Tub spout slides over pipe and is held in place by clamp tightened with allen wrench.
Thank you in advance for your help.
