? Delta faucet tub spout mystery

pac · Apr 24, 2014

Long time looker, first time post.
I have an old bath tub faucet that needs a replacement spout. I have no idea what model it is. The only refference number that I have is a Delta patent no. 3674048
If any one knows, I would appreciate a little help.

Thank you. Pac man

I would get rid of the adapter and install a new spout with a proper length brass pipe nipple going into the wall.
If the fitting were deep enough in the wall you could stub out copper and use a slip-on spout.

The tub spout adapter fits any Delta spout. I love those!

Take a close look at the O-ring on the adapter...if it's in good shape, fine, but if not, you might want to replace that O-ring. Put a little silicon plumber's grease on it, and it will be less prone to twist or slide out of position when installing the new spout. That is probably one of the best spout anchoring systems out there because it is solid, and you can get your spout installed without a gap and not have to play with positioning of the adapter or the pipe length.

Why? That would be like junking a Cadillac and buying a Chevrolet. That "adapter" fits the BEST spouts available, and there are many versions from ones with pull up diverter knobs to the "pull down" diverter rings that I prefer.
