    Thanks Dustin! I recently moved into a new house that needs some small improvements, including this. Followed your instructions and now no more water coming from the spout when pulling up the lever!
    My copper pipe was much longer than the one you showed in the video, so I just needed to screw the spout on directly. Hopefully I didn’t miss anything but will keep the spare parts just in case.
    Thanks again Dustin!

    Great vid Dustin I didn't have to remove my tub filler spout. I just laid on my back with a headlamp. I took a flat blade screwdriver from underneath and splayed the nylon latch-fingers apart and pulled up on the diverter knob on top of the tub filler. The nylon part with the diverter rubber washer seal slid down and out the bottom of the spout. I replaced the washer with a Draco "TUB SPOUT DIVERTER REPAIR KIT" from depot. I just used the NEW rubber washer seal and re-used the other original parts; lift rod and nylon diverter gate. My old rubber washer seal had a notch out of it.

    seems pretty straight forward and easy enough to do with one hand, i just moved into a new house went to take my first shower and the diverter is seized in the down position so i ordered a new spout from amazon but living on a relatively remote island in the north atlantic in canada the prime free 2 day shipping is more like 10 days so ive got 5 more days. next step is the rotted floors which i see you have a video on that too the toilet leaks between the tank and bowl when flushed which has rotted the floor around it causing the toilet to lean 3 degrees to the left so i just put down towels to soak up the water and got a seniors cammode / toilet seat riser to put over it so im not putting any weight on the toilet itself and the toilet stopped leaking when flushed but the whole back half of the house is falling off

      Just curious, I know you didn't say anything about shutting the main water supply off to change out this threaded diverter, nor did you say anything about turning it back on when you put it back on. I'm about to change one out at an apartment complex that has to have the entire building shut off, if I need to cut one water supply it's the whole building. I need to be absolutely certain that that's okay, to just spin the diverter off and take off, while leaving the main water supply on -which to me doesn't seem correct at all, but possibly it is. I'm just an amateur plumber. But it absolutely was not spoken of in this video one way or the other. So I just wanted to take this time to ask since I'll be doing this in the next couple of days. Please let me know if the main water supply needs to be shut off before proceeding with this replacement. Thank you

      Hey Nicolas. That means you probably have a three handle system with a diverter in the middle. You may need to replace what’s inside that middle handle… Otherwise yes, you would need a diverter on the tub spout.

      Hi Laura some of the stubborn ones can be tricky. Double check and make sure there isn’t a set screw underneath then they should spin off.

    There was no need to take the tub spout apart. Don’t twist the spout before loosening the set screw. That will score the copper to much. And tape off the spout before caulking, then remove the tape after smoothing the caulk. This leaves a better look.

    My diverter fell off including the piece in the wall. Will the replacement come with that wall piece?

    I have a pipe with the male on the end. It is total of about 4 inches out from the wall. Can I buy a diverter that actually fits this without chopping down the pipe?

    • @homemend
      @homemend  Рік тому +1

      Hey Cb. Probably not, they may have a half inch discussion that builds out of the diverter but most are 3 1/2 off of the wall, don’t let cutting the pipe intimidate you. You can simply use an imp cutter to cut off the fitting and then they have compression diverters that fit right on. You got this

    I have hard time removing my diverter it will turn a little bit but then it gets very tight. I did not see any screw hole that I have to loosen but maybe there’s something there holding it. So I stopped right now because I don’t know what to do.

    • @homemend

      Hey simple. If there is no set screw it should spin off. I have had to break them off to get them off. Sometimes they’re supposed to spin off but get seized. Twisting the copper line is possible. I just pray and go for it. You got this.

    Idk if this is my issue but my kids went to use the shower yesterday and now i have a basement full of water. The plumber came out said it was the tub spout causing the issue said it would be 1290 bucks to repair. I paid 190 for them to come out and tell me this. Said he would be back today to complete the job.

    Hello, my spout won't ever stop spinning when I turn it and the screw doesn't end up facing the bottom. Is there a way to fix this?

    • @homemend
      @homemend  2 роки тому +1

      Hi Annie. If it’s the kind I use here they will never stop spinning. You would want to put it in the place where you need it and then tighten down that screw. This will prevent it from turning easily. I hope this helps

    I've watched a few different videos on changing a tub diverter and none of them have said to turn off the water.

    • @homemend
      @homemend  Рік тому

      Hi Tammy, great observation… That’s because the water is already cut off at the tub. If you were doing some thing with the hot and cold side you may need to cut the water off at the street but since the water is already cut off to the tub and the diverter comes after we can work on it. You got this

    Hi Dustin. I love your channel. Quick question, do I have to shut off the water to the whole house first? Or as long as the shower is turned off I can remove the faucet?

    • @homemend

      Hey Marvin. If you’re changing the diverter no. But if you’re working on the faucet itself yes.

    No problem...well, only a little. I got a Moen kit that just slides on and has a plate to cover the hole in the tub enclosure. It uses a set screw to tighten. The copper pipe from the wall is just a tad too long. I should have hack-sawed off a 1/4 inch or so and it would have fit closer to the tub wall, But, that's no worse than it was to start with, but now the shower works! Yea!

    What if that long white piece inside the diverter doesn't screw out of the diverter? Can you keep it on and then screw the diverter on?

    • @homemend
      @homemend  3 роки тому

      Hey Trudy! The ones where the white piece won’t come out are usually for a shorter pipe. I would try to get one that’s similar to the one you’re replacing. I hope this helps

      @@homemend Thanks for the advice. The new spout is exactly like the old one where the diverter broke, but whenever I put the new one on, it leaks from where it meets the wall. I've tried tape, but still am struggling to replace this faucet, which should be a really easy fix. I'll try again.

      Hey Jean. Sorry you’re having trouble. The best thing to do would be to take a picture of it and maybe measure the diameter of the threads and then go down to the hardware store. I’m sure they have a diverter that will fit what you need regardless if it’s mobile home or not. You got this!
