5" Diverter Tub Spout

This Kingston Brass tub spout replaces a worn outlet with a 5-1/4" diverter model in polished chrome. It suits homeowners refreshing a classic bathroom without re-plumbing the wall. The 1-3/4" opening delivers a steady stream for everyday bathing. Buyers needing a non-diverter spout or a different finish should look elsewhere.

Upgrade from a leaking spout

Swapping a corroded or stuck diverter for this unit restores reliable shower switching in minutes. The standard 1/2" IPS inlet threads onto existing pipe, so the change is worthwhile when the old spout drips or the diverter gate fails. If the supply pipe is damaged or a different connection size is required, this model will not fit.

Simple thread-on installation

Installation uses common hand tools: remove the old spout, clean the threads, apply tape, and tighten the new spout by hand plus a quarter turn. The most common issue is cross-threading the 1/2" IPS inlet, which can damage the pipe and require a plumber. Ensuring the old nipple is clean and undamaged prevents almost all callbacks.

Questions about this item

What size inlet does the 5-1/4" diverter tub spout require for mounting?

The spout uses a standard 1/2" IPS inlet that threads directly onto a half-inch iron pipe nipple in the wall.

How is the slip-fit spout installed and which step is often missed?

Slide the spout onto the copper stub-out, then tighten the hidden set screw with a hex key; skipping the set screw lets the spout rotate or leak.

Which part of the diverter tub spout typically needs replacement after extended use?

The internal diverter gate and its rubber seal wear out first, causing water to flow from both the spout and shower head simultaneously.
