Clawfoot Tub Faucet Body

This solid-brass faucet body is built for clawfoot tubs and can be installed wall-mounted or deck-mounted with the appropriate elbows and fittings. It includes an integral diverter and a traditional spout, and the ceramic cartridge is designed for long-lasting, drip-free operation. The oil-rubbed bronze finish coordinates with period-style bathrooms.

Thermals Noise and Power Draw

As a purely mechanical plumbing component, the faucet body produces no heat, noise or electrical power draw during normal use. Water flow and temperature are controlled entirely by the supply lines and the cartridge, so there are no thermal or acoustic characteristics to consider.

Ceramic Cartridge Diverter

The integrated ceramic cartridge and diverter assembly determines whether this body will deliver reliable switching between tub spout and shower outlet without leaks. Buyers who need a thermostatic valve or a pressure-balance cartridge for scald protection should look elsewhere, as this model relies on a standard ceramic mechanism.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the ABT500-5 body on a clawfoot tub and what step is often missed?

Choose wall or deck mounting, then add the correct elbows and fittings for that style; the step people skip is installing those elbows before connecting the supply lines.

What part of this faucet will need service or replacement after years of use?

The ceramic cartridge inside the body is the wear item; it can be removed and swapped when drips or stiff handle action appear.

What limits the diverter’s reliability during daily shower use?

The integral diverter is built into the brass body; mineral build-up on its seal is the first thing that causes leakage between spout and shower outlet.
