Do you have to turn the water source outside off first?
@@CrmlG72 Actually not necessary for this job, but it doesn't hurt if you do 👍
I know Im kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to watch newly released tv shows online?
@@JonnyDIY Hey man great video thanks! I have a quick question for you If you don't call behind that spout fixture if water gets behind that could it cause water damage on your ceiling behind the wall?
@@bosshova23 probably not the ceiling, you may have another type of leak, best to check if you're getting drywall damage
Just replaced my tub spout. Now I'm singing "I'm every woman" by Chaka Khan in my head cause I just saved hundreds of dollars in repairs.
Haha thats awesome, glad I could help you get it done and you saved some $ along the way 👍
Damn girl who do you call for plumbing parts. If they charged you over 200.00 for that simple repair they are ripping you off. J.M lic plumbing contractor for over 30yr
That's Whitney Houston not Chaka Khan
@@krishaungreen4647 Chaka Khan first released this song in 1978. Whitney sang it in 1992.
@@krishaungreen4647 They BOTH sang it! I prefer the Chaka Kahn version, even tho I love Whitney.. may she RIP..It was written by Ashford & Simpson but HE wrote most of it..
I just discovered your videos a couple of hrs ago (2am and it's now 4am) while looking for ways to unclog my bathtub. It's amazing how easy it appears to DIY so many projects. I just inherited my childhood home. Lots of fixer uppers to be done. Thank you for taking the time and effort to share your wisdom in such "user-friendly" ways. I'm excited to get started! Much health, wealth, safety, and blessings to you and your family. 💕
Thank you for all the kind words. Good luck on your projects👍
Update: I did it! Last night I unclogged my bathtub. It took a while getting used to the hand auger but it pulled out a clump of hair and my drain is unclogged. Thank you again!
@@LuEllen956 Awesome! Glad you got the clog! And glad I was able to help out a bit 👍
Hello . I was watching a video on how to replace a bathtub spout and saw your comment . I want to pass on some info . I to moved to an older home and have had issues with clogging and slow drains . This has worked for me . Lowes sells DAWN Ultra Heavy Duty . Its very concentrated . I raise the temperature on my hot water heater to very hot . I run the hot water for about 5 mins . the hotter the better . afterwards I pour DAWN right in the drain while the hot water is running . I have used the entire 56 oz in the kitchen sink and i have to say it has made a big difference . I have a quick drain again . Now i do it to bathroom sinks and tubs . this really removes the build up oils and grease with in the pipes . avoid getting this DAWN on your hands it takes for ever to remove and dries up your skin . good luck
fernandez thank you for this info. I'm just seeing your comment and suggestions. I'll definitely be heading to Lowe's for the Dawn. Enjoy your holidays.
Thank you!!! Single Mom here, need to replace two of these things. You made it so easy and pleasant 😄👏🏻
You're welcome, glad to help 👍 good luck with the project
Same here too! Thanks for making this easy for us gals
@@amandabrey1824 you're welcome! 👍
Wow that’s easy! I’ve put a leak off for 15 years. Knowing it wouldn’t fix itself. But just didn’t know how to tackle it. Thanks for your video. Following you!
You're welcome, glad I could help. Good luck with the fix, better late than never! 👍
Uh, yeah...same here. Not quite that long, however, when we bought the house new they put the cheapest crap in here including all the faucets and tub stuff.
House was built in 2005 and already had to replace every faucet in here pretty much including kitchen sink and faucet, 3 faucet fixtures in the bathrooms and now this 1 tub spout im going to have to do. I wish they wouldn't do that to us and just put something in that will last.
Love how you just got right to the point, easy peasy! Thanks for the video, I was looking for this info. I appreciate it.
You're welcome, glad I was able to help you out 👍
My parents’ bath faucet wouldn’t divert water to the shower. I never had this problem but has to resolve. Thanks to this video and replaced the spout/shower diverter. At first, I looked for the screw on the underside that didn’t exist. Realizing my tourque was needed to twist off the old spout, it came off easily. $11 new one from Walmart went on with no trouble. Thanks you - felt good to learn a new skill
Awesome, you're very welcome. Glad I was able to help you fix that for your parents 👍
Subscribed! Quick, concise, and to the point! Just how I like instructions delivered. Thanks!
You're welcome, glad I could help! 👍 And thanks for subbing 🤙
After watching this video, I decided to replace my broken tub spout myself instead of paying the $200 charge the plumber quoted me. It took all of ten minutes and cost me $20. Your simple and thorough tutorial gave me the confidence I needed. Thank you so much!!! Now I’m looking for my next project to tackle 😅.
Awesome job 👍 You're very welcome, happy I could help you out 🙌👍
Thank you for braking down the process in a straightforward way. Thank you.
You're welcome, glad I could help out 👍
Right on. This was just the information I needed. Thanks Jonny.
You're welcome, glad to be able to help 👍🏻
Thank you a million!!! Nice to have a step by step guide to help me out. Best video by far.. I would be lost! 😃
You're very welcome, so glad I could help you out 👍
Wow, you make that look so easy! I really feel like I can do it myself! 💪🏼
It's one of the easier projects for a homeowner, you can do it! 👍
If this guy can, anybody can.
that was excellent! please branch your channel out and cover everything! the world awaits.
Thank you for the kind words 😁👍🏻
Thanks for an easy, concise video on how to fix this. Going to HD now to get the faucet!
You're welcome, glad I could help 👍
After a bunch of false starts, where the thumbnail shows what I'm looking for, but the video doesn't help, YOU SIR have helped me, thank you
You're very welcome, happy I could help you out 👍
Thank you dude❣ To the point and not a RUclips time waster! Quick and easy. Great job superior❣👷♂️👍
Thank you for your kind words 👍
@@JonnyDIY BTW
went To my local hardware store and purchased a spout.
I thought it was the one I needed before taking the original 1 off of my tub cause I wanted to make sure I had the right 1 and in taking off my original, the 1 I purchased was not the right 1 so I took it back and was able to get the right 1 based on what I took off and figured it out and put on the new 1. Next I noticed that the replacement 1 was the super cheap pot metal.
I don't like how cheaply made it is and I Paid $17.99 for it.
I Did a great install though! YAY ME!
Thanks again for the viddy!
@@candlesoftheearthbestcandl995 You're welcome, glad you got it done. Yes I've noticed the price of them has gone up a lot in the last 5 years and the quality down sadly. They dont last long either, they're always breaking for me at least hah
Thanks Jonny! Worked like a charm!
You're welcome, glad I could help! 👍
Cool! Thanks for the great tips!!! I feel confident to tackle this myself now!!

What size heck screw I need

Good instructions. First time hearing someone say anti clockwise

You're welcome, glad I could help you out with your project 👍
Great video! Thank you 🙂
You're welcome, glad I could help 👍
Ive replaced these 3times in this house weve lived in for about 9yrs. The first two were in the first five years, after putting on the third one i asked everyone to pull up the diverter before turning the water on thinking it would help from wearing out and its now been 4 yrs and its still going strong
Also we had terrible water pressure in the shower for the first while we lived here, fed up one day i accessed back panel where the shower pipes are and with the turned all the way up i went up and down thr pipes rapping on it (forcefully but not excessively) with a wrench and knocked some sediment loose and increased pressure by easily 300%, wifey was pleased and i got to act like i knew what i was doing the whole time lol
@@ChChChEm haha awesome, love fixes like that. Easy and rewarding! 👍
Thank you!! Totally helpful!! 😛👍
You're welcome, happy I could help you out 👍
Very good video. Thank you.
You're welcome, happy I could help 👍
This is great. Thank you so much! So easy and was about to call a plumber to fix it for me 🤦🏽♀️
You're very welcome, glad I was able to help you fix it yourself 👍
And just caulk where the pipe comes through the hole instead of the whole spout.
Thank you for your help!
You're very welcome, happy I could help you out 👍

Thank you sir. Just did mines video guided me along. 👍
Awesome. You're welcome, glad I could help you get it done 👍
Jonny watched your video to change the sprout very good I have a question my sprout does divert water to the shower but water leaks from the sprout even when the valve is closed
A little bit of water leaking is normal when diverter is closed letting water out of the shower head. If its leaking a bunch may need to be little bit tighter
You go girl!👍
Great vid. Thanks.
You're welcome, glad to help 👍
Thank you Jonny do you have a video on how to replace all the shower and tub fixtures when you don't have an access planet? Mine is 35 years and needs an update and I have no access panel, do I need one? Can I change all them from inside the tub?
Sorry dont have a video on that yet. It depends on the shower valves that are used if youll need an access panel. Sometimes you have to cut a panel to change them out or youd have to remove tub insert or tile. Either that or just get similar fixtures and replace with those. Thatll be most cost effective to just try and find ones thatll work with older plumbing
Thank you... It was easy but I have to figure the correct measuring of the nipple pipe. I found out after buy it 3 time. It was 5 1/2 inches long.
You're welcome. I feel you, I almost never get the right parts with plumbing the 1st time, especially at big box stores 🤦♂️
Good to know, we are taking over my grandmother’s place which has a leaking spout, we can now either clean it or replace it
Happy I could help you out, good luck with the new home 👍
@@JonnyDIY ty
timely info.. helped saved few $$..
Happy I could help you out 👍
instead of caulking, I prefer a round foam rubber seal between the wall and diverter, slightly wider than the diverter diameter. It will be compressed and form a positive seal.
Cool thanks for sharing 👍
nicely done
Thank you, glad to help 👍
Thank you so much.
You're welcome, glad I could help 👍

Thank you very much
You're welcome, glad I was able to help! 👍
Thanks!
You're welcome, happy I could help 👍
Thanks for the instruction.
My spout leaks even when not in use. How do I fix it or I have to replace it?
If it leaks when turned off that will be a control valve issue. So you will need to take apart handle(s) and replace either cartridges or sometimes on certain ones can just replace rubber washers. If take apart and take pictures can show to hardware or plumbing supply store. Theyll be able to point you in right direction for part
Do you ever get a perfect seal without any drippage when you divert the flow to the shower head?
No, they always drip a little out of the spout when diverted to shower hear 👍
Thank you
You're welcome, happy to help 👍
Thank you I think I can do this.
You're welcome 👍
Thank you so much.🙏
I did it 😂
You're very welcome. Awesome glad to hear I could help! 👍
Thank you!!!
You're welcome, glad I could help! 👍
Hi, just a tip when we installed Teflon tape on it, we need to put counterclockwise that’s the right way thanks
whichever direction its threaded is the way I put on the tape. So clockwise for regular, that way it doesn't back off or bunch when you thread onto it 👍
Thanks bro 💪🏿
You're welcome, glad I could help 👍
Can you also do a video on changing the top part?? Mine is is just like yours
Sorry I just do videos as the work comes, but will keep that in mind thank you for suggestion
Nice
Thanks man just changed my spout no need call plumber
Awesome, you're welcome. Glad I could help you out 👍
Thank you 谢谢！
You're welcome, glad to help 👍
That's a Delta faucet system. Got any plans to do a video on a Kohler, Moen, Pfister, or El Cheapo tub/shower fixtures? You are the only youtuber who is not ashamed to use masking tape while caulking. Party on, dude.
Thanks Mark! No plans on any other fixtures right now. But will keep you posted if I do 👍🏻
Hey thanks for sharing, I'm going to be doing this tomorrow. Can I use a different spout as long as it's same length??
Yes you can use a different style
What to do if I want to change the tub spout and it’s not opening there’s any chance or any idea you can guys help me please
I have a hard time losing my diverter
I’m afraid of damaging the pipe and I did not see any screw that I need to remove. It might be something I’m not sure.
THANKS! 👍🏽👍🏽
You're welcome, glad to help 👍
Jonny, why would my tub spout with diverter leak out the back when I engage the diverter? Cannot seem to find a solution to this, but I noticed that the replacement package has a notice not to install if water leaks out the back. Suggestions?
The connection inside the tub spout must be leaking and it backflowing. So taking it off or installing a new one with plumbing tape and or plumbers thread compound should be good to fix that issue. You just dont want water backflowing into and behind the wall
Hello Jonny DIY. I watched your video. I'm having a hard time unscrewing the spout. It seems that it is crooked, which may be the reason for a clean screw off. What can I do? Yes, I took off the caulking between the wall and spout.
If it's one like mine in the video where it's threaded onto a pipe you may just need more leverage. A large Pipe wrench should remove it without any problems although it may damage it. But if replacing no worries. Can try spraying some wd40 or similar, but you'd probably have to drill a hole in side to get it onto the threaded part
thanks!
You're welcome, glad I could help 👍
Can I replace new shower system without diverted on spout from old one that has it
You always need a diverter unless you have a separate knob or lever for valve to switch between shower and tub spout
Do you have to turn off the water at the meter to replace this?
No, water needn't be turned off for this project 👍🏻
Perfect. This is exactly what I wanted in a quick video.
Question. would you recommend fixing the diverter mechanism at all, or just buy a new spout?
Glad to help. You could take apart and see whats making it not work correctly. Sometimes its just a little o-ring seal gasket that you can switch. The lever knob unscrews off usually to take apart
Thank you, save me one hundred and fifty dollars that I didn't have for a service call. Going to Loews today and get it👍
Awesome, you're welcome, glad to help 👍
I have a question. I put in a new spout and everything then when I started my shower the water shoots to the back and in the wall we're the copper pipe is i don't know wat to do
Make sure the pipe coming out the wall matches the size of the spout, may need to use adapter
Would this also fix a non-stop dripping from the tub spout? Or is that something I need to turn off water, remove knob, change out thingy? (professional term used by new home owner LOL). Thank you and great videos!
Yes that would be different. You would need to remove knob and replace rubber washer or cartridge . Depending what style faucet you have
@@JonnyDIY Thank you! I actually found your site when I was trying to find out why my fridge was clicking. Tomorrow, I'll be breaking out the vacuum. And searching your site for all the other things that I need to figure out! LOL
Lol thanks for checking my page out. Hope it helps 👍🏻
@3 name changes allowed every 90 days. It ended up being the cartridge that needed replacing. It had been stuck on there for so many years, the plumber broke out the 2' foot wrench and struggled with it for 20 minutes before it came off! Glad I did not attempt it myself LOL Good luck!
My caulken cracked at the space what do u recommend?
Scrap and remove all the old caulking off, then tape off like I did and I suggest using a 100% silicone caulk. Can get clear, white or even other tones to match tub 👍
My has a converter on it, but I can't get it off(it has blue tape on the threading). How do I get that off of there?
The blue tape can be peeled off or wire brush to clean threading 👍
My hot water faucet makes a loud squealing noice when turning off the faucet? Would the problem get fixed by changing the entire bathtub spot/diverter ? Thanks for any advice.
Possibly if you can pinpoint noise better may help. Sometimes that is more caused by the mixer valve
But if I remember correctly Ive had a spout that made the funny noise too, and that can be fixed by replacing spout or taking it apart and cleaning and possibly replacing seal
Great video! But when I took off my old diverter spout (screw on bottom) I saw that the pipe does not have any threading on it so I don't know to attach a new one. Help! The pipe is smooth.
The new one will install just the same as the old one came off 👍 just be sure to get same type for replacement
@@JonnyDIY Thanks
How do you put a rust filter on your tub faucet
Hmm Ive never done that but I imagine it goes on between the spout on the pipe from the wall. Looks like there's some filters available you just hang over end of spout though 👍
Plumber estimate to replace mine was $1200 without repairing wall and tile. Did it myself for less than $25 and never had to go into the wall.
Wow that's a high estimate! Glad you were able to do yourself and save 👍
Hey Jonny - did you turn off the water supply before doing this repair? I read that you have to turn it off beforehand. I own a condo so I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do
it's not necessary to turn water off when replacing tub spout. Now if you're working on water handle controls, the water supply will need to be shut off
@@JonnyDIY Thank you!
@@mitchellbinder7698 you're welcome
Is there such thing as the pipe sticking out too far that you can’t replace the spout? I was told I couldn’t replace mine because the pipe was too long but the diverter is now broke
No you should be able to replace it still 👍
Thanks, this was great. Btw, how did you get into my shower?
You're welcome, glad I could help 😁👍
What if I can’t get the screw out from underneath? It looks like it’s striped. Please help. Thanks
Can drill it out and carefully use a screw extractor set
Stupid question, should I shut the water off for this? Since it’s not technically the on/off valve?
Not a stupid question. Water doesn't need to be shut off for the spout. Only if working on the main tub/shower water control valve 👍
