How to Install a Bathtub Spout, Solder on Adapter, Delta In2ition
In this video we show you how to install a Delta bathtub spout, including how to install the confusing Delta bathtub spout adapter, by soldering the tub spout adapter onto the copper pipe. We call this a copper pipe sweat installation. Once you have your tub spout adapter soldered in place, the rest of this project is just securing on the new delta tub spout diverter.

The problem with these Delta shower kit installation instructions is their tub spout install instructions don't jive with the way the sweat on adapter actually fits onto the copper pipe, so we made this bathroom plumbing DIY video to help you out, with video tub spout installation instructions. The Delta tub shower trim kit instructions don't match the tub spout adapter.
Install bathtub spout from Delta shower kit
If you are doing a bathroom tub spout repair, you would not likely need to solder on the tub spout adapter like we did in this Delta tub spout installation instructions video. This is for your tub spout installation Delta, but these tips work on many similar tub spout in shower replacement projects.
Keep in mind if you are just performing a tub spout replacement, then you probably won't have to solder on any adapters. Install bathtub spout and test water flow, make sure there is no tub spout leak.

Don't forget to replace the O-Ring on the tip of the Delta bathtub spout adapter after sweat it to the copper pipe. The O-Ring is removed before soldering the tub spout adapter to the copper tube coming out of the wall, to protect the O-Ring, which would allow a tub spout leak if the O-Ring is damaged.

After watching this video, you'll now be an expert on how to install a tub spout with diverter. Installing bathtub spouts is now your specialty!

Most tub spout repair kits just contain the new tub spout, and usually with the diverter built into it. Then all you need to do when installing bathtub spouts is to just screw the new bathtub onto the adapter. You'll quickly find how easy installing tub spouts really is.

Just so everyone knows. This adapter does not have a stop on the inside. You need to have the copper go all the way though as the instructions state. I will take a little fineness but it will go in. Deburring will help.
Please do NOT follow the advice in this video! Follow the instructions provide with the spout. You may have to dress the end of the copper tube.
Biggest mistake ever
Tube does go through the adapter on the Delta spout I purchased just like the instructions stated. Check before you cut off the pipe!
This video saved my life! Yes, the instructions for this unit are confusing, but this cleared it all up. And the demo was perfect.
Jeff, you either need to remove this video or put a BIG DISCLAIMER that the new fittings will fit all the way through, and as others have mentioned, perhaps a pipe was not perfectly round. My fitting (September 2021) fit all the way through. Thanks!
Sorry mates, the info in this video is incorrect. The brass adapter will indeed slip all the way over 1/2" copper(red or blue) as prescribed by Delta. If you are having trouble getting past what Jeff refers to as the "stop," you need to deburr your pipe end. Sweating the adapter on with just the tip of the pipe in contact will result in leaks and/or the tub spout may come completely off.
The tolerance here is very close and mine did fit. The fit inside the larger diameter is very loose and I would not solder it like it’s done in the video. If mine didn’t fit, I’d carefully cut another piece of copper (don’t clamp down too hard on your pipe cutter when you cut it) and then if that didn’t work, I’d contact Delta. There’s really not much water pressure on this unless the diverter is to the shower and the shower head is turned off but if someone tried to lift themself (kid) by the spout it could break the soldered connection. Also, if you’ll notice, the O ring side has a bevel. It might be easier to push copper pipe through the brass fitting on the O ring side all the way to the elbow and then solder it to the elbow. You can cut more copper than you need and cut off the excess when you’ve slid the fitting where you want it when you’re ready to install the spout. Then cut off the excess. My two cents.
I’m getting water coming from the back end of the spout! What did I do wrong? I am not flush the the wall - will that cause it@? I have the new adapter with the inner o ring and the fighting screew- so I don’t need to solder ? Help
I don’t recommend people do it this way follow the instructions. I did exactly as video states and leaks because there is a large gap to fill with solder. After reading comments it does slip through with flux as instructions say. Now I have to remove after cutting pipe too short.. more headaches.
This little
This is one of the absolute best videos online for this Delta adapter. Clear cut, in-the-field quality real world instructions. Bravo to you Jeff. These things can be reeeeeallly tricky because the instructions suck. I always dry fit it, or side fit it and see how it really functions because 9 times out of 10, the instructions are not going to tell you the whole story. Some adapters for Delta are like the one in this video where they have an inner race inside the adapter body where the pipe will stop and butt up against it and that's where you make the solder joint. Other Delta tub adapters allow the pipe to slide right through to the face and you solder it at the face. Use your thinker when installing these. Superb job again.
Perfect video! I bought this exact shower kit and the instructions for installing this adapter are not correct. Thanks for confirming this and giving great information.
Thank u. I was stuck on this for months lol thank GOD for your vid🙏👍
Would of never figured it out. Thanks
Thanku Sir, God Bless you .!!
Thank you so much!
This was the best video on this install. I must have watched it 10 times. Gave me confidence to tackle this. I would say that my water line did run all the way through the adapter and then I cut it to length per instructions and mine looked just like the video. Who knows. But thank you so much
I just disassembled my 20 year old Delta regular basic "plumbers go to" spout. It is assembled exactly as your directions say The pipe does stick through.. There must have been a change over the years. Possibly your directions were for the wrong model. Nice of you to share!
