How to Remove a Moen Tub Spout A tub spout provides water to a bathtub. Some spouts have a diverter or device for sending water to either the tub spout or a shower head. A tub spout needs to be removed for a few reasons. The diverter can fail and send water to the shower head instead of the tub spout. The threads inside the spout may crack or corrode. This can cause water to drip inside the wall. A tub spout finish may also corrode and flake, making it unattractive. Look at the spout and determine what type of Moen spout you have. There are two spout types: slip-fit and IPS (iron pipe size). Slip-fit spouts slide over a 1/2-inch copper pipe and fasten with a setscrew on the bottom. IPS spouts have female threads for attaching to a 1/2-inch iron pipe with male threads. Both spout types have a cutout underneath them and adjacent to the wall. A cutout with an opening for a hex wrench indicates the spout is the slip-fit type. Loosen the setscrew on the slip-fit spout with a hex wrench.

Turn the wrench counterclockwise. Gently pull and twist the spout off the copper pipe. Use caution not to loosen any pipe connections inside the wall. Loosen a Moen IPS spout by twisting it counterclockwise with your hands. Remove the Moen tub spout from the 1/2-inch pipe. To install a new slip-fit tub spout, slide it onto the wall pipe and tighten the setscrew with the hex wrench. For IPS types, turn the spout clockwise onto the wall pipe's male threads until tight. You may need to clean the threads and apply plumber's or Teflon tape.

If you have a tub diverter like this in your tub, please DO NOT buy a cheap universal one from a box store. I did that and regretted it 5 minutes after I got home. worked, I wish it wasn't plastic Replaced the old one and easy install Thank you for saving us a ton of money! We were able to buy this and install ourselves No leaks. Super easy to install, works great and is beautiful Short story - keep looking. This is so superior to my choices at the big box stores its amazing. Basically at Home Depot they had the cheap crap with a single set screw. It seems like the brick and mortar stores don't carry this for some reason. The install was super easy, didn't have any leaks and now I have a 100% functioning shower.
