![]() I remember originally fantasizing about having a raincan showerhead + rod-mounted handheld, until I found out that the worst, cheapest A/B/A+B diverter valve you can possibly buy on e*ay and would never want to allow anywhere near your bathroom starts at $150, and the prices increase exponentially from there. something I seriously doubt is even possible. A front end threaded tub spout can be used with either a tub valve without a shower, or with a tub valve that has a shower diverter built into the tub valve. ![]() Or maybe a 4"h x 4"w x 2"d rectangle of polished black granite with a 3/4" hole bored through it to accommodate the nipple.Ī separate valve is just completely out of the question, unless we're talking about $100 max for the valve + longer spout. Intro Replacing Tub Spout Extender/ Extension EASY Sam 100K subscribers Subscribe 17K views 3 years ago Simple how to video. Ive used pliers and a ratchet/socket set to. Ive tried wd-40 and ice inside the extender (trying to shrink it a bit). I removed the spout to remove the pipe extender, but alas its stuck inside the spout. say, a brushed nickel or stainless-steel cylinder that's about 5 inches diameter, and 2-3 inches long. As I was installing the handle trim, the tightening of the screws pulled the valve toward the wall some and now the spout sticks out to far. ![]() now I just need to find one that's not ugly, and I can claim was an intentional artistic design statement rather than a desperate attempt to avoid spending more on a spout than I spent on the valve and showerhead. OK, the faucet extenders are definitely a step in the right direction. (*)"Disaster" in this case means having to turn it into a shower-only set by plugging the lower valve that would otherwise lead to the filling spout, and buy a separate faucet with longer spout & run more water supply lines to it, because a longer spout would somehow screw up the delicate balance between the spout and showerhead. Is this a disaster(*), or is it a fairly minor setback that can be rectified for $25 or less with an internet order for a slightly longer spout that's compatible finish-wise and physically with everything I've already installed? It won't stop me from taking a shower tonight, but it IS something that I'm going to have to fix in the near future. and water coming from it is going to land directly on the overflow drain's knob. EASY SHOWER ACCESS A spout guard hole on the. Tonight, while relocating it 3/4" to the left of where I originally mounted it so it will be centered properly with respect to the tub, I realized that the tub spout is ~6.5 inches long (measured from the part that sits flush against the wall to the center of its spout opening). FITS MOST FAUCETS The faucet extender fits most bathroom faucet, such as Delta, Moen, Kohler, and Danze. I bought a shower+tub valve/spout/showerhead combo from Lowe's (Delta Lewiston 174902-SS) a few months ago. Clean the inside of both pipes with the emery cloth. This will ensure a solid, leak-proof joint that can adhere to the adapter piece. Well, chalk up one more unforseen "gotcha" I just discovered. Clean the outside of the pipe end that is coming from the wall as well as the extension piece, with the emery cloth until the copper shines.
