DANCO Universal Tub Spout - Easy How to Install

In this video I show how to remove the old tube spout and replace it with this universal spout sold at home depot. This is a DIY how to video

Moen Delta

Wow, I had a preconceived idea of how to do it and, thankfully, I watched this! Thanks, you saved me a lot of time!

Do yourself a favor and spend a little more on the Moen spout. I wrestled with the Danco for an hour. Took it back and had the Moen installed in 5 minutes. Super simple.

Very quick and easy! Thanks! Only recommendation is to show it at different angles in a close as much as possible as well during editing

This is such a poor design but I finally got it working with the help of this video. Holding the inner sleeve with the screwdriver was a bit tough at the end...there really should be a special tool included that can fit between the wall and the sleeve or they just need to redesign the whole thing so it isn't so difficult. I'll add that the telfon tap should be put on the outer sleeve threads before you test the diverter out....I don't think my leak behind the spout was the o-ring, it was the gap between the outer sleeve threads and the diverter.

Thank you SO very much. I was at wits end and ready to call my plumber. You just saved me a $200 trip charge.

I tried reading the written instructions that came with in tiny font and a bit complicated. This video showed how simple it is to install. Thank you for posting it :)))

Thank you very much. I installed one of these about 5-7 years ago the o-ring finally gave out and water started to come out everytime the shower was on. Bought a new one to replace and I have much more experience now with tools and DIYing things. I now realized I put it on the wrong way and much more difficult. Thanks for the video again.

Thanks much! One small detail missing. The size of the hex key to remove the hex nut on Moen faucets is 5/32. Took me forever to find the right key.

[MM-gqle]

thanks for this! I had read the instructions as leave the o ring on the edge of pipe, but saw how it was really supposed to be installed!

Thanks, the other videos that i watched were useless. This video made it simple to install.

I bought this kit about a month ago and something to note is that it does not come with the same style adapter parts now. So you may find this video does not match the most up to date parts or installation instructions.

Thanks for the video, the original dingo video on Lowes website was useless, this was much more helpful!

[allisonlewis]

Thank you so much. This easy fix became a nightmare due to unclear installation instructions.

[lindembergl]

I know this one was done 2 years ago, and I’m happy how this helped me to understand the process. I just have a quick question: why separe those pi cês to be screwed later. I believe no need for.

[Swahiliangiftx]

This was a great tutorial. Thanks for your help. My problem is bit more complicated. I don't have a straight piece of copper pipe coming through my wall and will have to get behind the wall to complete the needed repair. Iyt looks like I will need to extend my pipe to be able to install this faucet.

[boetner]

Nice try. I installed one of these, and had constant leaks. I called Danco, actually got really good customer service, and troubleshooted the issue. Turns out the rubber gasket does not sit properly when the adaptor is put on the copper pipe (compare how it fits on the adapter when it's not on the pipe--it has to fit snugly into the groove, but it's hard to tuck into that groove after the adapter is put on the pipe). Hence constant leaks out the back. Customer service is sending me another whole assembly, so maybe that will work better. I'm surprised you didn't turn the water on in your video, that would have been revealing. I'm also surprised you didn't caulk the hole where the pipe comes out before you put the spout on! That's going to leave some damage behind the wall if there are any leaks.

[YolandaTheGardener]

You didn’t check for leaks, but thanks for sharing. I was able to get the parts on.

[Sky-eykj]

Thank you for easy and detailed but simple instruction especially the alignments.

[palerider]

I have one to replace but I think it just threads onto the extended pipe from the wall. I don't know about all the plastic parts in this example.

Awesome video, you saved my day! Thank you so much!
