Note
There are two main styles of tub spouts: threaded and slip-on. To determine which style you have, look underneath the fixture where the shower wall meets the tub spout. If you see a screw, your fixture is a slip-on spout with set screw. If there’s no screw, it’s a threaded spout. In this example, we’ll be looking at how to replace a slip-on tub spout. If you have a threaded spout, refer to your instruction manual.
