🚿 Enhanced Chrome DELTA U1072-PK 0.5" Diverter Tub Spout Review

Looks good in the photo, I ordered one over a month ago (too late to return) to put in the front bathroom. Just got around to installing it. The package was torn and sealed with tape when I received it so it may have been a return. I thought since it's a Delta product it would be nice. It's all plastic and now stands in my front bathroom. When the water is turned on and the diverter is activated, heavy steam comes out of the faucet. I don't suspect it will last more than 6 months a year as it's

I am very surprised that after installation I turned on the water and instead of a pleasant flow of water into the bath, there was a strong splash, which wet the surrounding wall and the upper bathtubs. I've read articles about problems connecting to the spout and while I haven't had this problem, I believe there was an issue with the retraction system that made it too messy to use. I'm going back for a refund and ironically found a tub spout with an external handheld showerhead that was much…

I've just bought an old village house, shall we say, only to find that the bathroom has a shower door but no shower head. I bought this so I could add a hand held shower head to a bathtub faucet instead of taking off all the tiles and adding shower head plumbing. I bought it because it was advertised as universal. I was researching and trying to figure out what type of plumbing I have and figured this might handle it. It ended up not having all the parts I needed - I had to buy a small, cheap…

Very easy to install on my slip ons, looks good but not quite as advertised. The word 'drain' is defined as 'diversion' and this won't completely do the job, it will still provide water for both overhead and handheld showers. I didn't want an overhead shower at all. So now I have to buy an expensive part (shut off valve) for the overhead shower. A few years ago I bought a very similar faucet for a quarter the price and it works like a dream in another tub, unfortunately I can't find it anymore.

The existing faucet broke when we bought the house so I removed it and just screwed the shower hose onto the pipe coming out of the wall and punched a hole in leave the wall. Didn't cause any problems until a few weeks ago when water leaked onto the bathroom floor. So I started looking and that was sort of the right thing for me. Received within a day, installed yesterday. It literally took me less than 5 minutes from start to finish. I know what I do with plumbers but honestly I think anyone…

The product appears to be of decent quality. My only complaint is that this and almost all other descriptions of similar products are missing an important parameter: the length of the pipe sticking out of the wall, which is suitable for a proper installation. In my case I had 4 inches by ½ inch pipe. I couldn't find a description of a suitable tube length, but I did find a description for the spout listed as 9.25 inches. The eyeball method found the divertor came loose about halfway up, so I…

Wanted to turn the bath tub into a bath/shower in the apartment as the separate shower was too small for me. It was difficult to make sure there were no leaks when using a push-in connector, so I did it like this: 1. Cut a long plastic adapter as instructed.2. Assemble the long plastic adapter and brass adapter easily by hand tightening.3. Place the assembly against the wall next to the copper pipe coming out of the wall as instructed in the instructions to check the fit.4. Cut the copper…
