Review on ๐Ÿ› Delta U1075-PB-PK Diverter Tub Spout in Polished Brass, 0.5 Inch by Richard Simmons

Revainrating 4 out of 5

This product works as expected but is more difficult.

This product works as expected but is more difficult to install as it is universal. On the Delta Sliding Diverter, I swapped out the o-rings a few inches from the wall, and the screw that holds the diverter to the tube is near the wall. The builder tightened the clamp screw, a dent in the copper pipe. With this universal switch, a small brass fitting contains an O-ring and clamps for a copper tube that is pressed against the wall. Unfortunately, the O-ring sits in the exact same place as the previous deflector's set screw. This resulted in a leak when the shower was first turned on. I ended up using an RTV with a brass fitting to form a spacer to hold the dented copper tubing in place. Since both were designed by Delta, one would think they would have considered that fitting a different type of switch would affect universal interchangeability.

Pros
  • So far satisfied
Cons
  • Will write later
