Removing a tub spout is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few minutes with the right tools. A tub spout is the part of the bathtub faucet that extends out from the wall and directs the flow of water. It is usually made of metal or plastic and can be either fixed or adjustable. There are two main types of tub spouts: threaded and slip-on. Threaded tub spouts screw onto the faucet body, while slip-on tub spouts simply slide over the faucet body and are held in place by a set screw.
Knowing how to remove a tub spout can be beneficial in several situations. For example, you may need to remove the tub spout to replace it with a new one, to repair a leak, or to clean the faucet. Removing the tub spout is also the first step in removing the entire faucet, if necessary.
