Pasos de instalación
The Westbrass E507DUS-07 tub spout is designed for universal fit, accommodating 1/2-inch copper, 1/2-inch IPS, or 3/4-inch IPS connections. Follow the steps below based on your existing plumbing.
- Cierre el suministro de agua: Locate and turn off the main water supply to your bathroom or entire house. Open a faucet to relieve pressure.
- Remove Old Tub Spout: If replacing an existing spout, loosen any set screws on the underside of the spout or unscrew it counter-clockwise from the wall pipe. Clean the area around the pipe.
- Determine Connection Type: Identify if your existing pipe is 1/2-inch copper, 1/2-inch Male Threaded (IPS), or 3/4-inch Male Threaded (IPS).
- Preparar la conexión:
- For 1/2-inch Copper Pipe Connection: Ensure the copper pipe extends approximately 1-1/2 inches from the wall. Slide the 1/2-inch copper pipe fitting adapter onto the copper pipe. Secure it with the included hex wrench if there's a set screw.
- For 1/2-inch Male Threaded Connection (IPS): Apply Teflon tape to the threads of the existing 1/2-inch male threaded pipe. Thread the brass adapter onto the pipe.
- For 3/4-inch Male Threaded Connection (IPS): Apply Teflon tape to the threads of the existing 3/4-inch male threaded pipe.
- Install Extension Nipple (if needed): If your pipe does not extend far enough from the wall, use the included 4-inch extension nipple. Apply Teflon tape to the threads and connect it to your wall pipe or adapter.
- Attach Tub Spout:
- For Slip-On (Copper) or Adapter Connections: Slide the tub spout onto the pipe/adapter assembly until it is flush with the wall. Secure it by tightening the set screw on the underside of the spout with the hex wrench.
- For Threaded Connections (1/2-inch or 3/4-inch IPS): Carefully thread the tub spout onto the pipe/adapter assembly clockwise until it is hand-tight and properly aligned. Use a wrench for a final snug turn, but do not overtighten.
- Prueba de fugas: Slowly turn the main water supply back on. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks occur, turn off the water, re-tighten connections, and re-test.

Instrucciones de funcionamiento
The Westbrass E507DUS-07 tub spout features a diverter mechanism to switch water flow between the tub spout and a showerhead.
- For Tub Fill: Ensure the diverter knob on top of the spout is in the down position. Water will flow from the tub spout.
- For Shower: Pull the diverter knob upwards. This will redirect water flow to your showerhead. Push the knob down to return water flow to the tub spout.
Mantenimiento y cuidado
To maintain the finish and functionality of your tub spout, follow these guidelines:
- Limpieza: Clean the spout regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the satin nickel finish.
- Diverter Maintenance: If the diverter mechanism becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts.
- Prevención de fugas: Periodically check for any signs of leaks around the base of the spout. Address any leaks promptly by re-tightening connections or replacing worn seals.
