Bad Change
I have read previous review, and I am seeing similar issues, I replaced the same faucet with a new that had worked for a number of years. I initially thought that I was not installing properly, but I cannot get the new faucet to stop leaking, I wasted $40 at Ace, now I am looking for a different option.

No set screw for a 80 diverted basic faucet
Didn’t come with set screw and ahit straight off the pipe! Can only replace delta with delta and they can’t even make their own stuff work with the items that are out in by contractors. So annoyed.

Ours has lasted.
We have had ours for 27 years and only now do we need to replace it. I’m looking for the part and hoping the newer ones last as long.

Excellent spout!
In the past several months I did some updates to my shower. I recently got a Moen Verso showerhead, and I wanted my Delta valve trim and spout to aesthetically match my showerhead in style. For the valve trim I went with the Delta Modern Series.
For the spout, I went with this one with the pull-down diverter. It has a nice modern design that seems to go well with my valve trim and showerhead. It fit right onto my existing Delta adapter with ease. The best part about this spout is that the diverter completely seals while showering, resulting in higher shower pressure. I would definitely recommend this spout if you want to improve your shower pressure.

Don’t buy
Had installed for less than a year and it leaks out when trying to shower. Go with something that has less plastic components.

Awesome product & service
I've had this tub spout 3 yrs and noticed issues with the finish when I removed it to work on the shower grout. After contacting customer service, Daishana handled it smoothly and in a professional and quick manner. The spout has been exceptional with no issues and I highly recommend it, Also, their customer care group is always outstanding!

The diverter allows allot of water to leak
My 15 yr old tub spout diverter started squealing and needed replaced. You would think you could access the O-rings inside this reliable spout but I was told it has to be replaced. Got the pull down one and when activated it isn’t stopping the water flow. Please go back to the old 1990 style Delta.

Q&A
I have a Delta #RP17463 chrome tub spout with diverter on my tub now. It is 20!years old but rarely used. I want to change it to stainless. There is no need for a diverter since there is no shower. What non-diverter tub spout would you recommend?
Thank you for your question, Rodwil! The RP17453 tub spout is a sweat onto 1/2" C.W.T. or thread onto 1/2" IPS installation, however, I will include a link below to all of our non-diverting tub spouts for reference.

Delta RP17454 Nipple Length?
The instructions say the pipe should extend from 1/2 to 1 1/4 from the finished wall. My pipe is about 1 5/8 from the wall. It appears to work fine and I can see no leaks. There was plenty of length inside the spout for the o-ring to still seat.
Is this acceptable or could there be issues that I am not seeing?
Thanks
Dear Elgato,
Thank you for your inquiry! This Delta Pull-Down Diverter Tub Spout RP17453 is designed to sweat onto a smooth copper pipe extending 2 - 4" from the finished wall, or thread onto a 1/2" IPS nipple extending 5/8 - 1 5/8" from the finished wall. There should be no issues with your install.

Pull down diverter spout
I have a pull down diverter spout similar to delta models RP17453 and RP17454. Its lendth is 6 1/8". The threads are at the base of spout (the end that goes against the wall) and the thread opening is 1 1/4". The iron pipe pertudes 2 3/16" from the wall. The threads are at the base of the pipe.
Are these the right models for my needs?
Thanks.
George
Thank you for your question. The only difference between Delta Faucet model # RP17453 and RP17454 is that RP17453 is non-metallic and RP17454 is metal. You will need a 1/2 inch pipe for installation of either one of these models.

I already have the threaded adapter on my pipe. I assume it has been sweated on as it will not turn. Will this fit with the adapter that is threaded at the back with an o ring in the front?
Hello Jeff,
Thank you for your question! This tub spout comes with the RP12307 adapter. If you already have this adapter installed, simply unscrew the included adapter and screw on the spout.

The inside of the tub faucet I am replacing has a piece of plastic that slips onto the pipe. I need to match the current faucet that is 20+ years. How can I see the inside or figure out if this faucet will work?
Hi, Blonde Hockey Fan!
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, we do not have a photograph of the inside of the Delta RP17453SS tub spout assembly. However, the tub spout sweats onto a 1/2" C.W.T or threads onto 1/2" IPS nipple. The RP12307 adapter assembly is included for installation.

How do you deliming tub spout for pull-down diverter?
How do you deliming tub spout for pull-down diverter? Lime keeps getting built up in spring, is there away to remove and put back spring foe cleaning?
Dear Epagames,
Thank you for your question. We do not recommend disassembling the Delta tub spouts. To dissolve any sediment that may collect in the diverter or face, just soak the face of the tub spout in a 50/50 or stronger mixture of white vinegar and tap water for 10 to 15 minutes.

Delta Tub Spout Pull Down Diverter, replace it?
The water is not diverting to the shower. I think I have to replace the entire unit. Is there somewhere local to me, within 50 miles of 27248 zip code, where I can find the tub spout? Also does this tub spout come in Brushed Nickel?
Hi Hamp, Thank you for your question. You should be able to order the RP17453SS from your local Lowes or Home Depot. The RP17453 is not available in the bushed nickel finish. Our (SS) brilliance stainless finish is comparable to other brands brushed nickel.
Thanks,

Does this replace an old 600 series pull down faucet without altering the copper plumbing?
"W e are replacing our tub fixtures to nickel or stainless (Delta 600 series). Our current pull down diverter faucet is 6" long, and looks like the drawing. When the spout is removed, the copper pipe comes out 3" with an o ring on the end. The screw fixture is about 1" from the wall. Will this spout fit directly on the current copper pipe as described, i.e. is this a direct oem replacement for the old spout or will it require changeing the copper pipe.
Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # RP17453NN can be used on your current pipe. You should be able to remove the adapter from your new tub spout and screw it onto where the old one was placed.

Is this faucet only for shower purposes or can I also take a bath? If so how to I stop the tub?
Thank you for question, Kayy! This diverting tub spout can be used in a tub and shower installation. The diverter on the tub spout pulls down to direct the water to the shower head. You will need to refer to the manufacture of your tub however the drain is typically a standard size and should work with our bath waste assembly RP393.

Do you make a spout with a pull down diverter and threads into the nose
I have a 4 inch nipple i do not want to change. I also want the positive sealing the pull down divertor provides
Hi Bill, Thank you for your question. We do not offer a pull down tub spout diverter that will accept a pipe nipple into the nose of the spout. The pull down spouts use or RP12307 tub spout adapter that threads onto a pipe 5/8" to 1-5/8" from the finished wall.

Replacement diverter for 4" threaded pipe
What Delta replacement tub diverter spout do I need to fit onto a 1/2 (inside diameter) copper pipe that protrudes exactly 4" from the wall? At the end of the pipe is a soldered threaded fitting on which the diverter screws directly. The combined distance from the wall of the pipe and the fitting is 4" exactly. The outside diameter of the threaded fitting looks to be about 3/4 inch. The original diverter that must be replaced is chrome metal (not plastic) and has a pull up knob on it. I don't want to cut the pipe or resolder a threaded fitting to a shorter length. thanks in advance.
Hi ASM, Thank you for your question. Our RP61357 is a metal diverter tub spout that will thread onto a pipe that is 3-7/8"-4" long. The pipe will thread into the nose of the spout.
Thanks,

Hi You have our Delta 1600 series tub/shower faucet. Unfortunately, the 1600 series has been discontinued since " 1994" and there are no current trims to fit the unit in the Stainless Steel finish. You will have to replace the entire unit and valve body behind your wall.

How many gal per min is delta shower valve
Thank you for your question, Joeyt! The available flow rate will depend on the PSI available to the home as well as the trim selection and whether or not this is a tub spout installation only. For example, a standard Delta MultiChoice Universal rough-in such as the R10000-UNBX can produce anywhere between 4.9gpm at 40psi for a tub port only 13/14 series trim up to 9.0gpm at 80psi using the tub port only T17T trim.
