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
How to make it divert water to shower?
Hello Kate !
Thank you for your question regarding the Delta Faucet DELTA® Pull-Down Diverter Tub Spout
MODEL#: RP17453NN!
I am sorry this information was not readily available, and I am happy to help you!
To activate the diverter assembly you must pull the front of the tub spout down which will activate the shower.
Please reach out to us directly if you need further assistance.
Thank you for being a loyal Delta Faucet customer.

Antoine

Hello, I am trying to replace the faucet in my tub, But the brass fitting it screws onto is larger than all of the standard size one's. When I measure the plastic thread hole in the old one, it measures 1 1/4" (inches)
Thank you for your question, JJWeb! RP17453 connects by either sweating onto 1/2" C.W.T. (copper water tube) or threading onto 1/2" IPS (iron pipe size). If your previous tub spout was installed onto another manufacturers adapter, this will need to be removed before using this tub spout.
Best regards, Edward

Does this the 17453 faucet have a matching escutcheon? I have a 1/4" gap between the base of the faucet and the tub that I am trying to cover.
Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # RP17453 does not have a matching escutcheon. However, we do manufacture tub spouts that contain escutcheons that might work for your application. Both Delta Faucet models RP52148 and RP53419 have escutcheons.

How long of a 1/2" pipe stub is needed for the adapter?
The distance from the wall to the end of the 1/2" copper pipe on my bathtub is 1 1/4". Is this long enough to use with the brass adapter that comes with this Delta tub spout? If not, what is the recommended way to install the spout? I looked on-line for detailed installation instructions, but could not find any.
Hi AW, Thank you for your question. You will need at a minimum 1-1/2" and preferably 1-3/4" of copper to solder on the adapter. The only other option is if you can solder on a 1/2" copper male adapter keeping your overall length to 1-1/4" at the maximum, 1/2" at the minimum and then threading the tub spout adapter on.

will this match brushed nickel
Thank you for your inquiry, Bob H! The SS or the brilliance Stainless finish of the Delta Pull-Down Diverter Tub Spout RP17453SS is the closest matching finish we have to Brushed Nickel finish color.

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.
Best regards,
Tanya

will the spout work for my situation explained below?
My 1/2" copper pipe extends exactly 4" from the wall and has threads on the end. threads are 1/2' long. will the spout thread onto the pipe and be tight against the wall and be facing down?
Thank you for your question, Jack. The tub spout will thread onto a 1/2" pipe that extends 5/8" to 1 5/8" from the finished wall or sweat onto a 1/2" copper pipe that is 2" to 4".
Best regards,
Jon

I have an old Delta Tub spout that screwed on using this fitting will it fit on this?
Here is a photo of the old "stub" that is sweated on to a copper pipe. This is a 25 year old Delta 600 series tub set. I would like to fit a stainless steel tub spout on this without removing and replacing. Open to other spout models in stainless.
Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # RP17453SS can either be sweat onto a 1/2" copper pipe or threaded onto a 1/2" iron pipe. It does include an adapter assembly.

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,
Dave

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.
Date published: 2024-03-28
The pipe is 3 inches, the whole pipe is threaded which is rare. I have a hard time finding a fit, the old faucet was a delta that looks like a slip on design but somehow also fit this pipe by keep twisting it in. Can this fit?
Hi, Nicole!
Thank you for your question. The Delta RP17453 Tub Spout Assembly 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. Our Delta RP5836 Tub Spout does slip on to a 1/2" C.W.T. Here is a link to this option:

Pull down diverter tub spout Stainless Steel
I am remodeling a bath in my house. I really like the pull down diverter. I am interested in SS finish and a Metal product. How ever while researching the SS only seems to be available in part RP17453 which is non-metallic(plastic), Do you have available a RP17454 is metal in the SS finish?
Really not looking for plastic spout. Thanks
Hi LCW, Thank you for your question!
We do not manufacture the RP17454 pull down tub spout in the Stainless Steel finish. We do offer pull up diverter models that are metal in the Stainless finish such as the RP48718SS and RP64721SS.

Brandis

this model faucet has failed for the second time. 6 mo ago it leaked back past the o ring and threads and into the wall, damaging my ceiling. I replaced it with another delta. it just did it again. Is there another one with brass threads internally?
Hi, Brian.
Thank you for your question, and I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing a leak at your Delta tub spout. We do have another tub spout that works with the brass adapter. The part is RP19820. Here is a link to the unit on our website:

Which model would you recommend to replace faucet # RP17453, if I do not need a diverter? I have one in my tub that is stuck in the down position, but I do not need a diverter because the shower is a separate stall and has its own water supply.
Hi Donna,
Thank you for your inquiry! We do not make a non diverter tub spout that is designed exactly like the RP17453 one. However, we do manufacture several different non-diverter spouts, please the link below.

Is there a oil bronze replacement spout for the RP17453 with the RP12307 adapter?
Hi Calvin,
Unfortunately we do not have a replacement spout in the oil rubbed bronze finish with an RP12307 adapter. We do have an alternate tub spout in Venetian Bronze which is similar that works with the RP12307 adapter. The model number is RP34357RB. http://www.deltafaucet.com/bath/details/rp34357rb.html?showPhotoGallery=false

Can I use RP17453 to replace a spout?
I have a 3-3/4" threaded iron nipple. Will I be able to install this RP17453 without cutting the pipe? If not what other Delta spout can I use instead? Thanks.
Hi Art, Thank you for your question. The adapter used on the RP17453 tub spout requires that the pipe nipple extend beyond the finished wall between 5/8" to 1-5/8". Our tub spouts like the model RP63157 that the nipple threads into the nose of the spout require 3-7/8" to 4" of pipe from the finished wall.
Thanks,
Dave

I'm installing a new RP17453 (plastic) tub spout to replace our 16-year old one that just started leaking. Is it necessary to use teflon tape before screwing the plastic threaded part onto our copper pipe? Instructions don't say, but our old one didn't.
Hello Lori,
Thank you for your inquiry! The Delta Pull-Down Diverter Tub spout RP17453 does not need any putty or tape with installing it on the brass adapter/pipe.

Can I replace the spout by itself or do i have to replace the entire set?
I laid the toilet brush across my tub spout to dry out and it has tarnished the finish (see photos). My landlord says the spout, handle and shower head all have to be replaced and a plumber has to do it. I think the spout should be relatively simple to replace. Can I just purchase a replacement spout and install it without having to go into the entire shower set-up? Or, is there a product I can purchase that will clean the tarnish/discoloration and return it to "normal"? As you can see from the photos, the water is hard and the fixtures are already spotted with mineral deposits. Help! Please?!!! Thank you sooo much!
Thank you for your questions. We would recommend replacing just the tub spout. Delta Faucet part #RP17453 can be purchased and installed (instructions are included with the packaging).

What is the maximum distance the spout will thread onto the adapter? My current adapter extends 3" from the wall, will this spout thread on until snug against the wall?
Hello,
Thank you for your question!
The max distance between the wall and the end of the copper pipe is 3 1/2".

Hi, is the Delta RP17454 interchangeable with the RP17453 and what are the benefits of each? Thanks
Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet part # RP17454 and Delta Faucet part # RP17453 are interchangeable. The difference between the two is that RP17454 is metal and RP17453 is non-metallic. It is a personal preference for the consumer to pick one.

Want to replace similar 25 year old gold product with stainless. RP17453SS advertised as stainless keep reading of plastic, is the spout actually ss or plastic?
Thank you for your question, GT71! RP17453SS is non-metallic with a Stainless Steel painted finish. We offer the same type of spout in metal as part number RP17454. This is the only other pull down metallic spout however, and it is only offered in Chrome, Polished Brass or White.

What is the construction of the RP17453SS tub spout? Is it plastic, plastic with a metal shell, or zinc (ZAMAK) casting? I presume it mounts using the RP12307 adapter.

I'm unclear on whether or not this will fit onto a 4" long threaded 1/2" pipe or not or if it will require a shorter pipe to install to

I have a 1" threaded female adapter that is sodered onto the normal 1/2" threaded copper pipe coming from the wall. I am looking for an easy fix...
From my research I have found that the delta 17453 may work with the included adapter. It sounds like the adapter that comes with this is like the one that is sodered onto my existing pipe.
Does this adapter easily come off of the 17453 spout so I can just thread in the 17453 onto my existing 1" adapter?
Hi Chris,
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.

Jon

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.

what spouts will replace my 1400 series?
I have a rp12307 adaptor sticking out of the wall from when the first delta was put in. Alot of the spouts I have looked at only have thread out at the end of the spout about 4" further out.
Hi Jeff,
Thank you for your question!
A majority of our tub spouts will fit the RP12307 adapter. The basic ones are the RP17453 and RP5834. Below is a link to browse our tub spouts. In order to see if it will work on our website, refer to the product features tab and make sure it says that it will thread onto 1/2" IPS nipple and that it will sweat onto 1/2" C.W.T.
