Only a few tub spout that is made of metal
It's so hard to to find a tub spout that is not made of plastic. This one is an exception- could have been cheaper- this not made of brass.

Had to go with original
Hard water really did a number on the original spout and couldn't hardly get it to divert to use shower. Tried using a generic spout from a box store but it was just not the same quality as original, hareder to install and actually sounded noisier (slightly annoying). Went with the OEM part now everyhing good to go and like it was when originally installed. As a side note, also installed water softener.

Q&A
How long does the 1/2 copper pipe from the wall have to be?
replacement part # for the Tub Spout
RP48718
Thank you for your question. When using the Delta Faucet part # RP48718, the copper pipe should be from 5/8 to 1 5/8 inches from the wall. That measurement is from the wall to the end of the pipe threads.

Does this tub spout have an aerator?
Hi, Kevin!
Thank you for your question. The Delta RP48718 Diverter Spout Assembly does not have a removable aerator.

Can you do an iron pipe installation with this spout? If so, how far should the threaded pipe nipple extend from the finished wall?
Also, if you are able to do an iron pipe installation, how do you remove the parts for the copper pipe installation? I have tried to remove the parts but i'm afraid i'm going to break something. Should the copper pipe installation parts just screw back out? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your question. Delta Faucet model # RP48718 can only be used as a slip on to a copper pipe. It can not be used with an iron pipe.

The lenght of the copper pipe from the tile only measure 3/4 of an inch. In one of your answer, you said that 5/8 of an inch was sufficient.
in another answer yo say that the pipe should be cut at 2 3/4 inches from the wall?? Bottom line, I don't want to call plumber to extend my pipe from the wall, would it fit on my short pipe? thanks for your help.
Hi Marc, Thank you for your question. The copper tube should be at least 2-3/4" long and no longer than 4-1/4" to work with the model RP48718 spout.
Thanks,
Dave

RP48718SS is out of stock. Is there a replacement for this available and/or will it be available later.
Is this truly STAINLESS STEEL or brushed Nickel in a Stainless finish?
Hi Drew707,
Thanks so much for contacting Delta Faucet Company about RP48718SS! The finish is described as a neutral, low-gloss finish. Brilliance® finishes, designed to not corrode, tarnish or discolor for a “like-new” look for life, are developed by embedding molecules deep into the faucet’s surface, creating a bond that is virtually indestructible with an incredibly reflective shine. This process is known as Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD).
Please contact us directly if you have any questions or need additional assistance.

How to install - measurements from finished wall. Does the copper stub out slide for word past the inner o-ring?
Hi Rich,
Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet RP48718SS.
The copper tube should go past the o-ring. The tube should be chamfered and free of burrs to avoid damaging the o-ring. The pipe length from the finish wall should be between 1 3/8" and 2 1/2".
Please reach out with any additional questions!
Best Regards,
Bryan

Can I take apart the plastic insert inside the RP48718 and and screw it in using the front thread like a a screw on type? (My existing RP48718 was installed this way!)
Hi Zimmer,
Thank you for your question about the Delta Faucet RP48718. This spout is installed by slip-on a 1/2" copper pipe.
Tub Spout RP64721 is a slip-on tub spout with a removable adapter that would also allow a 1/2" IPS thread into the nose connection when removed.

I want to replace existing basic Moen spout that has too much backpressure so water dribbles from shower head when valve is full on and diverter set to tub. Is this spout likely to solve my problem?
Hello Charles,
Thank you for your question. I am sorry that you are experiencing an issue with your tub and shower faucet. We are happy to help.
The issue you describe is often called shower rise or stacking. It is possibly caused by a blockage in the tub spout or there can be one of several reasons. In a Delta Faucet tub and shower, shower rise can be caused by:
1) The valve could be upside down.
2) The length from the valve to the tub spout is outside of the 8" to 18" recommended.
3) There is more than one 90-degree angle elbow.
4) Something other than ½" smooth copper or galvanized pipe was used going to the spout. No push fittings. No "shark-bite" fittings. No cast or drop ear elbows.
5) Something restricting the water flow to the spout, e.g. solder or something lodged in the pipe. If this is the cause of shower-rise it is possible to remove the blockage by removing the tub spout; then, feeding a plumber’s snake or a speedometer cable up through the tub drop. The act of feeding it causes it to twirl and loosen the blockage. Be sure to flush the valve before reinstalling the tub spout. Be sure to check the tub spout itself for blockage.
Please reach out directly at customerservice@deltafaucet.com or 1-800-345-DELTA if you have any questions or need additional assistance. We appreciate your business and look forward to continuing to serve you!
Best regards,

Will RP48718SS work with 1/2" Galvanized Pipe?
Hi JayP! Thank you for your question! I will be happy to help. Unfortunately no, it will need to be either sweat onto a 1/2" copper pipe or thread onto a 1/2" iron pipe.
Best Regards, Tim
