Tub Spout - Pull-Up Diverter in Venetian Bronze

Hi, Laurel! Thank you for your question. At this time, all of our Venetian Bronze Tub Spout Assemblies have copper highlights and are non-metallic. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Best Regards, Rosanna

Thank you for your inquiry, AA11! The Delta Dryden Tub Spout RP52148SP is the only SpotShield Stainless finish we make. We do not manufacture a SpotShield Chrome finish. https://www.deltafaucet.com/parts-product-detail?modelNumber=RP52148 Best regards, Tanya

Hi there Craig, Thank you for your inquiry! Based on your description of the flow from the tub/shower, you are experiencing an issue known as shower rise. This is an installation issue, which has several possible causes. Please make sure that: 1.The valve body is right side up. 2.The pipe for the tub spout drop is only 1/2" copper or iron pipe. 3.The tub spout is 8” - 18" from the valve body. 4.No drop-ear elbows or push-to-connect fittings are used. Only one 90 standard degree copper or iron elbow should be used. 5.There is no blockage in the pipe (such as excess solder) or tub spout. Best regards, Tanya

Hi Dee, Thank you for your question. The RP17453SS is the same pull down tub spout you currently have in our Brilliance stainless finish which is comparable to other brands brushed nickel. We have several diverter tub spouts that will screw onto the RP12307 tub spout adapter your current spout uses. The RP72565, RP43161,RP42915, RP34357, RP51503, RP52148, RP53419, and RP61269 are all diverter tub spouts that are available in both the (SS) brilliance stainless or (RB) venetian bronze finishes that will work. Thanks, Dave

Hi Hank, Thank you for your question. Unfortunately the plastic adapter is not available as a separate piece. The entire tub spout RP52148SS will have to be replaced. Thanks, Dave

Hello Patrick! Thank you for your question and we are happy to help. We apologize for this information not being readily available to you. There is no aerator in the Delta DRYDEN™ Tub Spout - Pull-Up Diverter MODEL#: RP52148SS. We recommend soaking the tub spout in a 50% warm water and 50% white vinegar solution. We also recommend flushing the valves of your shower: Turn off the hot and cold supply to the valve. This may involve shutting off the water to the entire residence, or for the room or fixture. [Or there may be supply stops on the valve itself behind the escutcheon requiring removal of the handle.] Turn the volume control on to relieve any pressure behind the valve. Remove the handle, There may also be a trim sleeve to slide off of the valve. If you have supply stops on the valve itself, you will remove the escutcheon plate to access those. Remove the bonnet. A strap wrench works best to not deform the bonnet. Caution: Be careful not to twist the valve. Remove the cartridge by wiggling as you pull, taking care to protect the stem. If the cartridge has a metal stem, reattach the handle to provide a better grip. Check inside the valve for any other components and remove those. Once all the parts have been removed from the valve, close the shower curtain or door. Caution: the water may be very hot. Turn both of the water supply valves on full and let the water run for 60-90 seconds. Perform any maintenance on the removed components. Reassemble the shower valve. Check for leaks. With any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us directly. Thank you for being a loyal Delta customer. Best Regards, Carrie

Hi JAG2, Thank you for contacting Delta Faucet Company! Please accept our sincere apology for the inconvenience you are experiencing. Here is what we can do to resolve your issue for you. Our Delta Faucet Dryden™ Tub Spout Pull-Up Diverter In Matte Black MODEL#: RP52148BL does not control the flow of water, low flow would be caused by a blockage or debris in the valve. I have included the step-by-step instructions on flushing the rough valve, please see the steps below. To flush the open valve without the cartridge, please follow the directions below. 1) Remove the handle, I have included a how-to video link below to show how the different shower handles are removed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGjEgAUHX8c 2) After removing the handle, remove the trim sleeve. 3) Then you will need to remove the bonnet nut. The bonnet nut is the threaded ring at the valve opening. It unscrews counterclockwise. You will need a pipe wrench or a pair of channel locks. 4) After removing the bonnet nut, you will need to pull the cartridge straight out. You may need a small, skinny bladed screwdriver to wedge in between the lip of the cartridge and the valve to help start it out. 5) Once the cartridge is removed, you will have an open valve body. 6) Next, shut the shower door or curtain and turn the water on to the valve. Water should gush out, much like an open fire hydrant. Have someone observe if there is good water pressure coming out of the valve and let it flush for 30 seconds. 7) Re-install the cartridge and re-assemble in reverse of how it was disassembled. The Tub/Shower should then have a good flow. Thank you for being a loyal Delta Faucet customer. We appreciate your business and look forward to continuing to serve you. Please contact us back with any further questions. Best Regards, Nicole
