How do you install a slip on tub diverter spout?

Replacing a slip-on spout is easy: Just loosen the setscrew (usually with a hex wrench) and pull the spout off the copper pipe that protrudes from the wall. Twist the spout as you pull and be gentle so you don’t loosen any pipe connections inside the wall. Then slide on the new spout and tighten the setscrew.

What is a slip fit connection on a tub spout?

A slip-fit spout has an internal assembly that slips over a copper pipe. The spout has an opening on the bottom side where a setscrew is tightened to hold the spout onto the copper pipe. A slip-fit spout does not contain threads.
