 you pre-shots of the bathtub spout issues that we're dealing with, you probably recognize those shots at your house. The water is just not diverting up to the shower head correctly, so let's go to the store and see if we can find the right parts of it. Issue with our bathtub spout is the diverter. That is that little knob that you pull up and down to create a bath or create a shower. Ours is stuck. It's like it's in quicksand. It's basically totally sea stump. It won't move and it's created an issue where we can't really take a bath or take a shower. The water is divided between the shower and the bathtub and so there's no pressure for the shower and the bathtub takes forever to fill up. It's no good and so this is why we are fixing our bath spout. Alright folks, let's dive into this. You can do this. I have zero plumbing experience. I can replace a bathtub spout. You definitely can for $19.99. That's right. Don't go out and hire a plumber. I've heard that some plumbers can charge up to $200 for this. Don't do that. You can do this on your own. Trust me. Alright, follow these steps that I'm about to show you. Go. So you really just need one tool. Just one tool. It's called an Allen wrench. An Allen wrench and it's a 532nd size. The 532nd size. If you can find that at your house, great. If not, you can buy it for like, you know, $0.20 at any hardware store. An Allen wrench that is 532nd in size. So step number one, once you have your Allen wrench, go to the back of your bath spout. Find the back and move your finger around toward the back and you might have to put your head down and look up. Basically, there's going to be an Allen nut toward the back and you're going to want to stick the Allen wrench into that nut and just start twisting. Lefty, loosey, righty. No, righty, tighty, lefty, loosey. Right? Is that how it goes? So loosen it up. Go to the left until it's loose enough to basically start pulling that bath spout slowly off. Twist it gentle at first. Now, you might need a tool. I did not need a tool like a vice grip to pull off that bath spout. I could just twist it with my hand in a lefty, loosey direction. So I should also mention that the bath spout that you purchase, brand new. You want to make sure it's a diverter kind of bath spout, meaning you can pull up that little knob which forces the water up the pipe into your shower head. So you want to make sure you buy the right bath spout. It's called a diverter and once you pull off the old bath spout, lay it down next to the new one and you're probably going to see a very stark difference on the inside where the diverter is located. And ours is so caked in old chemicals that basically it wouldn't even move. It was stuck solid in one position. That's why the shower, frankly, was not putting out any pressure and we were basically taking like a bath shower mix for a couple weeks until I finally had the time today to fix it. So just make sure you have a diverter. Pull it off, compare so you can see the difference and what you're working with moving forward with a new one. So once the old spout is off, you're going to find a copper pipe and that copper pipe is usually going to be a half an inch in diameter. And basically I cleaned mine off just to make sure it's nice and clean before I put the new one back on. And then you also, if you want, I did this just to make sure you can buy some Teflon tape as well. And it's just this very thin tape that helps give an extra tight seal for the new spout when it slides back onto that copper pipe. So you can go around the pipe maybe two or three times with a Teflon tape and that'll, once again, it's very, you know, that's very cheap. It's like $1.99. Wrap it around a couple times and that'll just make sure it's a nice snug fit when the new one slides back on. There's really only two more steps left and basically open the package of the new spout, take it out and it's going to look nice and shiny compared to the old one. No chemicals built up on the inside. So you want to get that Allen wrench back out and basically locate the Allen nut that is on the bottom of the new spout and just start loosening it not all the way. Maybe five turns, six turns, basically allowing the plastic on the inside to open up so that you can then slide that new spout onto that copper pipe. Okay, this is the exciting part. It's easy, right? You guys can do this. You got this. Basically grab that new spout and now that the Allen nut is loose, not too loose, but just enough, pick it up and start sliding it on that copper pipe. So if you can't turn it with your hand, which I was able to do with mine, but if yours is a little more snug, it probably is not going to be, but you might have to use vice grips or like a plumber's wrench. Just be careful. Don't want to scratch your brand new spout. So just turn it all the way until it's flush with the wall of your bathroom or your bathtub. Alright, last step. You guys did it. You did it. Wasn't that easy? You guys did it. Basically, you're going to want to get that Allen wrench and just start tightening that nut that's toward the back of your brand new spout. It's close to the wall. Just tighten it up and it might be a little tough because the Allen wrench doesn't want to slide past the wall, but don't worry. Just keep working on it. Keep working on it until it's very snug. You don't want it to be jiggling around or moving around at all once you're trying to open and close the diverter for creating a bath or a shower. So let's give it a test. Congratulations. You did it. Your bathtub is working. Your shower is working. Now you can enjoy a hot shower, a hot bath, whatever you prefer. Isn't life beautiful?
