Replacement Bathtub Spout with Lift Rod Diverter for Tub and Shower, Chrome Finish, 3801

This is a quality product. It is well worth the price I paid versus the cheap one I paid for at the Home Depot. Installation was super easy.

After my diverter jammed for the second time, I went to the hardware store and bought a Danco for cheap. Slip fit, easy install, no problem. Except I cannot for the life of me figure out how that set screw does anything, and I'm an engineer. Lo and behold the slip fit wore out within a year and it kept shooting off in the middle of showers. Not fun. Enter the search on Amazon for a good one. I found the other popular Moen, but the reviews said it was plastic instead of metal. Not for me. This model, however, had the same awesome reviews, especially the part about the screw clamp, but was metal for not much more money. Trust me it's worth it. Get one-day shipping and plan your alternate showers accordingly for the next day or so. Install was simple, just requires the right size hex key wrench. I needed a bit of silicone caulk around the spout as well since it still had a bit of a gap due to the way it tightened on my copper pipe, but your results may vary. Operation is super smooth, and mine even reverts when the water is turned off. Will update if anything changes!

This Moen replacement spout was exactly as described and appears of very high quality. I had purchased a plastic one and it just spotted up so easily that I wanted to replace it with a better quality one. This one has met expectations and I am happy with the purchase.

I tried replacing an old Moen spout that was installed along with the house when it was built back in 1996, thanks to the diverter having gone bad a long time ago and making a horrible squealing noise during showers if anybody turned any other water on (and sometimes even when they didn't). I had used an aftermarket "universal" part from Home Depot which had an overly complicated multiple part adapter to get it to go onto the smooth slip-on copper pipe, but that one was needlessly difficult, didn't form a seal (leaked all over the place very badly) and then just about ruined the copper pipe when I was trying to take it back off. I gave up on that and went with the real Moen which was more or less the same as the original part, just a slight step up in attractiveness. This one installed with no trouble whatsoever, and apart from a very slight leakage most likely caused by the damage from the universal one (it left grooves in the copper that I couldn't completely sand out), it's working well. The new diverter is great after having spent years listening to the loud noise and watching the water running through the spout while the shower is on. I'm only marking this down a bit because the overall value is not ideal. There is no reason this part should cost so much. The aftermarket ones which are made with similar quality materials and only problematic in the design rather than the construction are SO much cheaper that I am confident this one is marked up a whole lot and could be sold for much less. I wouldn't expect it to be priced right with the generic parts but it also doesn't need to be 4 times as expensive. Twice as much would still be an improvement. My rating demotion seems appropriate to the overpricing. Otherwise, good part, and when the other tub spout needs replacing I guess I'll have to just buy this overpriced but quality part again.

Liked the look, so installed one in Jan 2020. About two years later I started having trouble getting the shower diverter to engage, and by April 2022 it broke. I stupidly thought that one was defective to I bought another. It's now a little over 2 years later, been having trouble getting it to engage for about a month now, and yesterday and the diverter rod broke off in my hand when I tried to take a shower. Don't waste your money.

Moen is a trusted brand. The spout feels heavy duty like with a nice polished finish. Initially, I was confused by the locking mechanism and thought it was defective. But I giggled it and the retention/locking mechanism dropped. After removing the old spot and cleaning the copper tubing, the new one slipped easily and locked in. A bit of white caulk for finishing touches.

Super simple to install. I paid a little less for a Danco at the store, and it worked fine for the one I replaced. Then I got this one for the other tub/shower, and it’s definitely better. The way it holds onto the pipe is sturdier and uses an allen screw which makes it easier to snug up. The other one I had was just a phillips head screw that holds the spout in place. More difficult to get that one as snug. Wish I didn’t throw out the packaging for that one. Should’ve just purchased two of these. Lesson learned, spend a little more and get something better. This took about a minute to install and works great.

This tub spout was easy to install. It looks great as a replacement for an older Moen spout that was not working very well anymore. All I had to do was slip it on the pipe from the wall and then tighten the screw at the back to keep it nice and tight. I turned on the water and there were no leaks so then I pulled the water stopper to start the shower and boom, shower comes right on. A great product for a good price. I highly recommend if you have to replace your tub spout.

The Moen diverter spout is much better than the one it replaced. The valve works smoothly and disengages when the water supply is turned off. This one directs all the water out the shower head. The difference in water pressure is quite noticeable. I paid extra for next day delivery but was disappointed when the delivery was delayed. Installation was simple as I had the correct sized Allen key. None is provided with this item. I am very pleased with the quality of this item

Good replacement product from original which was gummed up. Very easy to install with a single set screw

I bought this in March 2019. The cheap plastic diverter has completely worn out and now just falls out of the spout. I bought this because it's chrome and easy to clean but they use an incredibly cheap part inside that makes this useless. Looks like I'm taking a bath until I replace this with a non-Moen product. Update: March 2021 Moen has excellent customer service and they sent me a replacement at no cost more than one year after original purchase. I have had no problems with the replacement at all maybe I got a dud. I’ll update my review to 4 stars from 1 because of the service from Moen they take care of their customers.

Good quality. Metal, not plastic. Was easy to install.

Had absolutely no complaints with the tub faucet until recently when the converter stopped pulling properly, causing it to be stuck on either shower or tub before having the piece completely fall out randomly on its own. Good purchase... if you want to replace your faucet again within a year or so.
