American Standard Deluxe 5-1/8-Inch Diverter Tub Spout - AMS-8888022

Yes. The 8888022 Deluxe tub spout uses a 1/2 inch IPS threaded connection, so it screws onto a 1/2 inch threaded nipple coming out of the wall. If your existing spout slips over a 1/2 inch copper stub and locks with a set screw underneath, that is a slip-fit spout and this one will not work on it without changing the drop ell and nipple.

It measures 5-1/8 inches to the center of the stream straightener. That is the figure to check against your tub rim: you want the stream landing inside the tub, not on the edge. On a standard tub with the spout centered over the rim it clears fine, but on a deep or wide-ledge tub, measure from the finished wall to the inside face of the tub before you commit.

If what you are removing is a threaded spout on a 1/2 inch IPS nipple, yes, it is unthread the old one and thread this one on with fresh sealant on the nipple. The variable is nipple length: the 8888022 seats at a fixed depth, so if your existing nipple is cut long or short the spout may stand off the wall or bottom out. Check the nipple projection while the old spout is off and cut or change it before the new one goes up.

The pull-up diverter on the 8888022 redirects water from the tub spout to the shower head. You use it on a tub and shower combination where the valve itself is a two-port, non-diverting valve. If your valve already has its own diverter handle, you want a plain non-diverter spout instead, not this one.

Cast brass, not plastic with a plated shell. That matters in rental and multi-family work, where the diverter is the part that gets yanked on hardest and thin-wall spouts crack at the threads. Brass body also means it takes the weight if a resident uses it as a grab point.
