Sioux Chief 972-15 Chrome-Plated Zinc Diverter Tub Spout, 1/2" FIP Nose Connection

Sioux Chief 972-15 Chrome-Plated Zinc Diverter Tub Spout, 1/2" FIP Nose Connection

The Sioux Chief 972-15 diverter tub spout is a nose-style diverter tub spout built for tub-and-shower rough-in connections, featuring a 1/2" FIP (female iron pipe) inlet that threads directly onto the copper or galvanized supply nipple extending from the wall. Constructed from a zinc body with a chrome-plated (CP) finish, this spout is engineered to hold up to the repeated push-and-pull actuation of daily diverter use while mating cleanly with standard 1/2" iron pipe thread rough-in plumbing. It is manufactured in Taiwan and ships 50 pieces to a case, making it a practical stocking item for plumbing wholesalers, remodel contractors, and service plumbers who need a dependable diverter spout on the truck.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 1/2" FIP inlet threads directly onto a standard 1/2" iron pipe thread supply nipple, matching common tub-and-shower rough-in stub-outs.
• Nose-Style Diverter: A pull-up nose diverter at the spout outlet redirects water flow from the tub filler to the shower head on demand, then resets automatically when the tub tap is shut off.
• Durable Zinc Construction: The zinc body is built to withstand the repeated diverter actuation and everyday wear that a tub spout sees in an active bathroom.
• Chrome-Plated (CP) Finish: The CP finish provides a bright, corrosion-resistant surface appropriate for a visible, exposed spout rather than a concealed rough-in fitting.
• FIP Threaded Connection: The female iron pipe threaded inlet simplifies installation onto a threaded copper, brass, or galvanized supply stub without requiring a separate adapter fitting.
• Contractor Case Pack: Packaged 50 EA per case from the manufacturer, suited to distributor stocking programs and multi-unit renovation jobs.

Why Sioux Chief?

Sioux Chief supplies plumbing contractors, remodelers, and distributors with rough-in and finish plumbing components built for the trade rather than the showroom. The 972-15 diverter tub spout pairs a zinc body with a chrome-plated finish and a straightforward 1/2" FIP threaded connection, giving installers a spout that threads directly onto standard rough-in plumbing without special adapters or modifications. Case-pack availability of 50 EA per carton keeps the part in stock on distributor shelves and on the truck, making the 972-15 a practical choice for both new construction and replacement service work.
