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.

Sioux Chief 972-15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sioux Chief 972 tub spout thread onto my existing 1/2 inch pipe stub coming out of the wall?
Yes, if that stub is threaded 1/2 inch iron pipe. The 972 Series spout has a 1/2 inch FIP (female iron pipe) inlet at the nose, so it screws straight onto a threaded 1/2 inch copper, brass, or galvanized supply nipple with no adapter. If your rough-in is a bare copper tube with no threads (a slip-fit stub), this is the wrong spout for that opening, you need a slip-on style instead.
2) What is the difference between Sioux Chief 972-10 and 972-15?
The diverter. Model 972-15 is the diverter version, with a pull-up nose diverter that sends water to the shower head and resets when the tub tap is shut off. Model 972-10 is the non-diverter spout, a plain tub filler with no shower function. Both share the 1/2 inch FIP inlet, zinc body, and chrome-plated finish.
3) Can I use the Sioux Chief 972 spout to replace a worn or sticking tub spout on a service call?
That is one of its main uses, provided the old spout came off a threaded 1/2 inch IP nipple. Unthread the old spout, check the nipple condition, and thread the 972 on in its place. If the existing spout was clamped or set-screwed onto smooth copper tube, the FIP inlet will not engage and you need a slip-fit replacement.
4) Which tub spout do I order for a tub-only installation with no shower head?
Order the non-diverter version, model 972-10. The diverter model (972-15) only makes sense where there is a shower riser and head to divert to. For a tub-only filler the non-diverter spout is the correct part and there is no diverter knob to stick or leak later.
5) Will a chrome tub spout match the rest of the chrome trim in my units?
The 972 Series is chrome-plated only, so it lines up with standard polished chrome valve trim and shower heads, which is what most multi-family and rental bathrooms already run. If your buildings are standardized on brushed nickel or matte black, this spout will not match, there is no other finish in the series.
6) How does the Sioux Chief 972-15 diverter work, and does the tenant have to reset it?
It is a nose-style pull-up diverter. Lift the knob at the spout outlet and flow redirects from the tub filler up to the shower head. When the tub tap is shut off the diverter resets automatically, so the next person gets tub flow rather than an unexpected shower.
7) Is the Sioux Chief 972 spout metal or plastic?
Metal. The body is zinc with a chrome-plated finish, so it stands up to the repeated push and pull of diverter use and gives you a bright, corrosion-resistant exposed surface rather than a concealed-fitting finish.
8) How are Sioux Chief 972 tub spouts packaged for a distributor or a multi-unit job?
They come 50 each per case from the manufacturer, which is why they work as a stocking item for wholesalers and as a bulk buy on apartment or hotel bath renovations where you are changing out dozens of spouts at once. Country of origin is Taiwan.
