I'm no expert, but this is a very nice tub spout. I replaced our ten-year old one due to calcium corrosion, with this one from Kohler. A neighbor told me that his H*me Dep*t one didn't last a year, when I mentioned I was looking at Kohler. I wouldn't have found this product at any local home store, so thank you Amazon.Easy to install once the old one was removed. I recommend doing this while the hardware stores are open, just in case you need to fix the pipe that comes out of the wall.Made in Taiwan.
This spout has a misleading Technical Description. K-15136-S-CP is a slip-fit (o-ring and set screw). K-15136-CP is a NPT connection (threads onto plumbing fitting). The technical details state that it is NPT or Slip-Fit but when you receive the item, you will realize that you can only use K-15136-S-CP for a slip-fit and K-15136-CP for a NPT fitting.This product is nicer than any of the individual diverters that Home Depot and Lowes sell (I visited both this past weekend). It is all-metal construction and has a very nice finish. Just make sure you order the correct one for your plumbing.
Under no circumstances should you buy this item without reading the review by Stephen Spencer. I failed to read this review first and ended up with an item that wouldn't fit because the product description is not accurate. So, insta return for me and a waste of my time. Thanks Stephen Spencer, you tried to warn me.......
One issue is the limitation of brass fixtures in the building warehouses. I tried 2 replacement brass shower diverters and they didn't work reliably. I saw the Kohler and purchased it online. It arrived on schedule and works perfectly.
