I went into the bathroom and turned on the tub ( probably the oldest jacuzzi known to man). Not trying to use the jets or anything....just the tub spout. I waited a little bit and then pulled the knob up to direct the water up to the shower and the tub spout shot off and landed on the bottom of the tub.:eek:
Am I cracking up? Is there some Secret Squirrel method for keeping your tub spout on the wall once the equipment gets a little long in the tooth? Pushed that baby back on and- once that knob was pulled up - off it flew again.

That is because it is loose and when you divert the water to the shower it puts pressure on the spout. There is a set screw on the bottom side of that spout that needs to be tightened....but I always prefer to replace the spout with the kind that threads on, you would have to solder a male fitting on the spout pipe to do that.

Tub spouts either screw onto a male threaded fitting on the end of a pipe from the wall, or slide onto a straight pipe from the wall and the spout is held on by an Allen wrench set-screw up in a slot underneath the spout.
You obviously have a slide-on spout that needs the set-screw tightened with an Allen wrench.
Good Luck!
