Removal of tub with delta roman spout, faucets
 

I am in the process of remodeling our master bath with a roman tub. The tub needs to be removed. Faucets came off fine but I can not figure out how tp remove the spout nipple. The home was built in 98.

Can you post a picture of the stub? Most have a top nut like the faucets---

Are you talking about the spout itself?

Sorry, no pic. The nipple has threads on two sides and is flat on the other two. The nipple sits on a washer which covers the hole in the tub which the assembly sits in. I think I am going to have to break into the frame surrounding the tub.

Not the spout that came off easy. Kane co. Used to live in St. Char
Les.

Have you put a wrench on the flats and tried to unscrew it?

I'm right off the river just north of the ground cover place

No, am concerned that might damage rough in. Was told there might be a lock nut underneath that needs to be removed before it can be unscrewed. I am trying to save the rough in assembly.

Where is ground cover place? We were out in the Windings late 70 early 80

east of the river---from Macks Silver Pheasant (now closed) north to Gilbert--(the Railroad and the old Quonset hut) where Dunham and 25 merge ---You would not recognize the area any more--Lots of new roads--two new bridges----one at Redgate road where the Little Woods School used to sit--another north of there parallel to the Great Nothern RR bridge---

About your faucet spout stub---are you sure the washer is not a nut threaded onto the threaded stub?

Ol mike, thanks for the chat. Sounds like a lot of changes out there. We are in fla now no snow! That was my thought at first. I was able to turn the washer but it did not loosen and there are no grips like the faucets have on their washers. I don't know about you but these little projects always turn into more than anticipated.

I spend a lot of time doing plumbing---and still run into goofy delays---

If the tub and faucet are going to be junked---You may wish to cut an access and see whats going on from below---

You definitely don't want to try spinning that spout, especially with the delta R.I. valve.....
You're going to need access below.
