Setup and Installation
Tools Required: Adjustable wrench, pipe thread sealant (Teflon tape), measuring tape, screwdriver (if applicable).
- Prepare the Area: Ensure the water supply to the tub is turned off. Clear the area around the existing tub spout or the new installation point.
- Remove Old Spout (if applicable): If replacing an existing spout, unscrew or loosen the set screw (usually located underneath the spout) and pull the old spout off the pipe. Clean any old sealant or debris from the pipe.
- Apply Sealant: Apply pipe thread sealant or Teflon tape clockwise around the threads of the pipe extending from the wall.
- Install New Spout: Carefully thread the DELTA Flynn Tub Spout onto the pipe. Ensure it is aligned correctly and tighten by hand. Do not overtighten.
- Secure the Spout: If your model includes a set screw, tighten it gently from underneath the spout to secure it firmly to the wall pipe.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the water supply and check for any leaks around the base of the spout. If leaks occur, turn off the water, re-tighten the spout, and re-test.
Note: This tub spout is designed for single-hole, wall-mount installation. Installation hardware is included.
Operating Instructions
The DELTA Flynn Tub Spout RP77091 features a simple pull-up diverter mechanism for controlling water flow.
- Filling the Tub: To fill the bathtub, ensure the diverter knob on top of the spout is in the down position. Water will flow directly from the spout into the tub.
- Using the Shower: To divert water to the showerhead, pull the knob on top of the spout upwards. Water flow will redirect from the tub spout to the connected showerhead.
- Returning to Tub Flow: Once the shower is turned off, or when you wish to return water flow to the tub spout, the diverter knob will typically drop back down automatically. If it does not, gently push it down.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning and proper maintenance will help preserve the finish and functionality of your tub spout.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or chemical-based cleaning agents (such as CLR or similar strong descalers) on the spout, as these can damage the plastic material and chrome finish.
- Diverter Maintenance: If the pull-up diverter becomes stiff or difficult to operate, ensure it is clean and free of mineral buildup. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts if necessary, but avoid petroleum-based products.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water leaks from base of spout. | Improperly sealed or loose connection to wall pipe. | Turn off water supply. Remove spout, reapply pipe thread sealant/Teflon tape, and re-install, ensuring a snug fit. |
| Diverter does not fully engage/disengage. | Mineral buildup or debris in diverter mechanism. | Clean the diverter area. If necessary, gently work the diverter up and down to dislodge debris. Avoid forcing it. |
| Low water flow from spout. | Restriction in water supply or aerator (if present). | Check water supply valves. Ensure no debris is blocking the spout's opening. This model is designed for unrestricted flow. |
