Danco, Inc. 10008 Danco Tub Spout Remodel Ring, Brushed Nickel

This Danco spout ring was the ideal solution for a specific issue I was experiencing in our children's bathroom. Our problem was a 1/4-inch gap between the tile wall and the spout, which if not repaired could have allowed water to pool behind the wall. Because I couldn't ignore the problem and the diverter spout couldn't be tightened any further, I had no choice but to cut the copper pipe by about 1/4 inch or use this spacer. Because I didn't want to risk the spout threading incorrectly after hacksawing it, I added this spacer. Regardless, thanks to some malleable foam, this ring fit right over the copper pipe, and the diverter spout was tightened right up around it; leading to a pleasant-looking, water-filled pond The spout is crammed into a small space. The ring is made of a thin metal that has been polished. br>This ended up being a fantastic, low-cost solution to the potentially costly (water damage) or dangerous (black mold) consequences of water getting behind our bathroom tile wall. For your convenience, I've included some images below.

I chose this stainless 10007 escutcheon over the Danco model 80001 only because I read somewhere that this one is 3/8" deep and the other is only 1/4" deep (although now I see 1/2" specs for both, so I guess I made a mistake). I needed one that was at least 3/8" deep to fill my gap, and it didn't matter to me whether it was metal or plastic for such a small trim piece because they both look and perform the same. Unfortunately, my tub spout pipe emerges from the wall crooked, resulting in a 3/8-inch gap. This model has a raised metal back plate against which the tub spout sits, severely limiting the ability to adjust the depth at which the spout can sit within the ring. That plate is only about 1/8" below the top of the trim ring, and the rest of the 1/4" depth is behind that plate, which is filled with that foam piece. What a vexing concept! Instead of returning it, I took out my tin snips and cut splices around the inner plate for 3/4 of the circle, then bent the "teeth" tightly back and out of the way, trimmed them so they didn't extend beyond the base to avoid hitting the wall. . . and finally cut a groove into the foam for the teeth to fit in! br>br>Now the tub spout could go past that plate on the side where it was screwed to the wall. Although this retrofit was successful, it took me several hours to complete. In this case, I would have preferred the 8001 hollow ring design because it was simpler and more flexible, but I managed to make it work.

Especially if you have a Kohler tub faucet that needs to be replaced. NOTE: Check the bottom of this review if you have a Kohler spout. br>br>If I could, I'd give it a ten-star rating. It has a smooth, even finish with no burs or mars and a nickel-like appearance. The brushed nickel finish is a perfect match for Kohler products. br>br>The kit includes the plate itself as well as a flexible foam piece that fits inside it and fits over any standard copper pipe used for a faucet or tub spout. br>br>After a few years, I had a Kohler diverter fail. Kohler not only offers a lifetime warranty on their products and sent me a replacement, but they also decided to lengthen the spouts. I was irritated because my spout was only about 7 years old. br>br>Kohler sent me two replacements, but they're both about an inch longer than my spout, so the spout hits the wall before I can screw it onto the pipe. br>br>My choices were limited:
1. Obtain the services of a plumber to cut my pipe back. br>2. Cut the pipe and/or use a slip-on hose. on the spout (no fan).
3. Purchase an adapter for the replacement spout and cross my fingers that it will provide enough length to allow me to install the spout. br>br>On the advice of my plumber, I chose option 3. Unfortunately, the shortest adapter I could find was about a half-inch too long, leaving a 5/8" gap between the wall and the spout. I ordered a Danco spout ring to use as an escutcheon because it was an eyesore to say the least. br>br> It almost made up for the void. There is still a gap, but it's only about 1/32" or so, and it's barely noticeable. br>br>NOTE: if you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, this is the place to be This is what I ordered for my Kohler spout, which was a few years old. A Devonshire spout with about 3 5/8" pipe running out of the wall was replaced. A 4" pipe run is used in the new ones. I purchased an Anderson Metals Brass Pipe Fitting, Adapter, 1/2" Male Pipe x 1/2" Female Pipe, which allowed me to use the new Devonsire spout with a gap, but only temporarily. So I purchased this Danco product; however, if you can find a shorter pipe adapter, you may not require the Danco ring.

This piece was nowhere to be found in the local plumbing and hardware stores. My bathroom needed a new shower stall, and the tile installer was inexperienced. On the hole around a valve diverter I'd plumbed in, he didn't use a circular cut. He drilled a hole that was larger than the valve's cover plate. I required something with a diameter of one inch. It all came down to this. It was brushed nickel to match the valve diverter and it did the job for a very low price.
