Delta Faucet RP34357RB Venetian Bronze Diverter Spout - Replacement

In this review of the Delta Faucet RP34357RB Venetian Bronze diverter spout, the bottom line is straightforward: this is a practical replacement for homeowners or installers who need a correct-fit tub spout with a classic finish. It is best for anyone repairing a Delta Victorian-style tub and who values a direct, screw-on installation. The main reason to buy is fit and compatibility: it threads onto a 1/2-in IPS nipple or sweats onto copper and matches existing Delta fixtures, making repair simpler than replacing an entire valve or spout assembly.

Key Features

• Genuine replacement part: Provided by Delta so buyers get a part designed to match original faucet geometry and thread sizes for reliable fit.
• Dual connection options: The spout offers both sweat onto 1/2-in copper water tubing and threaded attachment to a 1/2-in IPS nipple, giving flexibility for different plumbing setups.
• 7-1/2-in total length: A precise length that mirrors common Victorian-style tubs and ensures the water clears the tub rim without awkward splashback.
• Venetian Bronze finish: A dark, oil-rubbed tone that blends with traditional and transitional bathrooms while resisting visual mismatch with other Delta pieces.
• Included documentation: General instructions and troubleshooting steps are provided for the DIYer to ease installation and reduce guesswork.

Who It's For

This spout is ideal for homeowners, handymen, and plumbers replacing a lost or damaged Delta Victorian pull-up diverter spout who need a direct replacement with assured compatibility. It suits bathrooms where the 7-1/2-in reach and Venetian Bronze finish match existing hardware and where either sweat or threaded connections are present.

It is less appropriate for someone who wants a different style or a non-Delta universal spout, or for installations that require custom lengths or nonstandard connection types. If durability concerns about internal materials are paramount, an installer may prefer to inspect internal components or consider alternative models.

Pros & Cons
