DELTA FAUCET Stainless Tub Spout RP34357SS - Pull-Up Diverter

In this review of the DELTA FAUCET stainless tub spout RP34357SS, the bottom line is simple: this is a practical replacement part for homeowners and DIY plumbers who need a straightforward, OEM-quality tub spout with a pull-up diverter. The reviewer found it best for anyone replacing a Victorian-style spout or repairing a faucet where fit and finish matter. The single biggest reason to buy is the genuine Delta replacement fit and reliable function, which makes installation quick and keeps the tub/shower diverter working as intended.

Key Features

• Genuine Delta repair part: Being an OEM component ensures a precise fit and consistent operation with compatible Delta valves and fittings.
• 7-1/2 in total length: The overall length provides proper reach from the wall to the tub outlet for most standard installations.
• Sweat onto 1/2 in C. W. T.: The sweat connection option allows a soldered installation for a secure, watertight joint when preferred.
• Thread onto 1/2 in IPS nipple: The threaded capability means it can also mount directly to an existing 1/2 in IPS nipple for a fast swap without rework.
• Pull-up diverter: The integrated diverter switches flow to the shower with a simple upward motion, restoring shower function without replacing the whole valve.

Who It's For

Homeowners and handypersons who need a direct, genuine Delta replacement part will appreciate this spout; it is aimed at those who want a simple repair that restores original function and appearance. Anyone replacing a Victorian pull-up diverter spout or matching a stainless finish will find the RP34357SS convenient and familiar.

People who need specialized finishes, custom lengths, or a plastic-free construction for every internal component should look elsewhere. Likewise, if a complete faucet overhaul is planned rather than a spout swap, a full faucet replacement could be a better choice.

Pros & Cons
