Using this Brizo Beauclere Diverter Tub Spout is a breeze. To switch from bath to shower, just give the spout a simple pull. It's really easy! When installing, you have two options. You can either sweat or slip it onto 1/2' CWT or thread it onto 1/2' NPT. Don't forget to use the included universal adapter (RP90472) if needed. As for maintenance, clean it regularly with a mild soap and a soft cloth to keep it looking new. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might damage the solid brass finish. If you have any problems during use, check the connections to make sure they're tight.
