Using your Danze by Gerber Draper and Vaughn Tub Spout with Diverter is easy. First, make sure you have the right 1/2' copper or 1/2' IPS stub out nipple as it's sold separately. Install the spout on the wall using the 1 - hole wall - mount installation method. When you turn on the water, the spout will deliver water smoothly. The diverter allows you to switch the water flow as needed. As for maintenance, regularly wipe the spout with a soft, damp cloth to keep it clean. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they might damage the metal finish. Check the connections periodically to ensure there are no leaks. If you notice any issues, consult a professional plumber.
