    Tub spout leaking at the allen key hole when water is turned on
    My danze tub spout is leaking at the allen key hole when the water is turned on. How do I fix it or is this normal?

    Hi Jen

    Nope... not normal... ;)

    Loosen/remove the allen screw and then twist and pull the old tub spout to take it off.

    Purchase a new universal fit tub spout of similar type from home depot or Lowe's. Be sure to bring the old tub spout with you (pack it in a plastic bag) for comparison, if needed.

    If your old tub spout has orings purchase a small container of silicone grease while at the store. If your tub spout is threaded purchase some pipe dope for the threads.

    If you need to discuss more let me know...
