The Slip-Fit Mount is the most commonly used Mount. It is designed to be used on 1/2 in. non-threaded pipes* - even though they may have slightly different outside diameters (O.D.).

• 1/2 in. copper (.625 O.D.)
• 1/2 in. galvanized or CPVC (.84 O.D.)

The differences in the copper and galvanized or CPVC pipe O.D. is accommodated by the use of different Seals and, in the case of mounting on copper, a Split Ring adapter. The different Seals (one for copper and one for galvanized or CPVC pipes) and the Split Ring adapter ship with the Slip-Fit Mount.

The ideal pipe length (measured from the wall) for using the Slip-Fit Mount is 1 1/2 in. However pipe lengths measuring from 1 1/4 in. to 1 3/4 in. are acceptable. A Trim Plate ships with the Auto Diverting Tub Spout. It has a depth of 3/8 in. and can be used to fill a gap between the wall and the back of the tub spout. It can also be used to cosmetically cover larger access openings to the tub spout's water supply. If using the Trim Plate, be sure to add its depth (3/8 in.) to the pipe length measurements previously provided.

* Special Consideration: Use On Formerly Threaded Pipe

The Slip-Fit Mount may be used on 1/2 in. threaded pipes if the threads can be cut-off and the pipe measures 1 1/4 in. to 1 3/4 in. from the wall after doing so.
