I'm going to replace my old Kohler tub spout. Thank you for making the video.

Can you still rotate the spout? I tighten the bottom screw but it still rotates

[@TechWallsReview]

Yeah it might rotate but it's not important. That tiny screw keeps the spout in place and I never touch it.

[@dpcuellar5853]

Do you turn off the main water line?

[@TechWallsReview]

Yes I did.

Don't use plumbers putty on the plastic tubs and shower surrounds.

[@TechWallsReview]

You can get plumbers putty that is non‐staining

@@TechWallsReview Plumber’s putty is generally not recommended for use on plastic materials. It can cause damage over time due to the chemicals in the putty. For sealing or installing plastic fixtures, it’s better to use a silicone-based caulk or sealant, which is designed to be safe for plastics and provides a waterproof seal.

@@shadan345 I know everyone says putty can damage acrylic tubs but I haven't seen one. My current tub has been there for over 40 years, they used putty on the drain and when I replaced it, I couldn't see any damage.
