Delta Victorian T2755-NNLHP Bathroom Roman Tub Faucets Pearl Nickel Logo
Posted on Jan 30, 2009

Delta faucet is loose ;moves right-left/wobbles. Tightening?

How do I tighten the fitting to get a more secure mount? It is a I believe Victorian style tub fixture with single handles alongside faucet which are fine, but the water faucet fixture is wobbly and needs to be tightened and adjusted. I need information on mechanics to get this resolved.

If you have Delta brand Roman tub faucet, it seems the spout being loose is a common installation problem. If you do not have an access panel to anchor or tighten the loose pipe below the spout, it can get expense really fast. I have lived with a loose spout for many years. Thanks to this photo (mine looks same), I figured out a cheaper solution. I bought 2 galvanized 1/8th inch thick washers with an inside diameter that fits around the pipe. Cut them in half. Used flathead screwdriver to lift up existing washer. Slid in both halves from both sides to make circle around pipe. That was still not enough so I used second one. Reassembled spout with hex screw. Works like a champ.

Try tightening the allen set screw behind the spout "you need a special (allen keys) to do this, and one should have came with your faucet". You can also buy or borrow an set of them.

I personally would not call this plumber back if that was his prognosis. Sounds like it might have a stripped thread you could possibly try some loctite on the portion of thread before tightening or just replace the unit especially if it has age on it's side. Good Luck..

I have a Moen Monticello bathroom faucet. I am

Moving left to right: I am not an expert, but I have installed a fair number of faucets. Seems like a basic issue of just getting under the sink and tightening up. Make sure someone is topside to assure the faucet stays straight and does not move as you tighten up below. It is never easy to get a wrench and your hands in the proper position to tighten up the nut, but don't give up try a smaller Channel lock wrench if necessary.

Delta 473 faucet very loose where it meets the granite

This is a view from the underside of our sink. Is this what you were talking about? The steel plate is W-shaped (upside down in this case) and has a single nut larger than 3/4". It's almost impossible to fit a wrench up there to tighten it.
