Step 2 · Identify the Spout Type

To determine the correct removal procedure, you must first identify your spout type. Get down low and look closely at the underside of the spout, right where it meets the wall. If you see a small hole, you likely have a slip-on spout which is secured by a set screw inside that hole. You may need a flashlight to see it clearly. If there is absolutely no hole or screw on the top, bottom, or sides of the spout base, you have a thread-on (or screw-on) spout.
