Step 2 · Identify Spout Type (Slip-on vs. Thread-on)

To determine the correct removal procedure, you must first identify your spout type. Inspect the underside of the spout, right against the wall. Look for a small hole. You may need a flashlight to see clearly. If you see a small screw (usually a hex screw) inside this hole, you have a 'slip-on' spout. If there is no hole and no screw, the spout is a 'thread-on' type, which simply unscrews from the pipe.
