What happens here
To finalize the installation and create a watertight seal, apply clear silicone caulk (DAP Kwik Seal Plus Kitchen, Bath & Plumbing) around the perimeter where the tub spout meets the wall tile. Use a contractor's sponge or your fingertip to smooth out the caulk line, ensuring it is even and neat. The clear caulk will dry invisibly, providing a professional finish and preventing water from getting behind the spout.
Goal: Seal the tub spout connection to prevent water damage
