Removing a bathtub faucet with no screw is not as difficult as it may first appear. Many people refer to the bathtub spout as the bathtub faucet. Older bathtub faucet spouts screw onto the bathtub plumbing. Before attempting to unscrew the spout, it is a good idea to make doubly sure no screw is securing the bathtub faucet spout. The screw may be hidden from view under the spout.

Step 4

Turn the bathtub faucet spout counterclockwise with the pipe wrench until you can twist the spout by hand. Remove the wrench and finish unthreading the spout by hand and remove it from the wall.
