Hi guys,

I was taking a shower and then my shower faucet all of a sudden shot out from the wall. How do i fix, everything online says theres a screw, but i dont see the screw on mine just a clip thing. Do i need to buy a new spout or can this be fixed??

Thanks!

The Delta tub spout adapter either threads on with a 1/2" pipe nipple, or it's soldered on to 1/2" copper pipe.
You may want to unthread the adapter and solder it to the pipe.

I think your unit has a set screw. I think I see it in your photo. The set screw would need to be tightened against the pipe from the wall. If you still have questions, show us a photo of the pipe coming out of the wall.

You may want to unscrew the brass adapter out with your fingers if you can.

If you have an adapter, it may look like one below:
