That seems too long for a 5' tub. Have you looked at Brizo's Odin line? Slightly more modern looking but could still work in a transitional bath.

A lot of tub spouts are about 7 - 8" . I don't think the extra 2 " is a big deal. You normally don't stand that close to the wall of the tub where you might bump into it.

It really is designed more for a drop in soaker tub where that added length is needed. Maybe look into another model or go home and tape a piece of cardboard or paper onto your existing spout and see what you think

Thank you, I'll try that!
