Hopefully, this question makes sense. My bathroom shower is already tiled. 1/2"copper pipes behind the walls. My original plan for a showerhead was to use a basic arm that would have a male 1/2" to screw into the "90" behind the shower tile in the wall.
However, the showerhead that I wanted only came with a slip-on 1/2" connection. Yet, there is no copper pipe extended from the shower wall to complete the slip-on connection.
Ideally, I would solder a length of copper 1/2" pipe to a male connector and screw that assembly into the wall. However, it seems like the copper pipe would be too fragile to screw into the "90".... and I would either damage it with my pipe wrench OR I could potentially break the soldered connection.
Any ideas? Is there a device for this particular scenario. Worse case, I can open up the drywall in the room behind the shower, so I can access the 90 and fix this issue.
Thanks in advance.
