Good afternoon.
I have accidentally snapped my showerhead arrm off. I was able to unscrew the remaining pipe out of the elbow that is in the wall. In doing so, I think that I have damaged the threads in the elbow. When trying to install the new arm I can only get it to turn 1/4 of 1 turn without any teflon tape on it.
My question is can I re-tap the elbow that is in the wall? The elbow is behind tile and I would love to avoid having to break out any tile. If I can, can anyone point me in the right directions as to what tap to buy?
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
