Hi guys,
I recently renovated my bathroom and am struggling with the final piece, connecting the tub spout. The spout is part of a Pfister Selia tub and shower combo. When the plumber was here to do the rough in, I was unaware that the pipe for the tub spout needed to be threaded in order to connect it. It is currently just a half inch copper pipe. I contacted Pfister and they sent a plastic adapter that does not appear to fit well at all (the plastic will not allow the spout to sit tightly against the wall).
I am thinking my best bet is to add threads to the copper pipe but I want to make sure I am getting the proper part. I am assuming I need to solder on the following part but would love someone to confirm before I go too far down the wrong road and make a mistake.
