Hi all... The goal was to remove an old tub spout and replace it with a new one.
Well, when I was unscrewing the old spout, what I was actually doing was twisting and torqueing the copper pipe about 3 inches inside the wall.
When it broke loose, I now have a tub spout in my hand, still attached to a short length of copper pipe (is this a "nipple"?).
Any idea of how I can proceed? Is it possible to replace the pipe that the tub spout normally screws on to?
Thanks for any advice you can provide!
