I'm not sure if I'm using the correct terminology but I will give it a shot. I've been working on remodeling my bathroom and I am close to being finished. I'm now at the point of changing out the old tub spout for the new one. The copper pipe sticks out and has no threads. So I need the slip-on spout that tightens with the hex screw. When the tub is running there are no leaks. When I pull on the spout PIN for the shower the water comes out of the shower head great, but at the same time I have water shooting from the front of the spout back into the walk. I have smoothed out the copper pipe, used plumbers grease to slip on the spout, put in new O-Rings. It looks like when tightening the hex screw it may have been too tight causing the copper pipe to not be a perfect round shape. I have taken a pair of pliers and shaped it back, by looking at it, it looks completely round. Can anyone give me any advance as to what is causing my backsplash issue. My old spout worked find. Now just taking it off and putting a new one on is causing me a lot of headaches and much add stress. I would hate to call a plumber to just put on a spout.
Thanks for your help,
Joey
