: Please ignore the first part of the original post. I can figure out length and secure spout by securing pipng to studs but I am still interested in following question. Is there a way to plan so the spout does not end up 20 degrees short of down when completely tightened? If this happens do I simply back it off 340 degrees and hope it isn't too loose or would I have to resolder the nipple in a different position? Thanks in advance.
