: The threads on the hand-held bracket don't seem to quite fit the showerhead pipe. After turning one or maybe one and a half turns, the bracket slips off. It seems to get tighter up to the point that it slips off. : I've replaced the regular shower-head in the past, so I think that the threads are standard. I can re-attach : the original head, so i don't think the threads are stripped. I purchased a replacement bracket from my : Home Depot, and the same thing occurs with it. Any suggestions? Reply: The threads are the same, 1/2". Plastic female threads could strip easily, the part(s) could possibly be defective or if it's plastic, try a brass connector. e-plumber
