Hello,
I was wondering if I could rip the plastic guts out of a push fit spout and use it as a threaded style?

I installed a new tub spout that throws water in a wide cone pattern and back onto the wall tile. Messy.
To replace it, I got my hands on a long heavy spout (Pfister 920-911A), but it's a push fit style and my ~2-1/2" copper stub seems inadequate to support such a spout....it will accept around 6" of copper pipe.

Any suggestions?

no, try the new spout and see how it works, think you would be fine if its an inch past the o ring

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
