    Awesome. You were right. Still under warranty from Moen. One is on the way. I told them about the ones I found available online. Through the Moen website every other part except the valve body was available. Thanks for the suggestion.

    thread size question

    Thanks guys. I'll see what I can do with a file. Alternatively, online, it looks like I can get a brand new rough-in valve (part 69300 I think) for roughly $35-50 (with a drain assembly I don't need). It is a 4" set- "mini-widespread" they call it. That's less than the cost than buying a die...

    Thanks Gary. So far we haven't been able to find a plumbing shop that will do this, but we'll keep trying. Does M24x1.25 sound like a standard faucet-sized thread?

    Why would NIBCO/CPI Durapex PEX split (lengthwise) and leak?

    how to remove a very short nipple for tub spout

    thanks for your help! We bought the nipple extractor, got the old one out, cleaned the elbow and put the new brass nipple in... The hardest part was getting the old nipple off of the nipple wrench. (We ended up tapping it with a screwdriver.) Success! but... the elbow was dry when we had it...

    how to remove a very short nipple for tub spout

    Ok, the hardware store has them after all. I just needed to find an employee who'd heard of them... Wish me luck, hopefully we can stop the drip!

    how to remove a very short nipple for tub spout

    Hello, I'm new here- We have determined there is a slow leak where the tub spout nipple attaches to the galvanized elbow behind the wall. That junction hopefully just needs new teflon tape and dope, etc, or a new nipple. So we'd like to get it out. Unfortunately it's a very short nipple, with...
