OK, thanks for all your time! I'm considering the Rituipio wall support (amazon) or something of the sort. But holding off for now given world news. With everything turning topsy turvy it doesn't pay at this point to bother with anything major until seeing how everything plays out. o_O So...

Thanks - but i wasn't proposing putting the extension pipe the way the Blue-Text-picture shows. Rather the way the White-Text EBAY picture shows. So at this point, is there a best solution for a short person (me) who already owns a 69" good-quality metal hose, 12" pipe-extension, and wants to...

So this isn't similar to a lever & fulcrum, where the longer the extension pipe is, the more it can put pressure on the threads? Which is why i thought bracing screws would be a good idea, though it may have to be done with screws-and-anchors. Did you note the nipple option doesn't seem to...

Which of my attached options would be least likely to wear out my shower-riser threads that are behind my wall tiles? Please refer to my attachments showing: (1) Screw-In Option (with explanatory text) (2) Z-Style Option (ditto) (3) Nipple Option (ditto)

OK thanks. I finally got it stripped off my BIL's tub, as he moved & his house being gutted. A guy wanted BIL's boiler, so in exchange he stripped off the adapter for me (earlier i'd unscrewed the associated pulldown which i soaked in vinegar for hours). I figured just in case my American...

Are the threaded tub-spout-adapters that are sold nowadays identical to those that were sold 15-20 years ago? I'm talking about the ones sold with the Delta pullDown diverter-spouts. I'm hoping to get the answer to this ASAP, otherwise it will be too late. I can explain later.

Of course i realized it was a hijack, thus stated "sarcastically speaking"... I only happened to hop back here cuz though i'd unsubscribed this post, a similar Q yielded my past post in dropdown. Though i knew bots are on reddit, i didn't know they're crawling everywhere for crying out loud...

Sarcastically speaking, thank you so much for answering my OP. I've unsubscribed from here even though i'm the OP & anyway its outdated cuz i've already helped myself.

I see, thanks. So it's just a matter of different quality plastic in different products, that causes threading to be problematic. Meantime i'm in midst of a way more complex issue, cuz my shower-pipe & shower-arm wobbles. See, due to my 50's home, i don't have standard studs/drop-ears securing...

How does the American-Standard Pull-Up diverter-spout compare? Because i bought one of those for approx. $26. It's made of metal.

I've seen people state that plastic threads don't pair well with metal threads. Well, if that's the case, why do faucet-suppliers insert a plastic liner inside metal spouts. The plastic liner contains internal threads that are meant to be screwed onto a metal combo consisting of adapter+nipple...

Fifteen years ago, were all Delta pull-down diverter spouts metal like the discontinued RP17454 model? Or were some plastic even back then? Here is the discontinued Delta model: https://www.faucetdirect.com/delta-rp17454-5-1-4-diverter-wall-mounted-metal-tub-spout/p210196 The reason i ask, is...

I'm in need of a suitable pull-down or pull-up diverter spout. Unfortunately i just ordered a Danco pull-down-diverter tub-spout, but only afterward saw reviews stating the O-ring degrades very quick. I might have lived with that, by buying a pack of #11 O-rings (though i wished they'd be...

Now i see that Moen is up to the same tricks. To my disappointment, their Banbury trim kit finally seemed like what i was looking for. Then....oh no! I see many complaints that Banbury is now plastic junk and people were duped, either buying off Amazon or at big box stores.

Hi, I'm considering the merits of a Chrome Moen trim-kit (vs. Delta), but my criteria are: I want the Moen Handle-Lever to be cylindrically-rounded (similar to Delta's cassidy or H712 handle. Also i want the diverter-tub-spout as follows: ..the water should flow down 5 1/4" from tile wall. I...

(1) If i want a diverter-tub-spout reach to be 5.25" is that hard to find? I want the water to flow down 5.25" from the wall-tiling. For example, in this URL, it shows a 5.5" spout length, but the spout-reach is only 5.188" rather than 5.25"...

Thanks so much again for your thorough suggestions! Now my immediate concern is: I'm expecting a callback soon from the plumber, and it's possible he is handy enough to tackle these two types of wall-panels alongside his plumbing installation.... The problem is, that he tends to interrupt as...

You must buy the whole surround? Delta doesn't offer them in single panels? If so, then perhaps a handyman can obtain a panel (of the non-glue version) and anchor it to the studs. As for the corners, Delta ought to offer corner-glue-ons, no different than they offer surround-glue-ons. Another...

But i don't need an entire tub-surround, and furthermore, the Delta tub-surround needs to be glued on. Whereas at my place, the narrow-wall where the spout-fixtures are, would be knocked out for purposes of plumbing, thus no solid backing for gluing on. I researched and saw there are surrounds...

Thanks so much for taking the time to list ball-park estimates. I wouldn't be using it as a classic shower, because that's more like shock-treatment than therapeutic to me. Rather (if i ever would get around to a handheld), i'd only apply it while seated on floor of tub. The handheld would be...
