nipple

I am currently replacing the trim kit in my ~30 year old bathroom in Oregon. The last thing I need to replace is the tub spout, and the spout in my kit is a slide-on. My old spout is an IPS connection with the threads all the way against the shower wall (see photo). My issue is that the nipple...

I'm unsure if there's a drip leak at the water heater outlet to nipple connection of my Bradford White gas water heater. I used 3.5 wraps of Megatape on the threads with a light to moderate amount of Rectorseal 5. It's impossible to see without removing the top cover. I just replaced the...

hi all, First, thanks for the approval. This is my first post. I’m certainly a novice when it comes to most things plumbing. I wanted to update my tub spout with a new trendy Delta but unfortunately the nipple pipe coming out of the wall isn’t right for the provider adapter. What’s my move...
