I have an-wall drop ear elbow in my new shower which will receive a short brass nipple which will connect to an outside drop ear (for a hand shower hose). Since I don't have a lot of leeway on the outside to position the elbow - it must point down and it can't be too tight against the marble tile - what would be the best sealant for the in-wall connection? Would Teflon thread sealant (pipe dope) give me more flexibility to position the elbow while still ensuring the best seal than Telfon tape? Thanks!
