I'm replacing a wall end threaded spout that was broken and didn't divert the water to the shower head anymore,
Upon removing the spout it came loose from the connection to the elbow and not the back of the spout, this revealed a galvanized threaded nipple heavily corroded.
I purchased a new spout and this time a brass nipple,
Problem is I can't get the brass nipple threaded very far into the elbow, the female threads have pieces of rust/corrosion including what I believe to be a piece of thread from the galvanized pipe.
Any ideas?
