Helping a friend - we anticipated a 1/2” NPT connection for the tub filler spout….
so we installed a drop ell to go from PEX to brass and buried it in the wall….
the shower kit finally arrived today and the tub spout has a “slip on” connection over 1/2” copper sealed with o rings in the tub spout….
my question is:
Can I just solder a piece of pipe into a copper sweat to 1/2 NPT fitting and tighten it by using a strap wrench on the 1/2” pipe?
