Hello Plumbing Pros,
I need your help.
I am remodeling my bathroom, which includes getting new tiles around the tub/shower surround and new tub/shower fixtures. It seems my contractor didn't know what he was doing when he installed the plumbing for the fixtures. The pipe that sticks out from the tiled wall for the tub spout was supposed to stick out between 1/2" to 11/16", per the installation instructions for my tub spout. But instead, it doesn't stick out at all. It's completely flush with the surface of the tiled wall. So now the tub spout, which has the female end in it, cannot connect to it.
Please tell me what I can do? Is there some kind of pipe extension that I can attach to get the 1/2" minimum that I need? If it helps, the tub spout installation instructions says: 3/4" NPT-FIP. Sorry, I don't really know what this means.
Thank you in advance.
