I’m working on my first big home remodel project and I’ve made a couple of mistakes with the tub spout. This is what happened:
Without realizing it, I bought a Moen tub spout that had a threaded attachment aaaallllll the way at the front of the spout near the diverter the copper pipe on the wall did not have the necessary threaded female end. So I went and bought a slip-on adapter for the pipe with the female end. I’d already measured incorrectly once, so I wanted to fit the pipe before I cut off any more of the copper. The problem is, the spout screws on and the adapter can spin a bit on the copper pipe. So, the spout now sits about 1/2’ off the wall but I can’t get the spout to spin in or out and the adapter that I think is the problem is actually inside the spout.
Is there any way to fix this or am I just doomed?
