Hello, I've replaced my shower valve in the wall and now I am at the last part. I bought a new Moen tub faucet and it looks though you are supposed to slide it over half inch copper pipe coming from the wall. I have a threaded female drop ear connection in the wall so I bought a male shark bite fitting to thread into it - thinking I would just insert copper into the other end of the sharkbite.
The problem that I am having is that I can only hand thread the shark fitting so far but it far enough in that I cannot put my 7/8 wrench on it to tighten it. Now the shark bite is sticking out of the wall and the new tub spout would not be flush with the tile if I tried to install it. Is there another way to do this?
Some pics are attached.
thanks
