Goofed this up pretty good... We just bought our first house and I noticed the diverter on the tub spout was bad. I bought another, slip-on spout and was able to finally get the old spout off. The old spout was connected at the front of the spout (about 5 inches from the wall). The press fitting on the new spout begins about an inch from the back of the spout and the instructions stated 1" min, 2.5" max and if the tube coming out of the wall was longer than 2.5" just go ahead and cut it. I cut it to 2" from the wall before I realized that the fitting is too small for the pipe and that it's a pipe - not a tube.
So now I have a pipe sticking out from the shower wall that has no threads on it and I'm not sure to adapt it to fit the spout I have or another I may go get. To be clear, I know it was a stupid move - I've just never done this kind of thing before. Anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
