Went to replace our old tub spout and can't seem to find an adapter that will screw on. The pipe is threaded male that's about 1" in diameter. I've bought 2 different adapters to screw onto it, and neither will thread on. I looked into doing the DELTA FAUCET RP5834 to see if that adapter would fit, but it says it's for a 1/2" pipe, and mine is bigger than that. Any suggestions on what I should use?
What do I need to replace leaky tub spout?

This kit attaches 1/2" and 3/4" threaded pipe and 1/2" copper pipe to a 1/2" threaded diverter spout with front diverter pull knob.

Its 1/2 inch or 3/4 just about 100 percent perhaps as low as 99 percent are 1/2 inch the od of 3/4 in over an inch1/2 inch od is around 7/8 . thats measuring on the body of the pipe not the tip of the tapered threads
It's too far back into the wall to measure past the threads... but the opening (what I can get to, where the threads are) is a little over an inch and the inner diameter is 3/4".
That OD description is compatible with nominal 3/4 inch OD, but ID for schedule 40 would be 0.824 inch.

ok youve got 3/4
Yeah, but a 3/4" extension nipple won't screw onto it. The threaded stub out is just too large.
