I have a tub spout htat is just roached and i need to replace it badly. The problem is.the old spout is about 40 yrs old and coneected way inside.the one I need to install has the threaded portion right at the end of the tube. unfortunately it is not an option to rip out the tile and replace entire tube. Is there a way to cut and rethread the tube w/o opening the wall and removing the tube? Thanks!
If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to. Go here tr.im/T0OSg Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.
you do not need to thread a pipe. There are pipe ends that are already threaded. you can solder it to a length of copper pipe and then install that into the diverter. Leave it the pipe long then you can measure how much you need sticking out of the wall and cut it accordingly with a tubing cutter. Solder another threaded end onto that and install your spout. Make sure you use teflon dope tape on all threaded connections.
I am a plumber and what you are seeing is a male adapter that has been soldered on to the end of the copper pipe. You have two options. The first thing you can do is unthread the piece that is in your new tub spout then: Take a torch and heat up the fitting and with a pair of channel locks pull of the old fitting then solder on a new 1/2 female adapter. Or cut it off as close as you can to the fitting and they make a compression fitting with threads on the other side. A compression fitting is a nut and threads and when you tighten it it becomes water tight then put some teflon tape on the threads and screw on your new tub spout.
