This is an RSS feed of thread: Should I tighten a screw on tub spout more than I can by hand?
Content of the thread: I remodeled the master bath. I'm trying to put the tub spout on but having a hard time getting it flush to the wall. It's a screw on type and I have 1/2 galvanized pipe protruding from the tile. Instructions say end of pipe should be out from the tile wall 5 3/16 - 5 5/16. At first I had it at 5 1/4. I can only get the spout to turn about 2 full turns before it gets tighter than I can do by hand. I don't want to mar up the finish and use a pipe wrench. At first I had a good 1/4 inch gap between wall and wall end of spout. I was able to get the pipe to thread into the fitting behind the wall about another 3/16. Now I can only get the spout to 9 o'clock by hand and I've still got about 1/8 inch gap.
