I need to fix my faucet in my bath tub?
Question:the bath tub spout fell off and I need to solder the pipe, but the pipe is not accessable with the shower inclosure. What is the best way, without removing the inclosure to fix?
Answers:
Believe it or not there is a new adhesive for copper fittings,
I'm not positive that it will work on old pipes, but if you can clean the existing fitting it may be worth trying. I saw it advertised at HD and Lowes
Just hook up a hose to the shower part then.
U need to go to a hardward and get the complete part and then repair it-the pipes are in the wall behind the bathtub, maybe a closet or something.
Make sure water is turned off behind the tub wall before starting. There is a turn on and off valve there.
There is a set screw underneath the spout its self.All you need is an allen wrench or the proper tool matching that screw.It is very simple,and by the way..there HAS to be a shut off access behind the tub! Good Luck!
