I'm just about finished installing a new tile shower and I'm having trouble installing the decorative supply elbow so that it is flush with the tile.
A 2 inch nipple is too short to thread and a 2 1/2 is too long, it sits off the tile about a 1/4 inch. The rough in is fixed to a 2x4 so it does not move.
I searched around and don't see any in-between sizes for these. I haven't inquired yet, but I don't think my box store can thread a pipe this short.
I am working with 1/2 inch galvanized pipe, similarly I see the same sizes for brass.
Are there any tricks to making this work? Thanks.
