Hi,
I recently had my tub and shower renovated and the plumber chose to use 1/2" PVC for the tub spout / diverter. (Now I know copper would have been better, etc., etc., etc...) One problem is that the pipe is a hair too long so there is a small gap between the back of the spout and the wall. That, coupled with the fact that the PVC pipe flexes, causes it to feel like I'm going to pull the whole spout out of the wall every time I pull or push on the shower diverter or handle it in any way...
Any suggestions about how to re-enforce the pipe to stiffen it up? Or any general suggestions about how to mitigate this situation? Photos enclosed.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Regards, r0x
