I'm installing a Kohler shower valve and head assembly (from their designer line). The shower head arm has a 1/2" female thread where most shower head arms have a male thread. I'm still in the rough in stage so I have flexibility with how it gets mounted.
Question: What fitting should I use on the 1/2" copper that supplies the shower head?
My inclination is to use a 1/2" brass elbow that is most commonly used for standard shower head mounting and a 1/2" brass nipple. My problem with this approach is that I do not know how to mount the nipple to the elbow tight enough to keep it from leaking.
All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
