The item in the image seems to be just what I need (the brand is Lasco and the model number is 08-1089, "Bathcock Ell"). It attaches to a 3/4 inch male threaded pipe and, after a 90 degree bend, it has 1/2 inch male threads. However, I've never seen a fitting like the one on the 3/4 inch end of this. There are no directions provided, but the guy at the hardware store said to just screw them together, and if that doesn't work "apply some plumbers putty" (the latter comment did not inspire confidence). It seems to me like a rubber O-ring might make for a better and more reliably leak-free results (btw, I've found an O-ring that fits well). Any thoughts? Thanks.
