I am trying to install a Pegasus Bamboo Roman Tub Faucet set onto a fiberglass bathtub. I am using the pre-existing holes for the set.
As I am tightening the nuts underneath the fixtures, I can't seem to get it snug enough to prevent the spout or handles from twisting. Also, I don't want to over-tighten the nut at the risk of cracking the fiberglass. Currently, these things will twist out of alignment if I turn the handle with too much force. In the future, I know my wife or kids will try to tighten the handle too much, so I am trying to prevent the inevitable.
The Pegasus set comes with a foam like washer on the top side of the fixture (above the tub) and a rubber washer, brass washer, and brass nut on the bottom side (under the tub).
Help.
