: I just moved into an old victorian and the shower needed a new shower head. I got the new head but discovered it was a 1/2" fitting while the pipe is a 3/8" : I've tried putting a brass adaptor on the pipe. Shower head fits fine on the adaptor but the adaptor doesn't fit the pipe. I tried the next size adaptor and it was too big. : Next step is to try an Ander-Lign Universal Fitting. Any better suggestions? : Thanks : : Chris : Rochester, NY Chris, Did you buy a 1/2" x 3/8" bushing? Sounds like that is what you need. Good old Rochester, I go back there every summer from ks. Good luck on this. Dale Peck LMP
