I am installing a screw-on Moen Adler tub spout in a remodeled bathroom. When the plumber roughed in the tub spout stub out, I assume he was under the impression it would be for a slip-on spout. Unfortunately, that has left me needing to install a threaded connection for the tub spout.
My question is whether or not a compression fitting (union) would work for this situation? My concern would be spinning it off while twisting the spout on. I'm comfortable sweating fittings, but I'm nervous doing it this close to the tub surround.
Thanks for any insight!
