The dynamics of the spout require that the threads be at or near the wall. You will have o cut the tubing off and install the adapter next to the wall. Use a Sloan flush valve 3/4 copper valve adapter to make the connection without opening the wall.: Im looking for a Bathtub Shower Diverter Spout with a hose connection that will allow a shower hose and head to be attached to it. It must fit on a fitting extending 5 from the wall (3/4 ). Need part number, price, and source for item, if it is even made.
