PlumbingPart Identification & Selection3MediumHomeowner$ implied
Cannot find a replacement slip-fit tub spout with diverter that fits a non-standard copper pipe with a coupling slightly larger than 1/2 inch.
Retail stores only carry standard-size spouts with plastic inner chambers that do not fit pipes with a coupling, and there is no easy way to search for spouts by pipe dimensions or coupling presence.
