  • Patent number: 6175972
    Abstract: A kit for installing a bath spout onto any one of a number of different pipe ends extending from a wall is described and includes a number of adapters sized to enable different pipe ends to be coupled into a standard screw thread of internal conduit inside the bath spout. One adapter enables the screw thread of a pipe end to be effectively enlarged. Another adapter slips onto the smooth outer surface of a pipe and makes a sealing contact with this surface while having one end provided with an enlarged external screw thread to mesh with a corresponding screw thread of a conduit inside the bath spout. An inner conduit is described which in one embodiment is made of a number of inter-connectable segments with which the length of the inner conduit can be adjusted and in another embodiment the inner conduit is formed of a single unitary structure with a several screw threads at a distal end to be able to adjust the length of the inner conduit with the removal of the distal thread.
