I recently had someone tile my shower surround. I am replacing my bathroom faucet and have run into a problem the existing 1/2" pipe coming out of the wall for the spout is too short to accomodate the spout that came with the faucet I purchased by approximately 1/2" or so.

Is there any kind of adapter/connector I can purchase that would make up the difference? I went to a hardware store today and I was sold a universal spout, but none of the configurations will work around this problem.

The person at the hardware store said I might have to change the old pipe out, but this is the least desirable way to do it, since the tile is already in place and I don’t want to risk damaging it.

I was trying to change my bathroom faucet myself. It looked easy enough. But my current faucet has no nuts or bolts to unscrew from the supply lines so I can attach them to the two threaded supply ports on the new faucet. That even prevents me from taking the old faucet off. What do I do? Hacksaw it off, and blowtorch on some female threaded connectors that I’ll have to get from the hardware store?

I want to keep my 1950′s bathroom sink that sits on two metal legs. But the faucet is worn out and needs replacing. It’s a 3-piece 8 in. spread with cross handles. Problem is, it mounts on the inside back of the sink, kind of like a wall mount, and sticks out. A new wall mount will not work b/c it would stick out too far. Where can I find this type of faucet?
None of the sites below have what I’m looking for. This is an OLD sink with a taller back with the faucet on the INSIDE of the sink, but on the BACK. So the handles face out, and the faucet itself is very short. Our local plumbing store does not have this. No large hardware store has this, this is why I’m asking for help. Has anyone seen this type of faucet?
