I have a situation on my hands and could use some help. I figure the pinball forum would be a great place for plumbing and home repair tips lol.
The 6" pipe between my shower head and wall plumbing snapped off flush with the wall fitting. I tried to use an ez-out extractor but was unsuccessful. It kept slipping and by the time I was able to get enough torque on it the screws holding it into the stud broke and also broke the joint securing the vertical wall pipe to the adapter.
What would be the recommended way to repair this and replace the tile that I removed? Can I do it without cutting out more of the tile and the wall behind the shower? Is a shark bite fitting acceptable here? I'm not sure I could get a good joint safely using solder and a torch. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
