Systems and methods for coupling of a tub spout

Abstract

Disclosed are various embodiments providing a mechanism to couple a tub spout onto a pipe. An extension nipple adaptor can be coupled to the pipe. A compression ring can be positioned between the extension nipple adaptor and an extension nipple. The tub spout can couple to the extension nipple. A threaded screw can be screwed into the extension nipple adaptor and contact the pipe.

1 . A system comprising:
 an adaptor nipple configured to be coupled to a tub spout;   a spin weld retaining ring;   an O-ring positioned between the adaptor nipple and the spin weld retaining ring;   a threaded screw configured to screw into the adaptor nipple and contact a pipe; and   a bushing coupled to an end of the adaptor nipple.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the adaptor nipple comprises threads on a first end and bushing threads on a second end opposite the first end. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the bushing comprises threads, and the bushing is configured to screw into the bushing threads of the adaptor nipple. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the adaptor nipple is configured to couple to the tub spout by screwing the threads on the first end into a threaded hole of the tub spout. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the bushing comprises one of: a half inch female NPT to one inch male NPT bushing or a three quarter inch female to one inch NPT male bushing. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the spin weld retaining ring is configured to contact an internal portion of the adaptor nipple. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the O-ring is configured to form a seal between the adaptor nipple, the spin weld retaining ring, and pipe. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein positive stops on the adaptor nipple prevent the pipe from extending into tub spout opening. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the adaptor nipple comprises a first end and a second end, the adaptor nipple having a tapered shape, an outer diameter of the adaptor nipple reduces in size from the second end to the first end. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the adaptor nipple comprises an aperture on an outer surface of the adaptor nipple at the end, the aperture being configured to receive the threaded screw. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the adaptor nipple comprises a plurality of tabs that extend from an outer surface of the adaptor nipple at the end. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the spin weld retaining ring comprises a recessed annular edge. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the spin weld retaining ring comprises a clocking mechanism structure along a perimeter of the spin weld retaining ring. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the bushing comprises a first notch and a second notch along a perimeter of the busing. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the bushing comprises a plurality of inner threads and a plurality of outer threads.
