The chrome covered plastic shower elbow that screws onto the male pipe that protrudes out of the tiled bathroom wall has perished and leaks, I have tried to fit a similar new elbow but when it is fully hand tightened onto the pipe the fitting for the shower hose is pointing up rather than down, i do not wish to tighten it anymore because it will certainly break, how does an idiot like me get around the problem, are there spacers available that will resolve this problem??? :cry:

Try using lots of ptfe tape, 20+ turns, on the thread.
If you have a cover thing which is then nearly against the wall, squirt silicone behind it and smooth the edge.
 
1 strand of hemp would do it with a smear of boss white - BUT the PC brigade and the EU banned it . :rolleyes:
