Hi, I want to state this clearly so you guys have the clearest picture of what is up and the thread doesn't die in confusion with me short of an answer. I have a tiled shower stall. No tub there, just stall all tiled. There are two separate faucets and one standard shower head. On the other side

I just wonder if a spark plug socket might just fit in there and be the correct size? They come in all kinds of cheapie socket sets. That's a real nerve wrecker, break it off in there and you got a real mess. luck Tom

thanks Tom, I'm envisioning a pair of slim duckbills that go 90dg to the jaws. But I fear they either do not exist or aren't strong enough. I am trying to avoid dis assembling the union above the shut offs where the two pipes become one and go up he wall to the shower head. I don't know if I cou

spiro, I've no idea how much stem the sparkplug socket will take, after all a plug is a fairly long stem, but I've not used one in years. Just seemed like something that might be close. Maybe your local hardware store rents tools, some do, and they might have sockets for the purpose Tom
