American Standard Serin Brass Tub Spout Arm in Polished Chrome

Threads are at the very forefront of spout. There's a LOT of potential leverage on the spout as these threads are the _only_ attachment point. I have personally installed this spout. This means that the threads at most may protrude 1/2" from the wall. That's not much to work with and any leaks that could develop could go right into the wall cavity. Lastly, the round coupler.. It has no locking pin. It is only held in place by a rubber gasket. It can easily be pulled off the wall. This seems very poor design. I used an adhesive but that is still insufficient to attach it to the wall. I'd only recommend this to someone who has extra time and money to spend on installation.
