Pipe Fitting Question (plumbing)

[Coytee]

Long story short, the wife bought a TUB faucet and handheld (handheld sits on faucet like old style telephone)

 

Anyway, she bought this for us to use in the mudroom we're working on over a lavatory.  I have 1/2" copper pipe coming to the location and fortunately, I'm NOT yet done with the plumbing so I'm not painted into a corner ......yet.

 

So this faucet she bought is an ON-WALL faucet.  It looks like an old time faucet your grandparents might have had in the farm house where you have a hot AND a cold valve.  They both go to a center spout for mixing (into the tub, but in our case, into a lavatory)  ALL of this is external, if that makes any sense (it doesn't really matter though)

 

So to shorten the story....  I need to find a: (if I'm pronouncing everything correctly)

 

Drop eared, 3/4" STRAIGHT PIPE THREAD (and there's my problem, I do NOT need a TAPERED pipe thread fitting) with preferably a 1/2" copper pipe (solder) input although I can get an adapter if necessary.  I just want to solder it in on the input side.

 

So far all I can find are tapered fittings (granted, I've only gone to one local big box store).

 

Anyone know where I can find this fitting with straight pipe threads OR, what it's called?  

 

For example, I've found: Libra Supply Lead Free 3/4 inch 90-Degree Female Drop Ear Elbow C x F, (click in for more size options)3/4'', 3/4-inch Brass Pipe Fitting Plumbing Supply

 

https://www.amazon.com/Libra-Supply-90-Degree-options-Plumbing/dp/B018YPLZEM?th=1

 

I don't see any reference to this fitting being straight or tapered....and this is my problem.

Check your PM's, I sent you one a couple weeks ago asking if you still had some access to things.

Straight threads instead of tapered can be a bit of a pain to find since most stores just carry the standard tapered ones. I’ve had better luck with plumbing supply stores rather than the big box shops. They usually stock those harder-to-find fittings, and if they don’t have it, they might know where to get it.
If you’re still stuck, one workaround I’ve used before is grabbing an adapter to make the connection work. You can solder your 1/2" copper to something that’ll match the faucet threads—it’s not perfect, but it gets the job done.
For stuff like this, I’ve also reached out to plumbers or plumbing services online. A site like pm247.co.uk could be handy if you need more ideas or help tracking something down.
