Blind Broken 1/2 Inch Brass Water Outlet: Reliable Plugging Methods Without Tile Damage

Question

Hi

I have a broken water outlet (1/2 inch, brass with a broken internal thread) so I won't use it for now and I don't want to break the tiles from the wall at this time to repair and change this tip. It is temporarily plugged temporarily with a wooden cork.

What will be the most reliable for this? to plug etc.?
Something like poxilina but maybe more suitable adhesives?

Thanks

Anareobic adhesive for 0.2 - 0.3mm gaps + galvanized plug In such a plug, the thread face can be ground slightly to make the diameter of the thread larger (these plugs have a bit conical thread)

Thanks.
After thinking about it, I will try to save this water outlet by trying to re-thread it. I'll blind if it goes wrong. Steel fragments from the tap have been scorched in this brass elbow but not too much. Picking has no chance.

Someone knows what 1/2 inch tap to buy?

I read about tubular R, some G, UnC, tapered, cylindrical and I don't know which one is right ...

Pozdr.

Such taps will be more expensive than rubbing with glass. You can't just forge 1-2-3 tiles, replace the shaped piece and glue the same tiles?

Tap G 1/2 outer diameter 21mm, core diameter 18.6mm, number of turns 14 on 1 The designations G and R are almost the same. G- designation according to ISO 228 standard R- designation according to DIN 2999 standard

Sure buddy it depends on the person and case because:
- for now I am optimistic that I will be able to thread it, it will probably take a few minutes and after all the work
- I see the cost of a used tap at around PLN 60 on OLX
- I don't forge tiles, I don't dust, I have no risk that it will break and I don't have a supply of tiles
- I don't run to the market for glue and grout
- I don't call solders to replace my elbow, I don't have the equipment and I didn't do it
- so this 60 zlotys is a pick in the confusion with the tiling
This is my case.

If it is to be permanently blinded, I would recommend a plastic tow plug and varnish. I know maybe archaic materials but if the varnish dries it will be stronger than these new inventions. Plastic stopper so that the brass does not break.

Anareob glue also holds well. By the way, lightly or firmly glues uncertain thread filling the gaps.

And that's your business. You want to thread it and blind.

The re-threading went twice. Managed to.
