Repair fresh water inlet fixture

Question

Someone has probably had to fix this in the past. The screws for this fixture aren't really long enough and eventually won't hold in the wood behind the wall. I was thinking about a round piece of plywood with a hole in the middle for the water line ( as a backing plate), then use longer screws. Or bolts and nuts.

I consider the screws there are only to hold it long enough for the Dicor /sealant to set up.Many have used plywood as backing with success though.Good Luck, Mike

What do I know but with the weight and stress of a hose hooked on there, seems odd that we would depend on sealant to hold this fitting in place.

YES.....a strong-back (wood) on inside so longer screws can be used will make for a better/stronger installThin skin and foam just don't hold much

Hi,If you have a hole saw, and can drill a 1" (or whatever size you actually need) in a piece of plywood, then cut it into a C shape, then nuts and bolts will work really well to hold the plywood to the inlet connection, and the wall in between.  Fred.
