I would place backing between the studs and install a drop eared ell,(see image). I would then take a brass nipple and extend the threads just beyond the finished wall. A 1/2" chrome escutcheon plate over the nipple will give your job a professional look. You may now attach the pot filler. Good luck on your project. Tom

I would suggest using 2X4 backing and terminate the water line with a shower 90. A shower 90 is the fitting that a shower arm/head is screwed into. It is made of brass and has 1/2 female threads. Go to any plumbing supply and ask for a "shower 90".

Another, more common name for that fitting would be a 1/2" copper x 1/2" female drop ear elbow...see image.

Thanks for posting ACplumbing, but next time look at the date in the upper left corner of each post...this one is from 2003...betting nationof4 is all set...

Thanks again!
