    You need to know how to match what you have with what you need to buy. Spouts slip on with set screw on the bottom or they are threaded. Not having a picture I would venture to guess your old spout broke apart somewhat when you removed it, the brass tube was part of the spout but remains on the threaded pipe. I am a bit confused when you said a thraede pipe is sweated on the other end. Can you post a pic?
