    Correct. But keep in mind that if it does leak, then that does not necessarily prove the spout to be innocent - the problem could be both the spout AND something inside the wall.

    This fixed my problem! Thanks! My copper stub-out had a dent in it that I hadn't noticed until I inspected it more closely. I believe an over-tightened allen head set screw made the mark. I sanded it down most of the way, coated the copper stub-out with dish detergent, slipped on the spout, and presto! It was fixed. Thanks again!
