I have rebuilt my outdoor shower, raising it from ground level up two feet to become a level part of the deck. The existing shower pipe is too low. The shower arm and elbow have been sawed off. First question: Will Sharkbite couplings be acceptable for outdoor use? We live in Madison, CT so the water is turned off for the winter. Second question: Why on earth can I not find a stinking gooseneck shower arm to the remaining copper pipe? All the ones I've see are wall-mounted, which won't work. Deck mount only come with the full bib assembly. Is there a reason no one sells gooseneck brass, copper, whatever? If you know who might sell something like this please tell me!

I need to tap into a 3/4" copper water line, using a brass compression tee. The tee has a female side outlet for 3/4 inch threads. I want to run Schedule 40 PVC from the tee to my sprinkler controls. My question is which method is best for making the transition to PVC: 1. Make the transition with a "PVC male adapter" fitting threaded directly into the brass tee and glue the PVC pipe into that fitting OR 2. Thread a 3/4" CPVC Copper Transition Male Adapter into the brass compression tee and then glue the PVC pipe into the CPVC part of the adapter? In the first case I'd be threading male plastic threads into the brass female outlet and in the second I'd be threading copper male threads in the brass female outlet. I plan on using Teflon tape in either case, but which would make for the best transition?
