Hi @patel999,

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is wonderful to have you with us.

 

When your plumber comes to install the tap fittings, they will clean the copper thread as part of this process, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

 

They will likely use a wire brush with something like CLR to help lift the tile adhesive.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi @patel999,

 

That's completely understandable, but I wouldn't worry about it. Plumbers deal with this kind of thing all the time.

 

Thank you for reaching out, and good luck with the rest of your bathroom.

 

Jacob
