The ARCO 873610A backplate elbow is a professional-grade plumbing fitting engineered for secure and stable wall-mounted pipe connections. Designed to facilitate a transition between 16 x 2.00 mm piping and a 1/2 inch female threaded connection, this component is essential for creating reliable water supply points in both residential and commercial environments. Its robust design ensures long-term durability and resistance to the stresses typically found in plumbing systems.

Advantages

This backplate elbow offers exceptional structural integrity, providing a firm anchor point that prevents movement or loosening of the pipe connection over time. The precision-engineered threads ensure a tight, leak-proof seal, which is critical for maintaining the integrity of water supply lines. Its compact design allows for efficient installation in tight spaces, while the high-quality materials used in its construction guarantee resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear, ensuring a long service life in various plumbing applications.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply installations
• Commercial plumbing systems
• Wall-mounted faucet or shower head connections
• PEX or multilayer pipe transitions

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use with pipe diameters or thread types that do not match the specified 16 x 2.00 mm and 1/2 inch dimensions. It is also not suitable for high-pressure industrial steam applications or chemical transport systems where specialized materials are required.

Key specifications

• Pipe connection size: 16 x 2.00 mm
• Thread type: 1/2 inch female
• Mounting type: Backplate for wall fixation
• Material: Durable plumbing-grade metal alloy

How to use

To install the backplate elbow, first secure the backplate to the wall surface using appropriate screws and anchors to ensure it is perfectly level and stable. Connect the 16 x 2.00 mm pipe to the fitting using the compatible compression or crimping tool as required by the pipe manufacturer's instructions. Once the pipe is secured, attach the 1/2 inch male threaded component to the female outlet of the elbow, ensuring a proper seal is achieved using thread sealant tape or a suitable liquid sealant if necessary.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter and wall thickness of your existing piping
• Ensure the wall structure can support the weight of the fitting and the connected pipe
• Check that you have the correct tools for the specific pipe connection method
• Confirm that the 1/2 inch thread matches your intended fixture or valve

Usage recommendations

Always perform a pressure test on the system after installation to ensure that all connections are completely leak-free before closing any wall cavities or finishing surfaces.
