GF brass 90° compression elbow 16x1/2" female thread, model 5S0022H041620T

GF brass 90° compression elbow 16x1/2" female thread, model 5S0022H041620T is a right-angle fitting designed to connect 16 mm tubing to a 1/2" female threaded outlet. Manufactured from brass, the elbow provides a compact solution for changing pipe direction in plumbing and heating systems and is intended for use with compression/clamptype connections to achieve a leak-tight joint. The design is suitable for potable water and general fluid installations where a durable, corrosion-resistant elbow with a threaded connection is required.

Advantages

The brass construction ensures good corrosion resistance and mechanical strength while remaining compatible with common plumbing media. The 90° configuration allows space-efficient routing of tubing in tight installations. The compression fitting side provides a quick, tool-assisted connection for 16 mm tubing without the need for soldering, and the female threaded end facilitates direct attachment to male threaded components or valves. The compact profile reduces stress on adjacent joints and helps maintain system integrity.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial potable water distribution
• Heating circuits and radiator connections
• Plumbing repairs and retrofit installations in confined spaces
• Connections to valves, manifolds, and threaded fixtures

Key specifications

• Material: brass
• Orientation: 90° elbow
• Connection A: compression fitting for 16 mm tubing
• Connection B: 1/2" female threaded port
• Application: potable water and general fluid systems
• Installation: push/clamptype compression assembly requiring appropriate ferrule and nut

How to use

To install the elbow, cut the 16 mm tubing square and remove any burrs, then slide the compression nut and ferrule onto the tube. Insert the tube fully into the compression fitting until it seats against the fitting body, then hand-tighten the nut and finish with a wrench to the manufacturer-recommended torque to form a leak-tight seal. Thread the 1/2" male counterpart into the female threaded end using appropriate thread sealant or tape as required by the installation standards. After assembly, pressurize the system and inspect all joints for leaks before final commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible ferrules and nuts sized for 16 mm tubing and confirm material compatibility with system fluids. Avoid excessive torque on the compression nut to prevent deformation of the tubing or ferrule. Where potable water regulations apply, ensure installation complies with local codes and flushing procedures are followed after fitting changes.
