IBP brass elbow 90° with handle, 2-port, 15 x 1/2 inch

IBP brass elbow 90° with handle, 2-port, 15 x 1/2 inch is a compact plumbing fitting designed to change pipe direction while providing manual flow control. Manufactured from brass, this elbow combines a 90° turn with an integrated handle and two connection ports sized for 15 mm to 1/2 inch interfaces. It is intended for use in potable water and general plumbing systems in residential and light commercial environments where a robust, corrosion-resistant directional fitting with a simple shut-off or diversion capability is required.

Advantages

The brass construction ensures corrosion resistance and long service life in typical water installation conditions. The integrated handle allows quick manual operation for shut-off or redirection without additional tools. Its compact 90° design reduces space requirements at pipe junctions and facilitates tidy routing of supply lines. Compatibility with 15 x 1/2 inch connections makes it suitable for common plumbing sizes, enabling straightforward integration into existing systems.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Changing pipe direction in cold and hot water supply lines
• Local shut-off or diversion of flow in residential plumbing
• Connections in bathroom and kitchen installations
• Light commercial water distribution and repair work

Key specifications

• Material: brass for corrosion resistance and mechanical strength
• Angle: 90° elbow for directional change
• Ports: two-port configuration for inlet and outlet
• Connection size: 15 mm to 1/2 inch compatible interfaces
• Control: integrated manual handle for on/off or diversion

How to use

Install the elbow in-line with compatible 15 mm or 1/2 inch plumbing connections following standard plumbing practice. Ensure system is depressurized before disassembly and apply appropriate thread sealing or joint methods according to the pipe type (e.g., PTFE tape, pipe joint compound, or soldering where applicable). Securely tighten connections to avoid leaks, but avoid over-tightening which can damage fittings. Use the handle to manually open or close flow as needed during maintenance, isolation, or operational changes.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility with the pipe material and sealing method prior to installation. Regularly inspect the fitting for signs of wear, leaks or corrosion in aggressive environments, and replace if performance is compromised. For installations involving high temperatures, pressures, or specialized fluids, consult applicable standards or a qualified plumber.
