Elbow fitting 90° IBP 15 x 1/2" (model 5002G015004000) for plumbing connections

IBP elbow fitting 90° 15 x 1/2" (model 5002G015004000) is a compact threaded plumbing component designed to change the direction of a pipe run by 90 degrees. Manufactured for plumbing and heating applications, this elbow provides a standard male/female threaded connection suitable for joining compatible 15 mm plumbing pipe fittings to 1/2" threaded components. The product is intended for use in potable water supply and heating circuits where a secure, space-saving directional change is required.

Advantages

The 90° elbow delivers a stable, standardized threaded joint that simplifies installation and replacement in existing systems. Its compact 90-degree geometry reduces the footprint in tight installation spaces and allows for neat routing of pipes. The threaded connection ensures a mechanical seal that can be tightened or loosened for maintenance, and compatibility with common 15 mm and 1/2" fittings makes it versatile for mixed-diameter assemblies.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Changing pipe direction by 90° in water supply lines
• Connecting 15 mm copper or multilayer piping to 1/2" threaded fixtures
• Compact connections in heating system manifolds and radiator feeds
• Replacement of existing threaded elbows in residential and commercial plumbing

Key specifications

• Angle: 90°
• Connection sizes: 15 mm to 1/2" (threaded)
• Connection type: threaded elbow for plumbing use
• Typical applications: potable water and heating systems
• Form factor: compact right-angle fitting suitable for confined spaces

How to use

Prepare mating pipe ends and threaded components by cleaning threads and applying the appropriate pipe sealant or tape if required by local plumbing codes. Thread the elbow into the mating component by hand to start, then tighten with a suitable wrench until a secure mechanical seal is achieved, taking care not to over-tighten and damage threads. Ensure alignment of the connected piping to avoid undue stress on the joint. For installations in heating systems, follow system flushing and filling procedures after completing connections.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible 15 mm and 1/2" threaded fittings and follow local plumbing regulations. Inspect threads for damage before installation and use appropriate sealing materials where required. For pressurized systems, perform a pressure test after installation to confirm leak-tight performance.
