Compression elbow fitting brass 16 x 1/2 No name MKZ1612

Compression elbow fitting brass 16 x 1/2 No name MKZ1612 is a right-angle connector made of brass intended for creating a 90° change of direction between a 16 mm pipe and a 1/2" threaded connection. The fitting is designed for compression joints and is suitable for use in potable water and heating systems where a compact, corrosion-resistant elbow is required. Its brass construction provides mechanical strength and good resistance to corrosion in typical domestic and commercial installations.

Advantages

The brass compression elbow offers durable mechanical performance and reliable sealing when installed correctly. Its compact 90° form factor saves space in tight installations and allows neat routing of pipes. Brass as a material balances machinability and resistance to corrosion, reducing the need for frequent replacement. The compression joint design enables installation without soldering or special brazing equipment, providing a straightforward mechanical connection between a 16 mm pipe and a 1/2" threaded fixture.

Suitable for

• Potable water supply lines where a right-angle connection is required
• Domestic and commercial heating systems
• Tight installation spaces that require compact elbow fittings
• Connections from 16 mm pipes to 1/2" threaded valves, radiators or fixtures

Key specifications

• Material: brass
• Connection types: compression (for 16 mm pipe) and 1/2" threaded connection
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Typical applications: water and heating systems
• Design: compact elbow for space-saving installations

How to use

Prepare the 16 mm pipe by cutting it square and deburring the cut end. Slide the compression nut and olive (ferrule) onto the pipe, insert the pipe fully into the fitting body and tighten the compression nut to create the seal. For the 1/2" threaded side, apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape if required by the installation standards, then screw the fitting to the mating thread and tighten to the recommended torque for the thread size. Follow local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidance for torque values and sealing materials. After installation, test the connection under working pressure to confirm leak-free performance.

Usage recommendations

Use the fitting with compatible 16 mm copper, PEX or multilayer pipes intended for compression joints. Ensure all components are clean and free of debris prior to assembly, and avoid over-tightening the compression nut to prevent deformation of the ferrule. If used in systems with elevated temperatures or aggressive water chemistry, verify that brass is an acceptable material for your installation.
