Perfexim angled elbow fitting 704 16 mm x GZ 1/2" plumbing connector

Perfexim angled elbow fitting 704 is a compact plumbing connector designed to create a 90° transition between a 16 mm push-fit pipe and a 1/2" male threaded component. Intended for use in water supply and heating installations, the fitting provides a space-saving bend that simplifies routing where a right-angle connection is needed between a small-diameter plastic or metal pipe and a standard 1/2" threaded valve, radiator, or fixture.

Advantages

The angled elbow offers a reliable mechanical connection on the 16 mm side and a compatible male BSP thread on the 1/2" side, enabling quick installation without specialized tools for the push-fit end. Its compact 90° profile reduces stress on pipes at directional changes and helps maintain neat, low-profile installations. The design supports common plumbing materials and standard threaded components used in domestic and light commercial systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting 16 mm push-fit or pipework to 1/2" threaded valves and fittings
• Space-constrained plumbing runs requiring a 90° change of direction
• Domestic water supply and central heating distribution circuits
• Retrofit work where replacing or adapting existing 1/2" threaded components is necessary

Key specifications

• Connection A: 16 mm push-fit / pipe connection
• Connection B: GZ 1/2" (male BSP) threaded connection
• Angle: 90° elbow
• Application: potable water systems and heating circuits
• Installation: push-fit on pipe side, threaded on 1/2" side

How to use

Prepare the 16 mm pipe by cutting squarely and ensuring the pipe end is clean and free of burrs. Insert the pipe into the push-fit side until it reaches the internal stop; confirm a secure engagement by a gentle pull. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male 1/2" thread as required for the system, then screw the fitting into the mating female thread until hand-tight, finishing with a suitable wrench to achieve a leak-free joint without over-tightening. Pressurize and check the connection for leaks according to installation standards.

Usage recommendations

Use this elbow fitting with compatible 16 mm pipe materials and standard 1/2" BSP female threads. Follow local plumbing codes for sealing and testing; avoid excessive torque on the threaded side and ensure push-fit connections are fully inserted to prevent leaks. For systems with specific temperature or pressure ratings, verify compatibility with the pipe and fitting materials before installation.
