Wall elbow REHAU RAUTITAN RX 20 mm with internal Rp1/2 thread, lead‑free, short

REHAU RAUTITAN RX short wall elbow for 20 mm piping with an internal Rp1/2 thread is a lead-free transition fitting designed for potable water systems. The compact, short-body design enables a close-to-wall installation where a secure threaded connection is required between plastic piping and fixtures such as shut-off valves, radiators, or taps. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials and intended for use with REHAU RAUTITAN piping systems, this elbow provides a reliable mechanical and hydraulic connection in confined spaces.

Advantages

The short wall elbow offers a compact footprint that reduces protrusion from the finished wall while maintaining a durable internal Rp1/2 thread for standard fixtures. Lead-free construction supports potable water compliance and minimizes contamination risk. The design simplifies installation in tight spaces and provides a stable threaded interface between plastic pipe and metal or threaded fittings. Corrosion-resistant materials and precise manufacturing tolerances contribute to long service life and leak-resistant performance when installed according to manufacturer guidelines.

Suitable for

• Connections between 20 mm plastic RAUTITAN pipes and Rp1/2 threaded fixtures
• Wall outlets for taps, mixers, and shut-off valves in potable water systems
• Tight installation spaces where a short, compact elbow is required
• Radiator or appliance connections requiring a threaded transition

Key specifications

• Connection size: for 20 mm RAUTITAN pipe
• Thread type: internal Rp1/2 (female)
• Material: lead-free, corrosion-resistant construction suitable for potable water
• Design: short/compact wall elbow for reduced wall projection
• Application: cold and hot potable water distribution systems

How to use

Prepare the 20 mm RAUTITAN pipe according to the REHAU installation instructions: cut square, deburr, and check end-face. Insert the pipe into the elbow using the recommended joining method for RAUTITAN RX (follow REHAU guidelines for pressing or mechanical joining as applicable). Fix the elbow to the wall or support as required to avoid mechanical stress on the threaded connection. Screw the Rp1/2 threaded fitting or fixture into the internal thread and tighten to the torque specified by the fixture manufacturer. After assembly, perform pressure and leak tests in line with local plumbing standards and REHAU recommendations.

Usage recommendations

Use this short wall elbow in installations where minimal wall projection is needed and a standard Rp1/2 threaded connection must be formed. Verify compatibility with the specific RAUTITAN pipe variant and follow REHAU installation and pressure-testing procedures. Avoid exposing the fitting to aggressive chemicals or temperatures outside the system’s rated range.
