TDM Brass Wall Plate Elbow 1/2" x 20mm Press Fit

The TDM Brass wall plate elbow 1/2" x 20mm press fit is a high-quality plumbing component engineered for secure and permanent connections in water supply and heating systems. This fitting facilitates a robust transition between press-fit piping and threaded fixtures, featuring a mounting plate that allows for stable installation directly onto wall surfaces. Constructed from durable brass, it provides excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress, ensuring long-term reliability in both residential and commercial plumbing infrastructures.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this wall plate elbow is its dual-connection design, which combines the speed and efficiency of press-fit technology with the versatility of a standard threaded outlet. The integrated mounting plate simplifies the process of securing the fitting to wall studs or masonry, preventing movement and ensuring a professional finish. Its brass construction offers superior durability compared to plastic alternatives, maintaining structural integrity under varying pressure and temperature conditions common in modern water distribution systems.

Suitable for

• Domestic water supply installations
• Central heating system pipework
• Wall-mounted faucet or shower head connections
• Professional plumbing renovations

This fitting may not be suitable for high-pressure industrial steam systems or applications involving aggressive chemical fluids that are incompatible with brass alloys. It is also not intended for use in systems where the pipe diameter does not match the 20mm press-fit specification or where the threaded connection requires a size other than 1/2 inch.

Key specifications

• Connection type: 20mm press fit to 1/2" female thread
• Material: High-grade brass
• Mounting: Integrated wall plate with screw holes
• Application: Water supply and heating systems

To install the TDM Brass wall plate elbow, first secure the mounting plate to the desired wall location using appropriate fasteners. Cut the pipe to the required length and ensure the end is clean and free of burrs. Insert the pipe into the press-fit end of the fitting and use a compatible pressing tool to create a permanent, leak-proof seal. Finally, connect the threaded component to the 1/2" outlet using suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape to ensure a watertight connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your piping system is compatible with 20mm press-fit technology.
• Ensure the 1/2" thread matches your intended fixture or valve.
• Check that you have the correct pressing tool for the installation.
• Confirm the wall structure is suitable for mounting the plate securely.

For optimal performance and safety, always ensure that the press-fit connection is performed according to the manufacturer's guidelines using calibrated pressing tools. Regularly inspect the installation for signs of leaks or corrosion during routine maintenance.
