Floor connection for faucet with wall elbow TECE 16 mm x 1/2" 150 mm (740115)

TECE floor connection for faucet with wall elbow 16 mm x 1/2" 150 mm (model 740115) is a compact plumbing fitting designed to transition a 16 mm supply pipe rising from the floor to a wall-mounted 1/2" elbow for connection to sanitary fixtures. The component provides a straight, fixed-length connection of 150 mm that facilitates reliable linkage between floor-installed piping and wall elbows used for mixer taps and other wall-mounted fittings. It is intended for use in bathroom and kitchen installations where a neat and durable floor-to-wall transition is required.

Advantages

The fitting enables a secure mechanical connection between a 16 mm supply line and a standard 1/2" thread, ensuring compatibility with common taps and wall elbows. Its fixed 150 mm length simplifies installation planning and alignment with wall-mounted fixtures. The part is designed for plumbing applications where a direct, space-saving transition is needed and where a reliable threaded connection at the wall elbow is preferred.

Suitable for

• Connecting floor-rising 16 mm supply pipes to wall-mounted 1/2" elbows for mixer taps
• Bathroom installations for basin, bidet, or shower mixer connections
• Kitchen installations where the water supply rises from the floor to a wall elbow

Key specifications

• Connection sizes: 16 mm (supply pipe) to 1/2" (wall elbow thread)
• Overall fixed length: 150 mm
• Function: floor-to-wall transition for sanitary fittings
• Application: potable water supply lines in domestic plumbing

How to use

Prepare the 16 mm supply pipe according to standard plumbing practice, ensuring the pipe end is cut square and free of burrs. Attach the floor connection to the 16 mm pipe using the appropriate method for the system (e.g., press-fit, compression or recommended joining technique compatible with the pipe material), then align the 150 mm fixed length so the 1/2" threaded end meets the wall elbow. Securely tighten the 1/2" threaded connection to the wall elbow using suitable tools and sealants where required by local plumbing standards. Test the assembled connection under pressure to verify leak-free operation before completing wall finishes.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible pipe materials and connection methods recommended for the installation environment, follow local plumbing codes, and perform pressure testing after installation. If uncertain about the correct joining technique or sealing requirements, consult a qualified plumber to ensure a safe and durable connection between the floor supply and wall elbow.
