Brass transition elbow TECE 90° 16 mm x 1/2" for plumbing connections

TECE 90° brass transition elbow 16 mm x 1/2" is a compact plumbing fitting that provides a right-angle connection between a 16 mm pipe and a 1/2" threaded fitting. Manufactured from brass for corrosion resistance and mechanical durability, this elbow is intended for potable water, heating and sanitary installations where a compact 90° change of direction and a reliable transition between metric tubing and imperial threaded components are required.

Advantages

The brass construction ensures long-term resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear while maintaining dimensional stability under varying temperatures. Its compact 90° design reduces installation space and enables neat routing of pipes in tight areas. The transition geometry provides a secure threaded connection to 1/2" fittings and a reliable connection to 16 mm pipe, supporting leak-free operation when installed correctly.

Suitable for

• Potable water supply lines where a metric-to-threaded transition is required
• Residential and commercial heating systems
• Sanitary installations including sinks, mixers and fixtures
• Tight installation spaces requiring a compact 90° elbow

Key specifications

• Material: brass (corrosion-resistant metal alloy)
• Connection types: 16 mm tube to 1/2" threaded fitting
• Angle: 90° elbow
• Typical applications: potable water, heating and sanitary systems
• Design: compact form factor for space-constrained installations

How to use

Prepare the 16 mm pipe end according to the chosen joining method (cut square, deburr and, if required, apply appropriate sealing or compression elements). Threaded 1/2" connection should be sealed with the correct tape or jointing compound compatible with potable water systems when using conventional threaded fittings. Screw the elbow into the 1/2" fitting to the required tightness and secure the 16 mm pipe end according to the pipe system specifications (push-fit, compression or soldered joint depending on product variant and system). After installation, perform a pressure test and inspect all joints for leaks before commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate sealing materials certified for potable water where required, and follow local plumbing codes. Avoid excessive torque on threaded connections to prevent distortion. Confirm material compatibility with the piping system and operating temperatures to ensure long service life.
