Connector elbow TECE 90° brass 20 mm × 1/2" for plumbing installations

The TECE 90° connector elbow in brass provides a right-angle transition between a 20 mm push-fit or soldered pipe end and a 1/2" threaded fitting. Designed for plumbing and heating installations, this compact elbow facilitates changes of direction and connections to valves, appliances and branch lines. The brass construction is suitable for potable water and standard sanitary systems, offering corrosion resistance and mechanical durability for installation and repair tasks.

Advantages

The brass 90° elbow combines dimensional stability with corrosion-resistant material properties to ensure long service life in domestic and commercial sanitary systems. Its 20 mm to 1/2" configuration simplifies adaption between metric pipework and imperial-threaded fixtures without additional adapters. The compact right-angle shape saves space in confined installation areas and allows straightforward connection to valves, taps and appliance inlets.

Suitable for

• Connecting 20 mm water supply pipes to 1/2" threaded valves and fittings
• Making compact right-angle branch connections in plumbing and heating systems
• Hooking up appliances such as boilers, water heaters and mixers where a 1/2" thread is required
• Repairing or replacing damaged elbows in potable water and sanitary installations

Key specifications

• Material: brass suitable for potable water use
• Geometry: 90° elbow
• Pipe end diameter: 20 mm
• Threaded end: 1/2" standard plumbing thread
• Application: plumbing and heating installations, sanitary systems

How to use

Prepare the 20 mm pipe end according to the chosen joining method (clean and deburr for soldering, ensure correct insertion depth for push-fit or compression fittings). Apply appropriate sealing tape or sealant to the 1/2" male thread of the mating component if required, then tighten to the manufacturer’s recommended torque to avoid over-stressing the thread. Position the elbow so that the outlet aligns with the downstream fitting, and secure any supports or clamps to minimise mechanical stress on the connection.

Usage recommendations

Use the elbow with compatible 20 mm pipe systems and standard 1/2" fittings. Verify water system pressure and temperature limits for brass fittings in your installation, and follow local plumbing codes. When in doubt, consult installation instructions or a qualified plumber to ensure correct joining method and leak-free connections.
