Wall elbow TECE TECEflex 16 x 1/2" female thread (model 768516)

TECE TECEflex wall elbow with a 16 mm pipe connection and a 1/2" female threaded outlet provides a compact right-angle transition between a plastic TECEflex piping system and standard 1/2" threaded fittings. Designed for use where a sealed wall outlet is required, the fitting enables connection of fixtures or shut-off valves directly at the wall. Its design suits domestic and light commercial water installations and maintains a neat, low-profile appearance once installed.

Advantages

The wall elbow offers a reliable, leak-resistant interface between 16 mm plastic piping and 1/2" threaded fixtures, ensuring consistent water flow and mechanical stability. Its compact right-angle shape reduces protrusion from the wall and simplifies alignment with visible fittings. Made for compatibility with TECEflex systems, the fitting supports straightforward assembly and secure jointing methods used in plastic plumbing installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting wall-mounted taps and mixers to 16 mm TECEflex pipework
• Linking shut-off valves or small fixtures to a concealed piping system
• Domestic bathrooms and kitchens where a compact wall outlet is required
• Light commercial installations with low to moderate flow demands

Key specifications

• Pipe connection diameter: 16 mm
• Outlet thread: 1/2" female (GW)
• Function: right-angle (90°) wall elbow for wall outlet
• Compatibility: designed for use with TECEflex plastic piping systems
• Application: potable water distribution and fixture connections

How to use

Prepare the TECEflex 16 mm pipe by cutting it square and deburring the end. Insert the pipe into the elbow connection following the TECEflex joining method appropriate for the system (push-fit or approved connection technique) until it seats firmly. Screw the 1/2" female thread to the corresponding male fitting or shut-off valve, using appropriate sealing material on the thread if required by the installation practice. Ensure the elbow is oriented for the desired wall outlet alignment and test the joint under working pressure for leaks.

Usage recommendations

Use only with compatible TECEflex 16 mm pipe and recommended jointing methods. Verify that thread seals and mating fittings are suitable for potable water and rated for the system pressure. Inspect connections after initial pressure testing and again after a short period of use to confirm leak-free installation.
