318550 COMPRESSION WALLPLATE ELBOW 1/2 INCH

Securely mount your plumbing fixtures to the wall with the 1/2" Compression Wallplate Elbow (318550). Designed specifically for surface-mounting outside bib taps, washing machine valves, or shower connections, this trade-quality fitting provides a rigid and secure fixing point. It features a flanged backplate with pre-drilled screw holes for strong wall mounting, transitioning your pipework through a 90-degree turn. The fitting uses a standard compression joint to connect to your copper or plastic pipe without the need for heat or soldering, while the 1/2" female BSP thread perfectly accepts standard threaded taps and valves. Manufactured from heavy-duty brass, this wallplate elbow ensures a durable, leak-free, and professional-grade installation for any everyday DIY plumbing project.
