End Feed Wallplate Elbow C X Fi - 15Mm X1/2'

End Feed Wallplate Elbow C X Fi - 15Mm X1/2'

The Copper End Feed Wallplate Elbow (15mm x 1/2" C x Fi) is a specialized, flame-applied fitting designed for creating a secure, concealed termination point for pipework that is fixed within a wall or floor. It provides a solid 1/2" BSP Female Thread outlet for connection to final fixtures like shower mixers, bath fillers, or external taps, ensuring the pipework is permanently set and the thread is ready for the final connections.

Key Features and Installation Details
Compliance: Manufactured to high industry standards (e.g., BS EN 1254) and is typically WRAS Approved, ensuring safe and legal use in potable (drinking) water systems.

Material: Constructed from durable Copper, providing a permanent, high-integrity connection.

Configuration: Wallplate Elbow – This fitting combines a 90-degree bend with a threaded flange:

End Feed Port (C): Connects to the 15mm copper pipe supply.

Wallplate/Threaded Port (Fi): Features a robust 1/2" BSP Female Thread and an integral flange (with screw holes) for securely fixing the fitting to a structural element (e.g., a batten or joist) before the wall is finished.

Size: 15mm pipe connection to a common 1/2" threaded outlet.

Function: Essential for achieving a neat, professional, and rigidly fixed termination, ensuring the 1/2" threaded outlet is perfectly flush and stable for the final mounting of shower arms, mixer plates, or external tap backplates.

Installation Method: End Feed – Requires cleaning, fluxing, heat application (soldering), and solder to achieve a permanent capillary seal to the 15mm pipe.

The Installer's Advantage
The wallplate feature is crucial for first-fix plumbing. By securely mounting the fitting to the structure, the installer guarantees that the threaded connection will not move or rotate when the final fixture is being installed, preventing damage to the surrounding wall finish.
