V&G Compression 15mm x 1/2 Backplate Elbow

The V&G Compression 15mm x 1/2" Backplate Elbow from Valogin is a practical and versatile fitting designed to help you neatly turn and secure pipework in both hot and cold water systems. Ideal for domestic plumbing tasks, this elbow fitting allows a 15mm copper pipe to connect to a 1/2" threaded outlet at a 90-degree angle, making it perfect for wall-mounted connections—such as taps or appliances. Constructed from durable brass, this backplate elbow is built to withstand everyday wear and tear. Its solid design includes a backplate with pre-drilled holes, allowing it to be securely fixed to a wall or surface. This helps support the pipework, reduce strain, and keep everything looking neat and professionally finished. Installation is quick and hassle-free thanks to the compression fitting design. There's no need for soldering, heat, or flux—simply insert the pipe into the fitting and tighten the compression nut to form a watertight seal. Whether you’re a professional installer or a capable DIYer, this fitting makes creating a solid and tidy system much easier.
