Shower outlet elbow

Tristar · 10 Jul 2006

Help, does anyone know if a chrome/brass female shower outlet elbow is available in 15mm? None of my local plumbing suppliers have one, I would like one with a shroud or similar.

Thank you in anticipation.

I don't understand. What is this coupling supposed to be connecting?

Do you mean 1/2" mf elbow? Surely must be available, I have a chrome one rolling around in the van somewhere definately.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the replies.

This outlet is used to connect the output of a concealed shower valve to a flexible shower hose. The fixed portion in the wall has a 15mm male outlet. So far have only been able to locate male elbows in nice chrome/brass finish.

Thanks.

By convention, the bit in the wall SHOULD be a FEMALE thread and flush with the tile surface. I think you'll find that all the 'designer' outlet elbows will have a male thread.

So you just want a mf elbow so that hose comes straight down off elbow?

Like I say there is one on my van, if you can be patient. There has been so much work lately that the van never gets sorted, it may take weeks but I will upturn it. I've been using it to pour system additived into radiators but I'm sure I could find something else. It will have been off a shower job somewhere.

Unfortunately, the original shower kit had a male outlet, and to replace it would involve dismantling the shower enclosure. Hence I'm trying to find an mf outlet, but a nice shrouded one.

Thanks Paul for the offer, I am going in today to Plumb Centre who have ordered one, to check on its design.

Thanks guys.

Wow! You're going to turn the van upside down and shake out all your spares?

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the item provided by Plumb Centre is a mm elbow.

So, back to square one, Paul, have you found the fm elbow in your van?, if so I would be grateful to talk to you.

Thanks
