Hi all.installing wall taps. Comes with cranked dog leg connectors. I don't need them have 2 individual 1/2 in wall plate elbow already at 150 mm spacing. So I want 1/2 inch male BSP to 3/4 inch BSP male but straight no crank. This will allow ajustment so taps are square to tiling.
Does a brass fitting exist?
Thanks
 
Yup, 1/2" to 3/4" male reducer/coupler

Thanks for your help. I wanted correct alignment to the tiles nice and parallel. The solution for me in the end was to screw in the left dog leg at one turn less than the right to square up, keeping the same orientation to achieve 150mm centers.
Previous attempts at thread sealing failed but was solved by loctite 55 sealing thread allows backing off of threaded fittings
Instructions to wrap 8 times around thread in a cross wise fashion sure did tighten up nicely
