End Feed Female Wallplate Elbow 15mm to 22mm

A tap that wobbles on its pipe soon loosens the joint behind it, and the End Feed Female Wallplate Elbow stops that. It is a soldered 90 degree elbow with a flat plate that screws to the wall, and the outlet has a female thread.

Typical End Feed Female Wallplate Elbow jobs

The most common use is a garden tap on 15mm x 1/2″. Other uses include a washing machine supply, a bar shower feed or a hose union valve in a garage. 15mm x 3/4″, 22mm x 3/4″ and 22mm x 1″ suit bigger taps and valves. The larger sizes run up to 54mm x 2″ for heavy-duty outlets.

Fix the plate to a solid surface or a timber noggin. Solder the pipe before fitting the tap, and keep the flame away from the wall or use a heat mat. Once it cools, tape the tap thread and screw it in until it sits upright.

Common Questions

What is a wallplate elbow? It’s a 90° fitting on a flat plate that screws to the wall, giving a fixed threaded outlet for an outside tap, appliance valve or shower arm. The plate stops it twisting when something is screwed in.

What is an end feed fitting? It has a plain solder socket with no solder in it, so you add solder yourself. Use lead-free solder wire and a flux made for it, especially on drinking water pipework.

Which size wallplate elbow do I need for an outside tap? The 15mm x 1/2″ is the usual choice for an outside tap through a wall. The 22mm x 3/4″ suits a 3/4″ hose union bib tap or a bath filler.

How do I fit an end feed wallplate elbow? Solder the pipe on before you screw the plate down if you can, and shield the wall from the flame. Fix the plate into solid backing with screws to suit the wall, and seal the tap thread with PTFE tape or a suitable sealant.

Should I insulate the pipe to an outside tap? Yes, lag the pipe behind the wallplate elbow to protect it from frost over the winter.
