Geberit Mapress Stainless Steel Elbow Adaptor Female Thread/Plain Thread 15mm

Listed in a single 15mm x 1/2″ size, the Geberit Mapress 316 Stainless Steel Elbow Adaptor Female Thread/Plain Thread is an elbow with a 1/2″ female thread on one end. The name suggests the other end is a plain end rather than a press socket.

Using the Geberit Mapress 316 Stainless Steel Elbow Adaptor Female Thread/Plain Thread

If the second end is a plain spigot, it pushes into the socket of another Mapress fitting, such as a tee branch, and is pressed there. That gives a compact right angle connection to a male threaded valve, tap or gauge, with no stub of pipe needed. It suits small stainless runs such as drinking water points.

• Size: 15mm x 1/2″
• Elbow with 1/2″ female thread
• 316 Stainless steel
• For use with Mapress stainless fittings

Before ordering, check the end type against the Geberit code or ask at the counter, because “plain thread” in the name is unusual. If it is a plain end, mark the depth on it and push it fully into the mating socket before pressing. Make the threaded joint first with a sealant suited to 316 stainless steel. Point the outlet where you want it first; a pressed elbow stays put. Other elbow adaptors are in our Geberit Mapress 316 stainless steel range.

Common Questions

What does plain thread mean on this listing?

The name is unusual, and it most likely means a plain spigot end. Check the Geberit code with us before ordering, so you get the end you expect.

What size pipe does it suit?

It is listed only as 15mm x 1/2″. That means 15mm Mapress 316 Stainless Steel on one side and a 1/2″ male part on the threaded side.

Can I fit a tap straight onto it?

A tap or valve with a 1/2″ male thread screws into the female end. Make that joint first, then fit the other end.
