Geberit Mapress Stainless Steel Elbow Tap Connector Female Offset 15mm to 22mm

Lining a pipe up with a tap is not always simple, but a Geberit Mapress 316 Stainless Steel Elbow Tap Connector Female Offset helps. It is an elbow with a press end and a female threaded outlet set off to one side.

Using your Geberit Mapress 316 Stainless Steel Elbow Tap Connector Female Offset

The offset outlet gives a little extra reach, which helps when the pipe and the tap or valve do not quite line up. It suits wall mounted taps, outlet valves and appliance connections on stainless water systems. Fitting it can save bending or adding extra fittings just to shift the connection a few centimetres.

• 15mm x 1/2″
• 22mm x 3/4″
• Press end and offset female thread

Hold the fitting in place and check where the outlet ends up before you cut the pipe, because the offset changes your measurements. Screw the tap or valve tail in first if you can, using a sealant suitable for stainless. Then prepare the pipe, mark the depth and press with the right jaw. Make sure the fitting is fixed or the pipe is clipped close by, since taps get pulled and pushed in daily use. The standard elbow tap connector is in our Geberit Mapress 316 stainless steel category.

Common Questions

What does the offset do on a tap connector?

It moves the female outlet off the pipe centre line, so the tap can sit where it needs to be even when the pipe is slightly out. That can save adding fittings.

Is the 22mm x 3/4″ for a bigger tap?

Yes, it suits outlets with a 3/4″ male tail on a 22mm supply. The other two sizes take 1/2″ tails.

Should I clip the pipe near the connector?

Yes, taps are pushed and pulled every day. Fix the connector or clip the pipe close by so the joint is not loaded.
