Male Brass Back Plate M10

With a male thread standing out from the plate, the male brass back plate M10 lets a munsen ring with an M10 female boss screw straight on. No separate stud or rod is needed for a close fixing.

Using a male brass back plate M10

It is the quick option when pipe runs tight to a wall. Fix the plate, screw on the ring, drop in the pipe and close the ring. That keeps the run neat in airing cupboards, plant rooms and exposed copper work. Brass pairs well with brass rings and does not rust in damp spaces.

• Brass back plate with male M10 thread
• For munsen rings with a female M10 boss
• Close fixing to walls or soffits
• Suits copper pipe runs

Look at the boss on your ring first. If it has a female thread, this plate is the one. But if the ring has a male boss, you need the female version with a coupling or stud instead. Fix the plate with screws to suit the surface, and plug brick or block properly. Hold the plate square while you tighten the ring, otherwise the pipe ends up off line. If the pipe needs more clearance from the wall, a coupling and a bit of rod will extend it. See the munsen rings and back plates we list.
