Pegler XPress Press-Fit Gas Copper Back Plate Elbow 15mm to 22mm

Pegler XPress Press-Fit Gas Copper Back Plate Elbow

This is a gas back plate elbow: a pressed 90 degree elbow with a female thread and a fixing plate. It comes in 12 x 1/2″, 15 x 1/2″, 18 x 1/2″ and 22 x 3/4″.

Fit it where gas pipe ends at a wall and a fixed threaded outlet is needed, a cooker connection for instance. The 12 x 1/2″ size is shown, but the Xpress Gas certificate lists sizes from 15mm, so check with us before ordering it. A Gas Safe registered engineer should fit it and test the pipework for tightness.
