PolyPlumb Bent Tap Connector 15mm

A Polyplumb Bent Tap Connector joins a pipe to a tap with a 90 degree bend built in. The Push Fit socket takes the pipe, and the swivel nut screws onto the threaded tap tail.

Choosing a Polyplumb Bent Tap Connector

Pick the size by the tap. Basin and sink taps usually have 1/2″ tails on 15mm pipe. Bath taps are often 3/4″, so you might use 15mm x 3/4″ or 22mm x 3/4″ depending on the supply. The 28mm x 1″ size suits larger tails and feeds. Because it is bent, the pipe can come up from the floor or along the wall and still meet the tap neatly.

• Sizes: 15mm x 1/2″, 15mm x 3/4″, 22mm x 3/4″ and 28mm x 1″
• 90 degree bend
• Polyplumb Push Fit socket
• Swivel tap nut with washer

Check the washer before you start. Tighten the nut by hand first, then a quarter turn more with a spanner. On plastic pipe, fit a stiffener before pushing it in. Leave a little slack so the connector is not under strain. More Push Fit parts are listed under Polyplumb Fittings.

Common Questions

How do I fit a PolyPlumb bent tap connector? Cut the pipe cleanly and square, then push it fully into the connector. Screw the nut onto the tap tail hand tight, then give it about a quarter turn more.

When would I use a bent tap connector instead of a straight one? Where there is not enough room for a straight run, like a sink close to the wall, a vanity unit or a tap in a corner. The 90 degree turn lets the pipe follow the space you have.

What size is the PolyPlumb bent tap connector? We list it in 15mm x 1/2″, 15mm x 3/4″, 22mm x 3/4″ and 28mm x 1″, so match it to your tap tail and pipe. The 15mm x 1/2″ is maker code PB1715.

Is PolyPlumb compatible with Speedfit? We would stick to one system. Pipe and fittings from different push-fit makers are not guaranteed to match, so mixing them is a risk.

Can I use it on central heating? No, this tap connector is not for central heating.

Why is my tap connector leaking? Usually the washer is not sitting flat, the nut is too loose or too tight, or the pipe is not fully home. Check each of those and reseat it.
