Plasson Wall Plate Elbow - 20mm x 1/2"

DZR stands for Dezincification Resistant. It is a type of brass alloy that has been specifically formulated to resist the corrosion process of dezincification, making it highly suitable for water applications where longevity and integrity are crucial.

No, the Plasson 9055 Wall Plate Elbow is designed for installation without specialized tools. Standard plumbing tools for tightening connections and securing the plate to the wall are sufficient.

PN16 indicates that the fitting is rated to safely withstand a maximum operating pressure of 16 bar (approximately 232 psi) at normal water temperatures.

The fitting has a 20mm connection point. You can connect different pipe types (e.g., copper, PEX, other plastics) by using the appropriate type of adaptor. The bib tap connection is a standard 1/2" BSP thread.

While the DZR construction is robust, this specific product is designed as a wall plate elbow for surface mounting and connecting to bib taps. For underground applications, different types of pipe fittings and techniques are typically recommended.

The fitting is engineered from DZR brass for durability exceeding 50 years of service life under normal operating conditions.

Ensure the correct adaptor is used for the pipe type and that it is securely fitted. Check that the pipe is clean and properly inserted into the adaptor/fitting.

Verify the 1/2" BSP thread is properly aligned and tightened onto the bib tap. Check the integrity of the bib tap's own sealing washer.

Ensure the wall plate elbow is securely fastened to the wall or post using appropriate, robust mounting hardware. The fitting itself does not include mounting screws.
