What Is an M Press Wall Plate Elbow?
An M Press Wall Plate Elbow combines a 90-degree elbow, female threaded outlet and mounting plate within one fitting.
The press socket connects to compatible copper tube.
Meanwhile, the female threaded outlet accepts a compatible male threaded component.
The mounting plate then allows the complete fitting to attach securely to a suitable surface.
Therefore, installers can create a fixed threaded connection without relying on the copper pipe alone to support the outlet.
What Is a Wall Plate Elbow Used For?
A wall plate elbow creates a secure connection point where copper pipework terminates at a fixed threaded outlet.
Rather than leaving the connection unsupported, the integrated plate provides fixing points.
Therefore, it can help create a stable connection for suitable:
- Taps
- Valves
- Plumbing outlets
- Service connections
- Threaded fittings
- Water connections
- Heating components
- Other compatible male threaded equipment
Always confirm the connection requirements of the component being installed.
Why Is the Mounting Plate Important?
Pipework should not always carry the mechanical load of an attached component.
For example, operating a valve can introduce movement or twisting forces.
The mounting plate allows the fitting to attach directly to a suitable supporting structure.
Therefore, it can:
- Improve connection stability
- Reduce unwanted movement
- Maintain outlet position
- Support attached components
- Protect adjoining pipework
- Create a professional installation
The supporting surface and fixings must remain suitable for the intended application.
Wall Plate Elbow vs Standard Female Elbow
Both fittings combine a 90-degree direction change with a female threaded connection.
However, the wall plate version includes dedicated mounting points.
M Press Wall Plate Elbow
The mounting plate allows the fitting to attach securely to a supporting surface.
Therefore, it works particularly well where the threaded outlet needs a fixed position.
M Press 90° Female Elbow
A standard female elbow connects directly within the pipework without an integrated wall mounting plate.
Consequently, it suits installations where separate fixing of the threaded outlet is unnecessary.
Wall Plate Elbow vs Female Adaptor
A female adaptor normally provides a straight transition from copper tube to a female thread.
In contrast, the wall plate elbow changes direction through 90 degrees and includes mounting points.
Therefore, it can provide three functions within one fitting:
- Copper press connection
- 90° direction change
- Secure female threaded outlet
This combined design can simplify suitable installations.
Female Threaded Outlet
The wall plate elbow contains an internal female thread.
Therefore, a compatible male threaded component screws into the outlet.
Always check the exact thread specification before assembly.
The connection may be used with suitable:
- Male threaded valves
- Male threaded adaptors
- Plumbing outlets
- Service fittings
- Heating components
- Other compatible threaded equipment
Correct thread compatibility remains essential.
Ideal for Fixed Plumbing Outlets
Some plumbing connections need to remain firmly positioned.
For example, movement at a threaded outlet can make installation and future servicing more difficult.
The wall plate elbow provides dedicated fixing points.
Consequently, installers can secure the fitting before connecting the adjoining component.
This creates a stable transition between the concealed or surface-mounted copper pipework and the threaded outlet.
Ideal for Service Connections
Wall plate elbows can provide useful fixed connection points for suitable plumbing equipment.
The fitting can be mounted to a secure surface while copper pipe approaches from the required direction.
Therefore, it can help create organised service connections in:
- Utility areas
- Service cupboards
- Plant rooms
- Kitchens
- Bathrooms
- Commercial buildings
- Maintenance installations
Always select the fitting and mounting arrangement for the specific application.
Copper Press Fittings for Water
M Press technology provides a mechanical method of connecting compatible copper tube.
Firstly, the installer prepares the pipe correctly.
Next, the copper tube enters the press socket to the required depth.
Finally, compatible M profile pressing equipment completes the joint.
Therefore, the press connection requires no traditional soldering.
M Press fittings can form part of suitable:
- Hot water pipework
- Cold water pipework
- Water distribution
- Domestic plumbing
- Heating installations
- Plant rooms
- Commercial plumbing
- New build projects
- Refurbishments
- Maintenance work
No Soldering Required
The copper side uses an M Press connection.
Therefore, installers do not need:
- Solder
- Flux
- Blowtorch
- Naked flame at the press joint
Consequently, M Press provides a convenient mechanical alternative to traditional soldered copper connections.
Reduced Hot Works
Wall-mounted fittings can sit close to timber, plasterboard and finished surfaces.
Therefore, removing the need for a blowtorch at the press connection can provide an important practical advantage.
M Press technology creates the copper joint mechanically.
As a result, the wall plate elbow can prove particularly useful during refurbishment and alteration work.
How to Install an M Press Copper Wall Plate Elbow
Firstly, confirm the required copper connection and female thread sizes.
Next, determine the correct position and orientation of the threaded outlet.
Check that the supporting surface can securely hold the fitting.
Then, prepare the compatible copper tube.
Cut the pipe squarely with a suitable pipe cutter.
Remove internal and external burrs.
Inspect the copper tube and fitting for damage or contamination.
Mark the required insertion depth where specified.
Push the copper tube fully into the press socket.
Next, position the correct M profile press jaw around the designated pressing section.
Complete the full pressing cycle.
Secure the mounting plate using suitable fixings for the supporting structure and application.
Finally, connect the compatible male threaded component using the appropriate sealing method.
Inspect the complete installation before commissioning the system.
Secure the Wall Plate Correctly
The mounting plate is designed to provide physical support.
Therefore, the quality of the fixing surface remains important.
Choose suitable fixings for the material behind the fitting.
For example, the correct fixing method can differ between timber, masonry and other supporting structures.
Furthermore, position the fitting accurately before final tightening.
A secure installation helps prevent movement when the threaded component is fitted or serviced.
Plan the Outlet Position
Correct positioning is particularly important with a wall plate elbow.
Once secured, the fitting determines the location and orientation of the threaded outlet.
Therefore, check:
- Finished wall position
- Required outlet height
- Required outlet direction
- Copper pipe route
- Connected component dimensions
- Access for press equipment
- Access for future servicing
Careful planning helps create a neat finished installation.
Creating the Threaded Connection
Firstly, confirm that the male component matches the female thread.
Next, use a suitable thread-sealing method where required.
Carefully engage the threads to avoid cross-threading.
Then, tighten the connection correctly while supporting the wall plate elbow.
Avoid excessive force.
Finally, check the complete assembly before commissioning the system.
Avoid Over-Tightening
Threaded connections need correct tightening.
However, excessive force can damage the fitting or connected component.
Therefore, use appropriate tools and follow the relevant installation instructions.
The wall plate should also remain securely fixed while making the threaded connection.
Consequently, twisting forces are less likely to transfer into the adjoining copper pipework.
Always Deburr Copper Pipe
Freshly cut copper tube can contain sharp edges.
Therefore, installers should remove internal and external burrs before inserting the tube into the press socket.
Correct preparation helps protect the internal sealing components.
Furthermore, properly prepared copper tube can enter smoothly and reach the required insertion depth.
Mark the Insertion Depth
Correct pipe insertion remains essential.
Therefore, mark the required insertion depth where specified.
The mark provides a simple visual reference before pressing.
Furthermore, it helps identify any movement while positioning the fitting or press jaw.
Use the Correct M Profile Jaw
The press connection requires compatible M profile pressing equipment.
Before pressing, check:
- Fitting size
- Copper tube size
- M press profile
- Correct jaw size
- Press tool compatibility
- Jaw condition
- Pipe insertion depth
- Correct jaw position
- Wall plate orientation
Never substitute another press profile simply because it appears to fit around the fitting.
Allow Access for the Press Tool
The wall plate may sit close to a wall, timber support or other structure.
Therefore, installers should consider press tool access before permanently positioning the fitting.
Make sure the compatible M profile jaw can fully engage around the pressing section.
Furthermore, allow enough room for the press tool to complete its full operating cycle.
Planning tool access before fixing the elbow can make installation considerably easier.
Manual or Powered M Press Tool?
A suitable manual M Press tool may provide a practical option where the tool and jaw support the exact fitting size.
Alternatively, compatible powered press equipment can provide faster operation on larger installations.
However, wall plate installations can offer limited tool access.
Therefore, always check tool clearance and compatibility before positioning the fitting.
Ideal for Refurbishment Projects
Wall plate elbows can prove particularly useful when upgrading existing plumbing.
For example, an installer may need to create a new fixed threaded outlet from existing copper pipework.
The integrated mounting plate provides support.
Meanwhile, the M Press connection eliminates soldering at the copper joint.
Therefore, the fitting can work well during:
- Bathroom refurbishments
- Kitchen refurbishments
- Utility room installations
- Heating upgrades
- Plumbing alterations
- Property extensions
- Plant room modifications
- Maintenance work
