The JG Speedfit Stem Elbow 15mm x 15mm is a high-quality, push-fit plumbing fitting designed to provide a secure 90 swivel-type connection between Speedfit fittings and pipework. Ideal for installations in hot and cold water systems and sealed or open-vented central heating systems, this fitting simplifies complex pipe layouts where space is limited or angled connections are needed.
The stem end of the elbow is engineered to be inserted into another Speedfit fitting, enabling a compact connection that avoids pipe looping or unnecessary joints. With a simple push-fit mechanism, it is both tool-free and demountable, allowing for quick installations and future modifications.
