The NYLON WALL PLATE ELBOW - F&F (1/2") is a specific type of plumbing fitting, commonly used in residential and commercial water systems.

Here is a breakdown of what the terms mean:

Wall Plate Elbow (or Back Plated Elbow): This is a 90-degree pipe fitting that is designed to be fixed directly to a wall or a wooden stud inside the wall cavity. It typically has a flat plate or lug with screw holes that allows it to be anchored securely. This positioning is critical as it provides a solid, finished point for connecting taps, shower arms, or other fixtures that extend through the wall.

Nylon: This indicates the material the fitting is made from. While many wall plate elbows are made of brass or chrome, a nylon elbow is a plastic option. Nylon is chosen for its corrosion resistance, light weight, and affordability, and it is often used with plastic piping systems like CPVC or PEX.

F&F (Female & Female): This refers to the type of thread connections on the elbow. It means both ends of the elbow have female threads, which accept a male threaded pipe or connector.

1/2" (Inch): This is the nominal pipe size (usually 15mm in metric terms) and the size of the threads on the fitting. This is the standard size for most domestic water supply connections to taps and fixtures.

Function
The primary function of this elbow is to:

Change Direction: Turn the pipeline by 90 degrees.

Provide a Fixed Outlet: Anchor the pipe securely to the wall, giving a strong, stable connection point for an external fixture (like a faucet tail piece).

Connect Pipes: Join two male-threaded pipe sections together at a right angle.

In short, it is a sturdy, plastic 90-degree threaded female plumbing connector designed to be mounted inside a wall to serve as the stable outlet for a fixture.
