DELTA FAUCET 50570-CZ-PR Universal Showering Components Wall Elbow, Champagne Bronze

Solidly built and finish is very nice.

To the people who purchased this fitting and it worked perfectly, I am happy for you! For those of you purchased this item and had a bad experience I share your frustration! I have to say I thought DELTA could have engineered this a little better and built in some adaptability. This thing is very unforgivable. It is hit or miss when tightening. Also in the process of trying to install my stainless steel fitting I scratched the surface in a place where it can be seen. Removed and attempted to buff out the scratch. Imagine my surprise to find out this is really a brass fitting with a coating of stainless steel! I dont think this was mentioned in the description. Thought I was paying for stainless. Well being the glutton for punishment and wanting things to match I purchased a second one! This time I am going to use an Inlet Nipple 1/2 NPS (National Pipe Straight thread) meaning the threads do not taper! Maybe one of these should have been included so it can be custom trimmed to length. It has been a very frustrating experience.

This is a fundamentally flawed design. It requires a 1/2 MPT nipple protruding from your wall at EXACTLY the right distance, or you cannot get a seal. I installed three of these in a new construction shower, both the plumbing and the tile done by seasoned high end professionals. When it came time to mount this shower elbow, I had a choice of 1.5 or 2 inch long nipples. The 2 was too long: I could get a good seal on the threads but the elbow wouldnt bottom out on the tile. The 1.5 would bottom on the tile but the threads werent sealed. i tried multiple times using teflon tape, pipe dope, more teflon tape, all to no avail. Once its bottomed out, youre done. The only way to make it tighter would be to turn the entire unit another revolution, which I also tried, scratching the surface of the elbow even through my protective cloth, and almost breaking off the fitting inside the wall. Bottom line: this product is flawed. It needs a totally different design so it has some adjustability to the mounting and sealing. Avoid.

The Delta Dryden collection looks great. Unfortunately, its expensive, and its the one my wife wanted. This looks better with the Dryden fixtures than the rounded elbow. 5 stars if it was 30% cheaper. 5 stars if my wife lets me into the shower with her.

Matte black

Nice looking elbow. Had to return the first one though because it didnt have the nipple on it No issue for the replacement and came with nipple attached.

When it turned out that the Delta shower kit did not include the elbow, we needed to quickly find one that worked and matched up with the design of the shower fixture. This did the trick. It did not mount as tightly as we expected though, so needed to make some adjustments to ensure that no water could get behind it and into the wall. Looks good with our setup.

Good product

Its a Delta, works as instructed

Not a lot to say about it other than it looks good strong built. We were going for a square design in our shower. Square rain head shower head faucets so this having that same look was great
