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

Great professional looking elbow, makes the install look very nice.

Good

This item is sold without a connecting threaded pipe. Ill explain this observation after I point out what they should be selling! The omitted item is a half-inch pipe, threaded at each end, all the way to a narrow connecting section in the middle (either smooth or able to accept a hex drive). Ideally this pipe would be around 4 to 5 inches and would have constant thread diameter so you simply tape up the ends and screw them into the wall and fitting as far as needed. Too long? All you have to do is trim the pipe ends with a saw or dremel. That would be a beautiful, elegant solution. Time to install, on average, less than 15 minutes with the correct tools to-hand. So whats the issue here? Well Lowes, Home Depot etc dont sell threaded pipes with a constant external and internal (thread) diameter. This is because the want the thread to bite at a certain point and form a decent seal. You can then crank the pipe maybe a half turn to grind metal threads together and form a seal. But unfortunately thats not what we want here. In our case we need adjust-ability. So having drawn a blank at Lowes/Home Depot/ Ace Hardware, I set out for specialist plumbing outlets. No joy! A completely fruitless and expensive waste of time. I eventually went to a friend with a professional lathe who turned threads onto a length of pipe for me. Installation time, 2 days. Ive bought many Delta items for plumbing over the years and Ive come to the unalterable conclusion that Delta hates the home DIYer. The item itself is reasonably decent but also crazy expensive for what is dubious metal and a cheap plastic seal.

Highly polished. Heavy casting. High quality.

Same

Perfect. It looks so modern and classic at the same time. Install is easy. I took the pressure off my husband (somewhat) by installing the complete Vero set myself. In all fairness, I had him check to make sure I tightened without over tightening each piece.

Like easy to install
