Introduction: what is a swivel elbow?
A swivel elbow is a plumbing fitting that allows for movement in both directions, making it ideal for connecting shower accessories. It consists of a male and female component that fit together snugly, with the male component featuring a small ball-bearing that allows it to rotate within the female component. This gives the swivel elbow a wide range of motion, making it perfect for attaching shower heads, shower arms, and other similar accessories. A swivel elbow is typically made from plastic but can also be found in brass. Although the two materials are very similar in appearance, the plastic version tends to be more durable and less expensive than brass. A swivel elbow is typically used to connect a shower arm to a shower head but can also connect other components. It has a male and female component that fits together with an interference fit, which allows it to rotate within the female component.
