Expert Insight:
The 2500-017JKRBF is the designated "Twin Ell" used to manage water flow in 2500-CP series tub/shower systems. Technical Tip: This fitting is essential for systems utilizing a diverter tub spout. It allows the mixed water from the valve to be shared between the shower riser and the spout. Installation Tip: This is a rough brass component intended for "behind the wall" installation. Because it utilizes NPT (tapered) threads, you must use a high-quality thread sealant or PTFE tape to ensure a leak-proof seal. Pro Tip: Always pressure test the valve and these elbow connections before closing the wall; internal leaks in the twin ell assembly can lead to significant water damage that is difficult to detect once the tile or wall panels are installed.
