Not a good design, if leaks matter.
I bought this wall elbow (#50560) a few years ago and finally am redoing the shower. It looks nice but I would NOT recommend one because unless you can cut our own ½” nipples to EXACTLY the right THREADED length you’ll have to wonder if there’s a leak in the wall, which you won’t know for sure until the tiles start falling off and the studs begin to rot. The instructions say the nipple should stick out from the finished wall no more than ½” and no less than ¼”. Mine was right at ½”, but it was too short—the threads weren’t very tight and the plastic gasket that should seal against the wall wasn’t very tight. Another full turn would be another 1/14” tighter, which wasn’t possible. I might have got another ½ turn. There’s no give in the porcelain tile and cement backer board. I figured if the threaded length of my nipple were 1/20” longer it may have worked.
I phoned Delta but the woman could offer no help. How do they expect these to work? If you could access the pipe in the wall from behind it might work, but I’d have to punch a hole through the stucco exterior of my house.
I may buy a Kohler 22174-CP elbow, which doesn’t have the same problem—you tighten the pipe (and feel confident it is leak-proof), then press the wall plate against the wall with silicon sealant behind it. Not quite the same look, but better than a possible leak in the wall!
The photo shows a 2" brass nipple. I wound up using a 2" galvanized nipple, which was a little tighter, but not tight enough to keep me from worrying about leaks.

Nice utility sink
Nice capacity. The rubber mat prevents scratching the sink bottom. This is consumer grade, so don't expect the scratch resistance of commercial grade. Use the rubber mat!!

Just another part
Not sure what this part is for...a lot of extras in the box that I didn't need. And part that I did need was not included.

My standby.
My go to if the finish is chrome. I don't care for the sharp edged elbos in a shower.

Quality piece
Solid cast, plated elbow impressive quality. Relatively heavy. Spacing from wall is a little tricky, trial and error and shimming behind drop ear elbow before final fitment.

Great Accessory but missing a gasket
Very happy with my purchase and the overall quality. However, the item came without an installation gasket. Hoping that it doesn't take too long to receive a replacement. Wishing that there was a link on the Delta website where we could go for these things instead of using customer support....which had a 30 min wait time.

Functional item that performs well.
This product performs as expected and is made by a brand I trust and have used over a long period of time. Their quality is great; their customer service is exceptional, and their warranty likewise.

No plastic here
This is an all brass fitting that does not have any plastic cover parts that a lot of the higher end manufacturers are using at a better price point.

This is one of the components that makes up a complete shower system. This is the second system we have purchased for a new bathroom remodel in a different home. We, as well as our plumber are pleased to know all components come when ordering the shower system.
