45° Elbow Adapter Detal-met Kolano PP 25 mm to 1/2" Male Thread

Detal-met 45° Elbow Adapter Kolano PP 25 mm to 1/2" Male Thread is a polypropylene elbow fitting designed to connect a 25 mm PP pipe to a 1/2" male threaded component. The adapter changes the direction of flow by 45 degrees while providing a transition from a smooth-bore polypropylene pipe to a threaded valve, tap or fitting. It is intended for use in plumbing systems including potable water and heating systems where material compatibility and size match are observed.

Advantages

The fitting is made of durable polypropylene (PP), offering chemical resistance and low risk of corrosion compared with metal alternatives. Its 45° angle allows gentle changes in direction to reduce hydraulic stress and potential turbulence. The threaded end provides a secure mechanical connection to standard 1/2" male threads, simplifying installation to valves or taps without additional adapters. The lightweight construction facilitates handling and integration into residential and light commercial pipework.

Suitable for

• Connecting 25 mm polypropylene pipe to 1/2" threaded valves and taps
• Potable water distribution systems where PP fittings are specified
• Heating systems with compatible polypropylene piping
• Piping runs requiring a 45° directional change to avoid sharp bends

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Pipe connection size: 25 mm (for PP pipe)
• Thread type: 1/2" male thread (standard plumbing thread size)
• Angle: 45 degrees
• Application: potable water and heating systems (when materials are compatible)

How to use

Prepare the 25 mm polypropylene pipe by cutting squarely and deburring the end. Clean the pipe and the fitting contact areas to remove dust and grease. Insert the pipe into the PP socket and secure according to the chosen joining method compatible with Detal-met PP fittings (for example, solvent welding or thermal fusion where applicable). Thread the 1/2" male end into the mating female thread, ensuring proper engagement and using suitable thread sealant (such as PTFE tape) where system practice requires. After assembly, inspect connections for correct alignment and perform a pressure test according to system standards to verify leak-tightness.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter only with compatible polypropylene piping and standard 1/2" threaded components. Follow local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidelines for joining methods, pressure testing and temperature limits. Avoid exposing the fitting to solvents or conditions outside the rated service range for PP, and ensure thread sealants used are suitable for potable water if applied.
