Pipe Elbow Detal-met Kolano PP 16 mm with 1/2" Female Thread and Hanger

Detal-met Kolano PP is a 90° polypropylene (PP) pipe elbow for 16 mm tubing, featuring a 1/2" female threaded connection and an integrated hanger. It allows secure transition between plastic tubing and threaded fittings while providing a compact directional change. The molded hanger simplifies mounting to walls or other structures, keeping the piping stable and aligned in plumbing, heating, and water distribution installations.

Advantages

The polypropylene construction offers chemical resistance and low weight, while the 90° geometry ensures precise directional change with minimal space requirement. The 1/2" female thread provides compatibility with common threaded fittings for a reliable connection. The integrated hanger reduces the need for separate supports and speeds up installation, improving alignment and reducing mechanical stress on joints.

Suitable for

• Domestic and commercial plumbing systems that use 16 mm plastic tubing
• Underfloor heating and radiator connections requiring compact threaded transitions
• Water distribution networks where wall mounting and secure fastening are needed
• Repair and retrofit projects involving conversion from tubing to threaded fittings

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Elbow angle: 90°
• Connection for tubing: 16 mm
• Threaded connection: 1/2" female thread
• Feature: integrated hanger for mounting
• Typical applications: plumbing, heating, water distribution

How to use

Insert the 16 mm tubing into the socket end according to the tubing connection method used (push-fit, glued or as specified by the system). Tighten a compatible 1/2" male threaded fitting into the female thread using appropriate sealant or tape if required for the system. Use the integrated hanger to fasten the elbow to a wall or structure with a suitable screw or anchor, ensuring proper alignment and support to avoid strain on the joint. Follow system manufacturer guidelines for pressure and temperature limits when assembling.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible fittings and appropriate thread sealing materials for leak-free connections. Avoid overtightening threaded fittings to prevent damage to the polypropylene thread. Secure the hanger to a load-bearing surface and check alignment after installation; inspect connections periodically as part of routine maintenance.
