Corner elbow fitting Detal-met Kolano PP 20 mm with 1/2" female thread and hanger

Detal-met Kolano PP 20 mm with 1/2" female thread and hanger is a polypropylene corner elbow fitting designed to join 20 mm plastic pipe to a 1/2" threaded component while providing a secure mounting point. The fitting creates a 90° change of direction in plumbing and heating circuits and includes an integrated hanger for fixed installation to walls or frames. It is intended for use in domestic and light commercial systems where a compact, mounted threaded elbow is required.

Advantages

The polypropylene construction provides corrosion and chemical resistance while remaining lightweight. The integrated hanger simplifies installation by allowing the elbow to be fixed close to the connection point, reducing mechanical stress on the pipework. The 1/2" female thread enables direct connection to a wide range of standard threaded valves and fittings without additional adapters. The small form factor supports space-efficient routing of pipes at a right angle.

Suitable for

• Connecting 20 mm plastic supply lines to 1/2" threaded valves and taps
• Right-angle changes in potable water distribution and heating circuits
• Mounted plumbing runs where wall or frame fixation is required
• Domestic kitchens, bathrooms and light commercial installations

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Connection to pipe: 20 mm plastic pipe (slip/press type depending on system)
• Threaded connection: 1/2" female thread (GW)
• Angle: 90° elbow
• Integrated hanger for mounting to structure
• Application temperature range: suitable for typical domestic hot and cold water systems (check system limits)

How to use

Prepare the 20 mm plastic pipe end according to the pipe system requirements (cut square, deburr and clean). Insert or join the pipe into the 20 mm connection following the pipe system’s joining method (e.g., socket fusion, push-fit or adhesive as appropriate). Screw the 1/2" male threaded component into the female thread by hand and then tighten with an appropriate wrench, taking care not to overtighten plastic threads. Use the integrated hanger to fix the elbow to a wall or mounting surface with a suitable fastener, ensuring the fitting is supported and alignment is maintained.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility between the 20 mm pipe joining method and the fitting before installation. For hot water or heating applications, confirm the system’s maximum temperature and pressure ratings. When connecting metal threaded components, use appropriate sealing material (e.g., PTFE tape) applied correctly to avoid leaks while avoiding excessive torque that could deform the fitting.
