Detal-met Kolano GZ with hanger 16×1/2 pipe elbow

Detal-met Kolano GZ with hanger 16×1/2 pipe elbow is a metal plumbing fitting designed to connect a 16 mm pipe to a 1/2" threaded outlet while changing the flow direction. The elbow integrates a hanger that allows the fitting to be fixed to a supporting surface, reducing strain on the pipeline and simplifying installation in tight spaces. It is intended for domestic and light commercial plumbing systems where a compact, right-angle connection with a secure mounting point is required.

Advantages

The integrated hanger provides a stable attachment point that minimizes pipe movement and vibration. Constructed from metal, the elbow delivers durability and resistance to mechanical stress compared with plastic alternatives. Its compact form factor enables installation in confined areas and facilitates alignment between a 16 mm pipe and a 1/2" threaded connection. The fitting’s standard thread interface ensures compatibility with common plumbing components.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply lines requiring a 16 mm to 1/2" threaded transition
• Under-sink and appliance connections with limited space
• Light commercial plumbing where pipeline supports are needed
• Repair and retrofit works in existing domestic plumbing systems

Key specifications

• Connection sizes: 16 mm pipe to 1/2" threaded outlet
• Type: right-angle (elbow) fitting with integrated hanger
• Material: metal construction for enhanced mechanical strength
• Mounting: built-in hanger for fixed attachment to structure
• Application: cold and hot water plumbing in domestic and light commercial use

How to use

Prepare the 16 mm pipe by cutting squarely and deburring the end. Threaded connections should be sealed with appropriate thread sealant or tape compatible with potable water systems. Insert and secure the 16 mm end according to the pipe system type (push-fit, compression sleeve, or soldering as applicable for the specific metal fitting design). Align the elbow so the 1/2" threaded outlet faces the desired connection point, then fasten the fitting to the supporting surface using the integrated hanger and appropriate screws or anchors. Verify there are no leaks after pressurizing the system and make any final alignment adjustments.

Usage recommendations

Use suitable thread sealant rated for potable water and select mounting hardware that matches the installation substrate. Avoid overtightening threaded connections to prevent damage to the fitting. Inspect joints after initial pressurization and periodically during regular maintenance.
