Coupling with internal thread KAN-therm 16x1/2" PP model 04103116

KAN-therm coupling with internal thread 16x1/2" PP model 04103116 is a polypropylene transition fitting designed to connect a 16 mm PP pipe to a 1/2" BSP female threaded component. The compact coupling provides a reliable junction between plastic piping systems and threaded valves, fixtures or accessories used in plumbing and heating installations. Its design enables a space-saving connection that maintains flow integrity when integrating PP pipework with metal or threaded plastic fittings.

Advantages

The coupling is made of durable polypropylene, offering chemical resistance and suitability for potable water and heating applications within recommended temperature and pressure limits. The internal thread provides a secure mechanical interface for standard 1/2" threaded fittings, while the socket end is prepared for fusion or push-fit connection depending on the system. The product’s compact dimensions facilitate installation in confined spaces and minimize protrusion from the pipe run.

Suitable for

• Connecting 16 mm polypropylene pipe to 1/2" threaded valves and fixtures
• Plumbing systems carrying potable water
• Heating circuit connections where PP piping interfaces with threaded components
• Repairs and modifications that require a pipe-to-thread transition

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Pipe size: 16 mm
• Thread size: 1/2" (female)
• Type: coupling with internal thread
• Application: plumbing and heating installations

How to use

Prepare the 16 mm PP pipe by cutting square and deburring the end. Depending on the PP system compatibility, install the pipe into the socket end by the appropriate joining method (e.g., socket fusion, electrofusion or approved push-fit procedure) following the system manufacturer’s instructions. Threaded components should be engaged to the internal 1/2" thread using compatible thread sealant or PTFE tape where required to ensure a leak-tight connection. Tighten to the torque recommended for the mating fitting material to avoid overstressing the plastic housing.

Usage recommendations

Confirm the operating temperature and pressure limits of the polypropylene system before installation and use appropriate sealing materials on the threaded connection. Use the coupling only with compatible PP pipe types and follow local regulations and installation standards for potable water and heating systems.
