KAN-therm elbow 90° 20 mm for polypropylene piping - model 04104020

KAN-therm elbow 90° 20 mm for polypropylene piping - model 04104020 is a right-angle fitting intended for use with 20 mm polypropylene (PP) pipes. It provides a compact change of direction in plumbing and heating systems and is compatible with PP piping assemblies where a durable 90° turn is required. The fitting is suitable for potable water, heating circuits and general plastic pipe installations, enabling tidy routing of pipework in limited spaces.

Advantages

The KAN-therm 90° elbow is manufactured to ensure consistent geometry and a tight fit with 20 mm PP pipe, reducing the risk of leakage when properly installed. Its compact design allows for space-efficient layouts and straightforward integration into standard polypropylene systems. The material properties of polypropylene provide corrosion resistance and suitability for a wide range of temperatures typically encountered in domestic and commercial plumbing and heating applications.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Change of direction in domestic potable water installations using 20 mm PP pipe
• Bends in heating circuits and radiator connections
• Compact routing of supply and return lines in mechanical cupboards and crawl spaces
• General plastic piping assemblies where a 90° joint is required

Key specifications

• Angle: 90° elbow for right-angle connections
• Pipe compatibility: designed for 20 mm polypropylene (PP) pipes
• Material: polypropylene suitable for potable water and heating use
• Application: plumbing and heating systems including potable water and heating circuits
• Installation type: push-fit or fusion compatible depending on system requirements and installer technique

How to use

Prepare the 20 mm PP pipe by ensuring ends are cut square, deburred and clean. Depending on the chosen joining method for the polypropylene system (mechanical push-fit, solvent welding or thermal fusion), insert or join the pipe into the elbow following the system manufacturer's instructions and applicable standards. Verify alignment and secure connections; after cooling or curing time if applicable, perform a pressure test in accordance with local regulations to confirm leak-free installation.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible joining tools and follow KAN-therm system guidelines for polypropylene fittings. Avoid excessive mechanical stress on the elbow after installation and observe manufacturer-recommended pressure and temperature limits for PP piping systems.
