KAN-therm plumbing elbow 45° 20 mm model 04104320

The KAN-therm plumbing elbow 45° 20 mm model 04104320 is a polypropylene (PP) pipe fitting designed to create a compact 45-degree change of direction in 20 mm plumbing and heating pipe systems. Intended for use with 20 mm PP pipes, this fitting provides a reliable joint between straight runs and angled sections while maintaining flow characteristics appropriate for domestic and light commercial installations. It is compatible with KAN-therm PP fittings and supports conventional installation methods used for polypropylene systems.

Advantages

This 45° elbow is made of polypropylene which offers chemical resistance, low thermal conductivity and dimensional stability under normal operating conditions. Its compact design minimizes space requirements in tight installation zones and helps reduce the number of fittings needed when smoother changes of direction are preferred over multiple 90° bends. The fitting is compatible with standard KAN-therm polypropylene joining techniques, ensuring consistent connections and predictable hydraulic behaviour.

Suitable for

• Redirecting 20 mm PP water supply lines with a 45° angle
• Compact plumbing and heating installations in residential buildings
• Light commercial systems where space-saving directional changes are required
• Connections within KAN-therm polypropylene piping systems

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Angle: 45 degrees
• Nominal pipe size: 20 mm
• Application: plumbing and heating pipe systems
• Compatibility: designed for use with KAN-therm PP fittings and 20 mm PP pipes

How to use

Prepare the 20 mm PP pipe ends by cutting square and deburring. Ensure mating surfaces are clean and free of contaminants. Join the elbow to the pipe using the appropriate KAN-therm recommended joining method for polypropylene fittings; follow the manufacturer's procedure for heat fusion or mechanical connection as applicable. After assembly, verify alignment and allow any required cooling or curing time before pressurizing the system. Perform a pressure test according to local installation standards to confirm leak-free joints.

Usage recommendations

Use this 45° elbow where a smoother directional change is needed to reduce flow turbulence and space consumption. Store fittings in a dry, UV-protected area to avoid material degradation. Follow KAN-therm system guidelines and local plumbing codes for maximum operating temperatures, pressures and correct joining procedures.
